Scientists develop two new AI tools to decipher proteins often missed by existing detection methods.

Uncovering these unknown proteins in all types of biological samples could be key to creating better cancer treatments, improving doctors’ understanding of diseases.

AI models are a step toward “the holy grail” of protein research: to unravel the genetic identity of previously unstudied proteins en masse.

The possibility of false positives, which the study authors estimate at around 5 percent , means the AI output requires extra verification.

How to best evaluate these AI tools remains an open question, says William Noble , a developer of Casanovo .

AI sequencing is not a replacement for database searching, Smythers says.
