Genome annotation is one of the things that we really need AI / machine learning to crack. New software makes it a little easier, but this one is a really interesting take on the problem.

EvoWeaver: large-scale prediction of gene functional associations from coevolutionary signals - Nature Communications
Despite having structures for most proteins, we still do not know their function. Here, authors introduce EvoWeaver, a de novo method to identify genes working together using evolutionary information....

It's my absolute pleasure to say that we have a new paper from the lab out. This work uses evolutionary lineages to discover functional associations in proteins. We call it EvoWeaver.

Wrapping up a project on #clustering #networks in #R (and #C) — I wrote a 4-part #blogpost on the stuff I learned. >1M nodes and >75M edges now runs with 500MB RAM in under 5min & billions of nodes are doable in under a day. Part 1 of the series is here: www.ahl27.com/posts/2024/1...
Efficient File I/O, Part 1: Some (somewhat) surprising findings on C’s fseek
I’m working a lot with files for my latest research project, ExoLabel. I’ve (mostly) finished ensuring that the algorithm itself is accurate, so lately I’ve been turning my attention to optimizing its...
