research!rsc: Go Data Structures
When explaining Go to new programmers, I’ve found that it often helps to explain what Go values look like in memory, to build the right intuition about which operations are expensive and which are not. This post is about basic types, structs, arrays, and slices. Basic types Let’s start with some simple examples: The variable…
With generative AI, MIT chemists quickly calculate 3D genomic structures
Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different from a skin cell, are partly determined by the three-dimensional structure of the genetic material, which controls the accessibility of each gene….
A new computational model can predict antibody structures more accurately
By adapting artificial intelligence models known as large language models, researchers have made great progress in their ability to predict a protein’s structure from its sequence. However, this approach hasn’t been as successful for antibodies, in part because of the hypervariability seen in this type of protein. To overcome that limitation, MIT researchers have developed…
