Excited to unveil Boltz-2, our new model capable not only of predicting structures but also binding affinities! Boltz-2 is the first AI model to approach the performance of FEP simulations while being more than 1000x faster! All open-sourced under MIT license! A thread… 🤗🚀

I guess it depends on which humans he’s referring to

Bioorganic GRC is set! I got tired of the lack of swag so made a couple of unofficial tees. Order one if you want to support the conference (or simply enjoy strange looks in grocery stores). Spirit: chembio-shop.fourthwall.com/products/grc... World Tour: chembio-shop.fourthwall.com/products/spi...

Please check out our new approach to modeling somatic mutation signatures. DAMUTA has independent Damage and Misrepair signatures whose activities are more interpretable and more predictive of DNA repair defects, than COSMIC SBS signatures 🧬🖥️🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our trainees invited @nickingolia.bsky.social as speaker in the RNA Biology seminar series. Cool insights into roles of protein disordered regions in mRNA decay regulation!

Despite some ups and downs at NIH, we do have an open position for a postbac and are considering candidates. Our work is at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, and we aim to understand how the brain's densely connected recurrent networks operate. 🧪

mTORC1 is activated when cells are fed with amino acids. New preprint with @robzonculab.bsky.social led by Rachel Jansen shows how the massive "CastiGATOR" complex is formed when arginine-free CASTOR1 binds to the GATOR2 complex to antagonize mTORC1 starved cells. tinyurl.com/yr6en6f4

As the incoming Chair of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine, I am looking for a Director of Research. Exciting opportunity for a PhD scientist to shape the future of this new Department! Apply here: jobs.weill.cornell.edu/NY/job/New-Y...

More funding is always good, but frankly not much “top global talent” will be attracted by €500M

This funding will be competed for and divided among already well funded European labs.

The perfect end to the weekend

AFESM: a metagenomic guide through the protein structure universe! We clustered 821M structures (AFDB&ESMatlas) into 5.12M groups; revealing biome-specific groups, only 1 new fold even after AlphaFold2 re-prediction & many novel domain combos. 🧵 🌐 afesm.foldseek.com 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
