Google Enformer is one of the greatest accomplishments of the highly accomplished @deepmind team
It could impact the field of genetics profoundly
It has improved the prediction of gene expression 1/3rd of the way towards experimental ground truth

Before Enformer, tools such as Basenji2 used convolutional neural networks
These struggle to incorporate information from distant regions in the genome 🧬
Enformer uses a modified transformer architecture
It has a field of view 5x Basenji2
