Protein sequence and use of transformer: A worth read

I came across an interesting read on protein sequence with the use AlphaFold2 by Demis Hassabis and John Jumper.

An insightful read. It highlights the transformative power of AI in reshaping our understanding of life at a molecular level. Proteins are indeed the fundamental building blocks of life, and the ability to predict their structure and function with precision opens up possibilities for breakthroughs in medicine, biotechnology, and beyond. The impact of this revolution is bound to resonate for generations.
Thanks for sharing.

not only this @lukmanaj understanding protein sequence and having ability to relate to a species and further lead to identify many reasons behind genetic disorder for which many of the diseases are still not curable. I had read a research article where they were trying to find reason behind Parkinson’s disease and these ai analysis can actually help to understand pattern in such genetic patients or Alzheimer’s and many more.

So It’s all in hand of human to make AI useful.

Yes. The possibilities are limitless. Also, AI capabilities are growing. We are living in interesting times. Let’s hope humans use AI responsibly. As there are definitely questions of ethics that will come up, regarding things like genetic engineering and what it means to be human.
