Modeling Protein Sequence Evolution as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process in a Latent Space
An unsupervised inference model that integrates directed-evolution sequencing time series with natural homologs is presented and the inferred couplings improve structural contact prediction by combining global evolutionary constraints from nature with local, experiment-specific signals.
