"Equivalent of a James Webb Space Telescope for biology," now predicting 3D structure of >200 million proteins, this is the most important life science advance since genome editing washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/… #AI @DeepMind @demishassabis

I'm happy to see AlphaFold continuing to make headlines a year later. Last year it was just 315k proteins.
