De novo peptide sequencing with InstaNovo

InstaNovo is a transformer neural network with the ability to translate fragment ion peaks into the sequence of amino acids that make up the studied peptide(s). InstaNovo+, inspired by human intuition, is a multinomial diffusion model that further improves performance by iterative refinement of predicted sequences.
