I'm pleased to announce 🍦 Icecream 🍨 v0.3!
New features include:
* Training on multiple tomograms (same training time, with linear increase in RAM) 🚀
* Logging and plotting of the loss function 📉
* The --scale option is now called --eq-weight for clarity 😉
We'd love to hear your feedback! 🙏🏽

Last year it was discovered that a single bacterial NLR-like protein can recognize multiple, structurally unrelated phage proteins (Béchon et al, Kibby et al)
Now, a new study shows the same for a plant NLR. Another example how principles of immunity remain conserved from bacteria to eukaryotes
