Protection for Pollinators: AI Could Help Create Pesticides That Don’t Kill Bees
A machine learning method could help chemists formulate pesticides that target harmful insects but leave bees alone. Researchers at Oregon State University developed models that classify whether or not a chemical is fatally toxic to bees.

Biomedical Treasure Chest: DeepMind open sources AlphaFold and protein databases.
DeepMind opened access to AlphaFold, a model that finds the shapes of proteins, and to its output so far — a potential cornucopia for biomedical research. The research lab, a division of Google’s parent company Alphabet, made AlphaFold freely available.

What AI Knows About Proteins: NLP systems can be used to code amino acids.
Transformer models trained on sequences of amino acids that form proteins have had success classifying and generating viable sequences. New research shows that they also capture information about protein structure.
