This has Demis written all over it. There is a great video of him with AlphaFold chatting with the team about releasing some results, and he asked something like “what if we just do them all?”
Very excited to see that happen here.
I don’t think Demis played a big role in this. It was mainly Ziga Avsec who developed Enformer (the first actually decent sequence-to-function model), and then AlphaGenome.
This has nothing to do with AlphaFold at all- not sure if you were implying that. (the scientific contriution is welcome, but it's not particularly significant)
Why are you excited about this?
