Hi HN - we’re the founders of Ligo Biosciences and are excited to share an open-source implementation of AlphaFold3, the frontier model for protein structure prediction. Google DeepMind and their new startup Isomorphic Labs, are expanding into drug discovery. They developed AlphaFold3 as their model to accelerate drug discovery and create demand from big pharma. They already signed Novartis and Eli Lilly for $3 billion - Google’s becoming a pharma company! (https://www.isomorphiclabs.com/articles/isomorphic-labs-kick...) AlphaFold3 is a biomolecular structure prediction…

I started this trying to understand two things: why my Asian friends turn red after drinking, and why several friends all seemed to have migraine clusters. I was reading medical papers and textbooks, but kept getting lost jumping between topics. I thought: what if I could just Cmd+Click through this like code? What if "ALDH2 gene" was actually clickable, and took me to the variant, the phenotype, the population frequencies? So I started modeling human biology in Rust with my Ralph agent (Claude in a loop, ty ghuntley). Turns out the type system is perfect for this. Every biological entity is…

Many important real-world datasets come in the form of graphs or networks: social networks, knowledge graphs, protein-interaction networks, the World Wide Web, etc. (just to name a few). Yet, until recently, very little attention has been devoted to the generalization of neural...

Hey HN! We're releasing ESM C, a series of protein language models that set a new state of the art. By training on metagenomics and fine-tuning on UniRef, we're able to match ESM2 650M with ESM C 300M, and ESM C 6B has incredible unsupervised contact precision performance. These models are meant to be used as base models and representation learning models for protein sequences, and we'll release a preprint describing exact details soon.

Purna AI ▲8# Show Community: MIP - A Molecular Intelligence Platform for Biology Teams Hi, Community! I'm Sid, founder of Purna AI. We've been building a Molecular Intelligence Platform for the last few months, and now it's in research preview. It's a single workspace where molecular medicine teams can go from raw biology data to interpretation without juggling a dozen disconnected tools. ## The Problem If you work in clinical genomics, rare disease research, computational biology, or similar fields, your workflow probably looks like this: export variants from one tool, look up annotations in another,…

We can now build drastically higher quality search because we can use LLMs in algorithms that mimic a human's systematic research process, instead of just roughly recommending results based on semantic embeddings or term frequency. We built a deep search LLM pipeline that takes a few minutes to carefully search all the scientific literature. You describe your complex goal, as you would to a colleague. Then, we carefully search 200M+ papers. We classify the preliminary results with GPT-4. We then adapt the search goals based on relevant/irrelevant papers uncovered and continue searching,…

I've been working on nodes.bio - an interactive tool for visualizing biological networks and systems thinking. The tool features interactive network visualization powered by Cytoscape.js, with real-time graph editing and manipulation capabilities. It supports JSON import/export and provides a responsive design that works seamlessly on the desktop (mobile-friendly version coming later). The tech stack combines modern frontend technologies with robust backend architecture. The frontend uses Next.js 14 with TypeScript and Cytoscape.js for the visualization engine. The backend is built with…
