Non-identifiability and the Blessings of Misspecification in Models of Molecular Fitness

NeurIPS 2022accept

Understanding the consequences of mutation for molecular fitness and function is a fundamental problem in biology. Recently, generative probabilistic models have emerged as a powerful tool for estimating fitness from evolutionary sequence data, with accuracy sufficient to predict both laboratory mea…

Optimal Design of Stochastic DNA Synthesis Protocols based on Generative Sequence Models

AISTATS 2022poster

Generative probabilistic models of biological sequences have widespread existing and potential applications in analyzing, predicting and designing proteins, RNA and genomes. To test the predictions of such a model experimentally, the standard approach is to draw samples, and then synthesize each sam…

A Structured Observation Distribution for Generative Biological Sequence Prediction and Forecasting

ICML 2021spotlight

Generative probabilistic modeling of biological sequences has widespread existing and potential application across biology and biomedicine, from evolutionary biology to epidemiology to protein design. Many standard sequence analysis methods preprocess data using a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) a…

A generative nonparametric Bayesian model for whole genomes

NeurIPS 2021poster

Generative probabilistic modeling of biological sequences has widespread existing and potential use across biology and biomedicine, particularly given advances in high-throughput sequencing, synthesis and editing. However, we still lack methods with nucleotide resolution that are tractable at the sc…
