Are you interested in getting started in #bioinformatics but not sure where to begin? Here are some tips to help you get started on your journey. A THREAD🧵🧵:
Start by learning a high-level #programming language, such as #Python or #R, and familiarizing yourself with data structures and #algorithms commonly used in #bioinformatics. The #BioPython and #Bioconductor libraries are great resources for this.
Since the publication of #AlphaFold2 and #RoseTTAFold and now that the tools and models have been made accessible, there has been an avalanche of attempts to solve old crystal structures. This thread covers tips from the #PhaserTeam for doing #MR with these models. (1/...)
The first thing to be aware of is that the B-factor fields contain measures of confidence in the correctness of the prediction, not actual B-factors. This means: 1) we can use that confidence to trim the model and 2) we need to convert that to an appropriate B-factor. (2/...)
Phaser will take those B-factors and use them to weight the different parts of the model. This can improve your chances of success with the model. (3/...)
