DESCRIPTION:Predicting a protein’s structure from its primary sequence h
 as been a grand challenge in biology for the past 50 years\, holding the p
 romise to bridge the gap between the pace of genomics discovery and result
 ing structural characterization. In this talk\, we will describe work at D
 eepMind to develop AlphaFold\, a new deep learning-based system for struct
 ure prediction that achieves high accuracy across a wide range of targets.
  We demonstrated our system in the 14th biennial Critical Assessment of Pr
 otein Structure Prediction (CASP14) across a wide range of difficult targe
 ts\, where the assessors judged our predictions to be at an accuracy “co
 mpetitive with experiment” for approximately 2/3rds of proteins. The tal
 k will cover both the underlying machine learning ideas and the implicatio
 ns for biological research.
