#66 AlphaFold and shape-mers with Janani Durairaj

Listen Later

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.
