A team of scientists at Facebook AI Research have released a deep-learning model for processing protein data from DNA sequences. The model contains approximately 700M parameters, was trained on 250 million protein sequences, and learned representations of biological properties that can be used to improve current state-of-the-art in several genomics prediction tasks.

Conducting load tests against APIs and websites can both validate performance after a long stretch of development and get useful feedback from an app in order to increase its scaling capabilities and performance. Engineers should avoid creating “the cathedral” of load testing and end up with little time to improve performance overall. Write the simplest possible test and iterate from there.
