While I'm not going to be at #2025ISMPMI this year (🥲),
@kseniakrasileva.bsky.social will be there presenting on some of our latest work that was submitted to BioRxiv today. Teaser: Plant immunity + large language models will transform receptor discovery and engineering for disease resistance. 🌱🚀
Mamp-ml was built upon two decades of foundational research. To generate the training data required, I manually pulled receptor and epitope sequences from every paper I could find, small or large. In total, we were able to capture over 1,300+ combinations across 11 receptors and 91 plant species.
