Stanford's James Zou and Zijian Ma are partnering with Nature Methods on "AI Bytes," a monthly column written by AI experts to explain technical concepts to life science researchers. The first piece, "Biological foundation models," breaks down how foundation models learn general patterns from broad data and adapt to many biology tasks, citing landmark work like Rives et al. and ESM (Lin et al., Science 2023). Topic suggestions are welcome.
