By solving a previously unsolved biological question, the AI co-scientist predicted a complex mechanism of gene transfer and generated hypotheses that opened new research directions, illustrating AI's...

Bacteriophage (phage) genome annotation is essential for understanding their functional potential and suitability for use as therapeutic agents. Here we introduce Phold, an annotation framework utilis...

Nature Communications - Here, the authors present a method to rapidly isolate actively translating ribosomes in a time- and cost-effective manner using poly-lysine. The method is compatible with a...

Zinc finger proteins (ZNFs) are the largest family of transcription factors, yet how they activate gene expression remains unclear. In this study, we identified Zincore, a protein complex consisting o...

Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 19 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41580-025-00857-wStudying RNA function is constrained by limitations of traditional methods. This Roadmap discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance the study of how non-coding regions of mRNA regulate its function, and suggests how to use AI to harness publicly available data towards that goal.

In recent years, the number of newly discovered systems that bacteria use to combat bacteriophages is increasing at an impressive rate. To obtain m...

Boys and girls exhibit very similar maths scores upon school entry, but a gender gap in favour of boys becomes highly significant after 4 months of schooling, which increases with years of schooling,&...

With the launch of the competitions for grants under ERC Work Programme 2026 in July of this year, several changes to the submission of applications and the evaluation of proposals will apply. The mai...
