This study shows that larger protein language models can overestimate sequence likelihood, leading to poor fitness prediction, and recommends moderate model sizes for better performance.

This study shows that subconcussive head impacts in American football players alter gut microbiome diversity and composition over time.

The paper develops MDmis, a method using molecular dynamics simulations of intrinsically disordered regions to predict variant pathogenicity, finding Long IDRs show stronger pathogenic effects than Short IDRs.
