Somatic mutational signatures describe where mutations come from 🧬. But do they shape how proteins function? In our new preprint, we show that mutational processes can systematically rewire cellular signaling networks by altering short linear motifs (SLiMs). Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I don't agree with everything but this is a good take from a book writer on the AI and art. A bit long and geeky. Why do we root for a scify humanoid (Data in StarTrek) trying to learn about art but dislike LLMs doing it? Data was doing it because he wanted to grow
