OpenFold: retraining AlphaFold2 yields new insights into its learning mechanisms and capacity for generalization
AlphaFold2 revolutionized structural biology with the ability to predict protein structures with exceptionally high accuracy. Its implementation, however, lacks the code and data required to train new models. ...

Open AccessPMF-GRN: a variational inference approach to single-cell gene regulatory network inference using probabilistic matrix factorization
Inferring gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from single-cell data is challenging due to heuristic limitations. Existing methods also lack estimates of uncertainty. Here we present Probabilistic Matrix Factorizat...

Open AccessStructure-primed embedding on the transcription factor manifold enables transparent model architectures for gene regulatory network and latent activity inference
Modeling of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is limited due to a lack of direct measurements of genome-wide transcription factor activity (TFA) making it difficult to separate covariance and regulatory interact...

Open AccessCRISPR arrays as high-resolution markers to track microbial transmission during influenza infection
Disruption of the microbial community in the respiratory tract due to infections, like influenza, could impact transmission of bacterial pathogens. Using samples from a household study, we determined whether m...

Open AccessCharacterization of antibiotic resistance and host-microbiome interactions in the human upper respiratory tract during influenza infection
The abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the human respiratory microbiome remain poorly characterized. In the context of influenza virus infection, interactions between the virus, t...

High-definition spatial transcriptomics for in situ tissue profiling
Spatial and molecular characteristics determine tissue function, yet high-resolution methods to capture both concurrently are lacking. Here, we developed high-definition spatial transcriptomics, which captures...

Open AccessAnalysis of 3D genomic interactions identifies candidate host genes that transposable elements potentially regulate
The organization of chromatin in the nucleus plays an essential role in gene regulation. About half of the mammalian genome comprises transposable elements. Given their repetitive nature, reads associated with...

Article
Open AccessFungi stabilize connectivity in the lung and skin microbial ecosystems
No microbe exists in isolation, and few live in environments with only members of their own kingdom or domain. As microbiome studies become increasingly more interested in the interactions between microbes tha...

Open AccessComputing structure-based lipid accessibility of membrane proteins with mp_lipid_acc in RosettaMP
Membrane proteins are underrepresented in structural databases, which has led to a lack of computational tools and the corresponding inappropriate use of tools designed for soluble proteins. For membrane prote...

Article
Open AccessAn expanded evaluation of protein function prediction methods shows an improvement in accuracy
A major bottleneck in our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of life is the assignment of function to proteins. While molecular experiments provide the most reliable annotation of proteins, their rel...
