The PAN-GO paper is a remarkable milestone. It not only provides the most comprehensive picture of human gene function to date, but also carefully maps this knowledge across the tree of life! Congratulations Marc Feuermann, Pascale Gaudet et al!

Thrilled to represent @ISBSIB at the AI-Bioscience Collaborative Summit in Washington DC, organized by @StateDept et al. Great to see a growing recognition of curated biodata’s critical role in AI breakthroughs, exemplified by resources like PDB & @uniprot enabling AlphaFold. 1/2

“Two things were important about the PDB data: it’s checked and validated by expert curators. The other thing is that the data are completely machine readable.”

Much of the success of breakthroughs, such as AlphaFold, is thanks to a database of protein structures dreamed up in the 1960s by Helen Berman go.nature.com/4hp4UCP
