Evo 2 is out in Nature today, showing that genome language models can predict and design across the full complexity of life, from phages to eukaryotes.

A few surprises from the project, including how ignoring trillions of nucleotides was key to getting a good model. 🧵

[@teojcryan.bsky.social @teojcryan]

@ZaminIqbal @IzziePotterill yes it was! No worries, conferences do be like that 😂 I might reach out to you via email if that's okay!

[@teojcryan.bsky.social @teojcryan]

Presenting a poster on my efforts at characterising metagenomes with De Bruijn graphs. Drop by poster B008 (delightfully palindromic) at #Microbio24 if you're keen to chat more!

[@teojcryan.bsky.social @teojcryan]

@ZaminIqbal I'm sure we'll get to chat about it at some point!

[Niko McCarty. @NikoMcCarty]

part of biology's beauty is that it's open to everyone.

as a biologist, im not confident that i could meaningfully advance math, physics, or chemistry.

but mathematicians, physicists, etc. have already (and will continue) to make some of the most meaningful advances in biology.
