AI's human protein database a 'great leap' for research
On Thursday, researchers at Google's DeepMind and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) unveiled a database of 20,000 proteins expressed by the human genome, freely and openly available online. They also included more than 350,000 proteins from 20 organisms such as bacteria, yeast and mice that scientists rely on for research. To create the database, scientists used a state-of-the-art machine learning programme that was able to accurately predict the shape of proteins based on their amino acid sequences. Instead of spending months using multi-million dollar equipment, they trained their AlphaFold system on a database of 170,000 known protein structures. The AI then used an algorithm to make accurate predictions of the shape of 58 percent of all proteins within the human proteome.

School board elections are usually sleepy events with one or two candidates, and in some districts they still are. But virtual school in 2020 put parents physically in the classroom as partners in learning and inspired some to get involved at a systemic level. This year has drawn an unusually high number of competitive races, with parents driven to action by debates over divisive curriculum and dissatisfaction with decisions delaying school re-opening.
