Ever wondered how to best quantify cell-cell neighbor preferences in tissues?
We compared 9+ neighbor preference (NEP) methods for analysing spatial omics data and propose a novel approach that combines the most relevant analysis features which we call COZI 🔬✨

Protein backbone diffusion models consistently undersample catalytically important motifs, and oversample idealized helices, raising questions about the appropriateness of these methods in designing starting points for enzyme design & evolution. From www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Protein structure embeddings reveal undersampled and de novo structure space. (B) First two principal components of mean-pooled ESM3 embeddings colored by helix content determined by DSSP. The indicated dashed guide lines denote visual boundaries of native structure space not sampled (Undersampled) and novel regions of protein structure for this space only observed in samples but not in native structures (De novo). (C) Rasterized visualization of panel B with 16 equally spaced grid squares in each principal component axis. A representative structure from each grid was chosen at random. Empty grid squares indicate the absence of any structure in the enclosed region. De novo alpha helices are shaded along the lower-right diagonal and the structures from CATH which do not have corresponding structures in the samples are shaded along the left and top rims. The structures are displayed in CATH raster plot are given in the Supplementary Information.
