‘Solve all diseases,’ you say?

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis announced Gemini for Science at Google I/O, a suite of AI tools aimed at accelerating scientific discovery, particularly in medicine. While Hassabis stated the company's hope to "solve all diseases," the article clarifies this refers to dramatically reducing the time for medical breakthroughs rather than an immediate cure. The tools build upon existing projects like AlphaFold, which aids in understanding protein structures, and AlphaGenome, which predicts DNA mutations, though ethical and practical limitations remain.

Protein Fold Classification at Scale: Benchmarking and Pretraining

Researchers have developed TEDBench, a new large-scale benchmark for protein fold classification, designed to overcome limitations in existing datasets and models. To address performance issues with current methods, they introduced Masked Invariant Autoencoders (MiAE), a self-supervised learning framework. MiAE utilizes a high masking ratio and an SE(3)-invariant encoder to effectively learn protein structure representations, outperforming supervised methods on the new benchmark. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new benchmark and a self-supervised framework that could improve protein structure analysis and accelerate biological discovery.
