My new paper "Deep Learning is Not So Mysterious or Different": arxiv.org/abs/2503.02113. Generalization behaviours in deep learning can be intuitively understood through a notion of soft inductive biases, and formally characterized with countable hypothesis bounds! 1/12

Which RNAs are functional? Been a long time goal of @deboramarks.bsky.social to start an RNA sequence —> function and structure mapping.

Huge thx to team for pushing on this when - led by Rohit Arora and Murphy Angelo for seeing this thru and Pascal Notin for pulling together!!!

From Likelihood to Fitness: Improving Variant Effect Prediction in Protein and Genome Language Models Generative models trained on natural sequences are increasingly used to predict the effects of genetic variation, enabling progress in therapeutic design, disease risk prediction, and synthetic biolog...

New preprint in collaboration with @paulinanunezv.bsky.social supervised by @jonnyfrazer.bsky.social and Mafalda Dias – we propose a simple approach to improving zero-shot variant effect prediction in pre-existing protein and genome language models: 🧶 1/n

Proteome-wide model for human disease genetics Identifying variants driving disease accelerates both genetic diagnosis and therapeutic development, but missense variants still present a bottleneck as their effects are less straightforward than tru...

Agree for now maybe .. but, maybe, we will get to the point we don’t need family to discover strong variant effects?
Some suggestion this might be true .. see www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... “Proteome-wide model for human disease genetics”

And now, the final talk of #VariantEffect25. @roseorenbuch-art.bsky.social from Harvard Medical School presents work from our long-standing collaboration, and one that’s very close to my heart: Proteome-wide model for human disease genetics
