We don't know what most microbial genes do. Can genomic language models help? there's only one way to find out! this is a 1 hour and 42 minute interview with an MIT professor (the famous Yunha Hwang) chatting about these questions, her work in solving them at Tatta Bio,... and more. zoomer captions are back too Links in reply!
