Abstract excerpt
The degree to which evolution is predictable is a fundamental question in biology. Previous attempts to predict the evolution of protein sequences have been limited to specific proteins and to small changes, such as single-residue mutations. Here, we demonstrate that by using a protein language model to predict the local evolution within protein families, we recover a dynamic "vector field" of protein evolution...
