Proteins are large biomolecules that play an important role in the body. Knowing the physical structure of proteins is key to understanding their function. However, it can be difficult and expensive to determine the structure of many proteins experimentally. One alternative is to predict these structures using machine learning algorithms. Several high-profile research teams have […]

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a landmark cancer genomics program, producing molecular data for nearly 20,000 primary tumors and matched normal tissues from 11,328 patients across 33 cancer types. The TCGA includes germline and somatic variants, copy number variants, mRNA expression, miRNA expression, DNA methylation, and protein expression for most patients. In addition to […]
