> I didn't realize they'd made this much progress. It's not complete obviously but being able to figure out gene expression is a massive step forward. The ability to switch off genes (this is where the CRISPR editing comes in) and seeing what changes is just astounding (there was an example of chromosome segregation).
The protein folding problem was solved earlier this year. You can expect a lot more coming in this vein... interesting times.
- dekhn 4y agothe protein structure prediction problem was solved, not protein folding. Different field. Also, it wasn't really much "solved", so much as prediction got as good as the metric used to compare the predictions to reality, so we can't really say for sure whether the predictions are better than golden labels or not.
