🧵🧵 THREAD: #Bioinformatics and #AlphaFold 🧵🧵
1. #AlphaFold is a deep learning system developed by #DeepMind, to predict the 3D #structure of #proteins from their #aminoacid sequence.
2. #AlphaFold has been applied and tested extensively in the biennial #CASP (Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction) experiment, and has achieved state-of-the-art performance.
3. #AlphaFold uses a combination of #convolutional and recurrent #neural #networks, trained on large amounts of #protein #sequence and structure data.
4. #AlphaFold allows #bioinformaticians to quickly and accurately predict the 3D structure of #proteins, without the need for expensive and time-consuming experimental methods.
5. #AlphaFold enables #bioinformaticians to better understand the function, dynamics, and evolution of #proteins, and to design new drugs and therapies.
6. #AlphaFold is an example of the power and potential of #deep #learning in #bioinformatics, and of the close collaboration between academia and industry.
7. Cloud genomics is a leader in the field of bioinformatics and deep learning, providing expert advice and solutions to help researchers and organizations succeed in their projects.
