🚨ICML Paper Alert🚨 What if finding the right protein homologs wasn't a slow search, but a learned part of the model itself? We introduce 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, an end-to-end framework that learns to retrieve the most useful homologs for self-supervised reconstruction! (1/12)

Whose protein design model reins supreme? You design, we test, science wins 😛 Protein Engineering Tournament 2025 registration is live!!!!
1/4 🚀 Announcing the 2025 Protein Engineering Tournament. This year’s challenge: design PETase enzymes, which degrade the type of plastic in bottles. Can AI-guided protein design help solve the climate crisis? Let’s find out! ⬇️ #AIforBiology #ClimateTech #ProteinEngineering…
Marks Lab is HIRING!!! If you're a software engineer interested in biology, proteins, RNAs, viruses, genomes, etc etc and ML apply here: shorturl.at/GZOqV
Announcing popEVE - a deep generative model of the human proteome that reveal over a hundred novel genes involved in rare genetic disorders medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… @Jonnygfrazer @aaronkollasch @H__Spinner @c_sheare @MafaldaFigDias @deboramarks explore at pop.evemodel.org
The February issue, with a focus on protein engineering, is live nature.com/nbt/volumes/42… Our cover shows the three data types key to machine learning for functional protein design: structure, sequence and labels, from a Review by Notin et al. go.nature.com/49EPi9x
