Building DeepQuant: My Adventure with Transformers and RNA-seq

Deep Learning RNA-seq Transformers

So I decided to dive headfirst into the world of transformers and RNA-seq data. What could go wrong, right? Well, turns out building DeepQuant has been one of those "seemed like a good idea at 2 AM" projects that actually turned into something pretty cool...

Life at Quantum realm

Quantum Biology

The term Quantum biology (Quanten-Biologie) was first used by Pascual Jordan in 1943 in his book “Die Physik und das Geheimnis des Lebens” posing a question “Sind die Gesetze der Atomphysik und Quantenphysik für die Lebensvorgänge von wesentlicher Bedeutung?” (‘Are the laws of atomic and quantum physics of essential importance for life?’) . At that time the question was essentially theoretical in nature as the existing technology didn’t allow it to be perused experimentally. Later Erwin Schrodinger an early pioneer in the field of quantum physics in his book “What is life” (1994) discussed the application of quantum mechanics to solve biological problems. He introduced the idea of an aperiodic that could store genetic information in its configuration of covalent bonds and suggested that mutations might occur due to quantum leaps. With the recent advancement in the field of quantum computing and simulation, quantum biology has developed as a new vision to observe natural phenomenon under the light of quantum mechanics.
