Are you using AI models on protein or DNA sequences? Did you maybe forget that their embeddings come with no obvious measure of reliability?
Imagine how sequence analysis would suffer if source sequences were sometimes subtly randomized. This is exactly what happens if we use low-quality embeddings.

Shout out to Hot Tub concocted papers at #psb2025! Our Ten Simple Rules for Scientific Comics arose from a hot tub hypothesis with @yanabromberg.bsky.social - "Hey, I bet we could write a paper on scientific comics!" @pacsym.bio

Do you have any 'hot tub' papers?

Association of polygenic scores for neuropsychiatric traits with self-reported professions based on analysis of 420k individuals from UK Biobank and Million Veteran Program. Look at the 'arts & design' category. Artistic talent comes at a cost--a piece of your mind :)

Excited to share our latest work in #metagenome analysis. We built REMME/REBEAN to analyze and label sequencing #reads.
End result? We can label activity of #microbiome #proteins with minimal homology to #enzymes we've seen before.

Great work by R. Prabakaran!
