Great to see these back in my inbox David, although I'll advance apologise that I'll likely be late to get to them and perhaps miss the occasional ones depending upon how overwhelmed I'm feeling by the sheer number of Substack emails I receive. 😆

This is super impressive. I haven't read the paper yet, but I'm already considering what points I can weave into some of my teaching. I enlisted a colleague to run a special new workshop on alphafold this previous semester, which was awesome. Pairing it with something like this (once the API is public for researchers) has potential to be used, too.

For my own work, I'd be keen to see how this closes with viral DNA expression and regulation.

Hey Nathan! it's great to hear from you. I am just getting back to regularly posting and am very behind on my reading as well. It looks like you are becoming kind of famous in these parts.

These tools are blowing me away. It would not shock me for AlphaGenome to similarly get considering for a Lasker award. The level of casualness we now accept these tools is its own interesting aspect.

The viral DNA expression is an interesting aspect. An immediate practical application would also be for any kind of recombinant protein production.
