  1. 1. Prediction of multiple conformational states of membrane proteins

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Bioinformatik

    Author : Tobias Thorén; [2024]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; Protein prediction; AlphaFold;

    Abstract : Predicting protein structures has long been an area of active research in the field ofbioinformatics. Great strides have recently been made in this area by googles DeepMindteam. They developed an AI called AlphaFold which is able to make the most accuratepredictions of protein structures as of date. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analyzing the performance of active learning strategies on machine learning problems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Vendela Werner; [2023]
    Keywords : computer science; bioinformatics; machine learning; active learning; artificial intelligence; supervised learning; Astrazeneca; maskininlärning; artificiell intelligens; datorvetenskap; active learning; bioinformatik; supervised learning;

    Abstract : Digitalisation within industries is rapidly advancing and data possibilities are growing daily. Machine learning models need a large amount of data that are well-annotated for good performance. To get well-annotated data, an expert is needed, which is expensive, and the annotation itself could be very time-consuming. READ MORE

  4. 3. From Plant Genetic Resource Conservation to Digital Biorepositories: A Coming Paradigm Shift in Ex-Situ Conservation?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Christopher Keegan; [2023]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; Genebanks; Genetic Engineering; Mixed-Methods; Multi-Disciplinary; Patent Analysis; Plant Genetic Resources; Synthetic Biology; Technological Trajectories; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete.

  5. 4. Antibiotic consumption was associated with higher abundance of gut microbiota species previously linked to coronary atherosclerosis in the population-based SCAPIS cohort

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tiscar Graells Fernandez; [2023]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; microbiome; gut; subclinical coronary atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : Background: The human gut microbiota is the complex microbial community that lives in our gut. The gut microbiota has a key role in health and disease and its disruption has been linked to several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE

  6. 5. Messing With The Gap: On The Modality Gap Phenomenon In Multimodal Contrastive Representation Learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknik

    Author : Mohammad Al-Jaff; [2023]
    Keywords : Multimodal machine learning; Representation learning; Self-supervised learning; contrastive learning; computer vision; computational biology; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : In machine learning, a sub-field of computer science, a two-tower architecture model is a specialised type of neural network model that encodes paired data from different modalities (like text and images, sound and video, or proteomics and gene expression profiles) into a shared latent representation space. However, when training these models using a specific contrastive loss function, known as the multimodalinfoNCE loss, seems to often lead to a unique geometric phenomenon known as the modality gap.
