New AI Tool DeepGO-SE Promises to Unravel the Inner Workings of the Cell

A new AI tool, DeepGO-SE, developed by KAUST bioinformatics researcher Maxat Kulmanov, outperforms existing methods for forecasting protein functions and can analyze proteins with no clear matches in existing datasets. The model was ranked in the top 20 of more than 1,600 algorithms in an international competition. DeepGO-SE employs logical entailment to draw conclusions about molecular functions based on general biological principles, offering a groundbreaking approach to understanding cellular mechanisms.
