Announcing our preprint: Predicting evolutionary rate as a pretraining task improves genome language model representations: biorxiv.org/content/10.648… Genome language models (gLMs) have the potential to further understanding of regulatory genomics without requiring labeled data...

@shrinivaslab @RyanKrue @BrennerGroup1 JAX! awesome!

Excited for 1st paper from our lab - led by the amazing @RyanKrue in collab. with @BrennerGroup1. How do we design intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that lack a stable structure and are continuously shapeshifting for different target functions? doi.org/10.1101/2024.1…

Very happy to share what I've been working on in Barcelona with @BenLehner ! We made many (>400k) mutations in a disordered peptide and the globular domain it interacts with to gain a comprehensive map of how specificity is encoded in a partially fuzzy protein interaction (1/n)

Looks interesting: "A Functional Map of the Human Intrinsically Disordered Proteome" 🍝 by @IPritisanac, @ReidAlderson, @KolaricJess, ..., @JulieFormanKay1, @AMosesLab doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Do current genomic language models (pre-trained on whole genomes) learn a foundational understanding of biology in the non-coding region of human genomes? A new evaluation led by @AmberZqt suggests not yet! 1/N paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really like the idea from this paper -- biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Also, I like the accuracy of the study, e.g authors compare model trained with their procedure (train on augmented data + finetune on real) not only with baseline model (train on real) but on finetuned baseline model
