Introducing MIMIC: a new foundation model trained natively across DNA, RNA and proteins. MIMIC is multimodal and generative: it can use structure, regulation, evolution, and experimental context to infer missing biology or design new sequences. 🧵⬇️

We just preprinted one of my favorite studies @FlatironInst . I was lucky to be part of an amazing team studying the effects of rapid cooling to preserve samples in cryoEM. Read on to learn about the limits of cryoEM for biophysics and how to overcome them www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

ROCKET came out on Nature Methods today. It takes a tremendous amount of effort to translate a research concept into a practical tool—one that researchers can seamlessly drop into their existing pipelines. We learned a lot along the path and will carry that spirit forward.

I was asked an interesting question at a (worky/networky) dinner this week. "What percentage of the human proteome has experimentally determined structures?" - Do you know the answer off the top of your head?
