Description

This package provides an implementation of the inference pipeline of AlphaFold v2.0. This is a completely new model that was entered in CASP14 and published in Nature. For simplicity, we refer to this model as AlphaFold throughout the rest of this document.

This module depends on a singularity image. To make usage easier, an alias has been created named raf.sh which handles most of the options that are unlikely to change from run to run.
