#66 AlphaFold and shape-mers with Janani Durairaj

  • Summary

  • This is the second episode in the AlphaFold series, originally recorded on February 14, 2022, with Janani Durairaj, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Basel.

    Janani talks about how she used shape-mers and topic modelling to discover classes of proteins assembled by AlphaFold 2 that were absent from the Protein Data Bank (PDB).

    The bioinformatics discussion starts at 03:35.
