Deep-learning models have transformed our ability to predict the phenotypic effects of sequence perturbations. Protein language models (pLMs) score the evolutionary propensity of any amino-acid substi...

Retrotransposons can infect neighboring cells using a mechanism that relies on a small fusogen-like protein rather than on the envelope protein that is typically required for infection.

The Life Sciences Departments in Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences seek to recruit a tenure-track professor whose research is at the interface of AI and life sciences, from methodological developme...

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

Reprogramming biosynthetic assembly lines can extend biosynthesis beyond the chemical space explored by nature. However, this remains difficult because assembly-line function depends on coordinated in...

Nature Microbiology, Published online: 16 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02484-3An engineered non-pathogenic bacterium produces lytic phages and is protective in mouse models of Salmonella infection.

Abstract. Outbreak sequencing provides insight into the origin and evolutionary processes acting on emerging pathogens. Sequencing a historic multihost out

Brogan and Rudner report the identification of a microbial autoproteolytic domain that is structurally homologous to the GAIN domain of eukaryotic adhesion GPCRs. Rather than participating in transmem...

High-resolution maps and models of the bacterial ribosome provide new chemical insights into protein synthesis, and should enable the development of robust tools for cryo-EM structure modeling and ref...

by Elio — So says a blogger by the name of Psi Wavefunction regarding an eye-like structure of some protists called the ocelloid. She wrote this in a now defunct blog eponymously called 'The Ocell…

High-dimensional data are visualized through representation on tree structures.

Abstract. Microbial populations strongly shape their environment, which can re-route adaptation toward organism-generated fitness optima. However, the cond
