EvoDiff (Microsoft Research, 663+ stars) is a discrete diffusion framework for protein sequence generation trained on 42M+ protein sequences. Unlike structure-based approaches, it operates in sequence space, enabling generation of proteins with disordered regions while supporting functional motif scaffolding. Published as a bioRxiv preprint (2023).

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request integrates EvoDiff, a novel discrete diffusion framework for protein sequence generation, into the existing collection of resources. This addition expands the scope of available tools, particularly for sequence-based protein design, complementing current structure-based approaches and enabling the generation of proteins with disordered regions.

Highlights

  • New Resource Added: EvoDiff, a discrete diffusion framework for protein sequence generation, has been added to the list of protein structure prediction and design resources.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • README.md
    • Added EvoDiff to the "Protein Structure Prediction and Design" section.
    • Included a description of EvoDiff's capabilities and a link to its bioRxiv preprint.

Code Review

This pull request adds the EvoDiff resource to README.md. However, it is incomplete because the derived data files (data/resources.yml, data/resources.json, data/resources.csv, docs/data/resources.json) have not been updated. These files are generated from README.md via the scripts/sync_resources_from_readme.py script and are used to populate the project's website. Without updating them, the new resource will not be visible on the website, and the repository's data will be inconsistent. Please run the sync script and commit the updated files to complete this pull request.

This addition is incomplete because the data files generated from this README (e.g., data/resources.yml, data/resources.json) have not been updated. Please run the scripts/sync_resources_from_readme.py script and commit the generated file changes. This is necessary to keep the project's data consistent and to ensure the new resource appears on the website.
