Reverse Homology

Hypothesis Discovery for Intrinsically Disordered Regions


Reverse homology is a method for discovering important features in intrinsically disordered regions.

We trained a neural network to identify molecular features of intrinsically disordered regions conserved across evolution. By applying interpretation techniques, we can visualize features that our neural network hypothesizes will be evolutionarily conserved (and thus likely functionally important) features of single sequences.
