It's not the models, it's the data!

We show that a substantial proportion of a widely used TCR-pMHC database does not functionally validate, causing underestimation of performance of TCR-pMHC prediction models.

A functionally validated TCR-pMHC database for TCR specificity model development
Accurate prediction of TCR specificity forms a holy grail in immunology and large language models and computational structure predictions provide a path to achieve this. Importantly, current TCR-pMHC ...

Few years ago, our collaborators on the "base J" project identified the JBP3 protein. We had determined the crystal structure of the DNA-binding domain, but we could never make sense of the cryo-EM reconstructions of full-length JBP3: nice single particles, but AlphaFold models did not fit the maps.

Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New features coming soon!

🧵 Bioinformatics faces a critical challenge: despite its importance, software quality often falls short due to the lack of proper development practices.

In our latest paper, we advocate for improving software quality in bioinformatics through teamwork.
