@banfieldlab.bsky.socialLoL-align is out in @natmethods.nature.com! It aligns protein structures without superposition. More sensitive than TM-align and DALI, producing better alignments 5–20× faster. Now available in Foldseek! 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 💾 github.com/steineggerlab/foldseek 🌐 search.foldseek.com
Show PostI’m happy to share our study out in Microbiome! link.springer.com/article/10.1... Knowing that coculture interactions often disappear in larger communities, we used cocktails of phages to study vitamin exchange interactions within enrichment cultures.
Show PostNew preprint! Super excited to share these computational tools for predicting lanthanide binding sites in proteins across the tree of life.
Show PostThe review also covers other discoveries from @banfieldlab.bsky.social and @linxingchen1987.bsky.social , such as Borgs and Hodors! Check out the preprint on pMEGAs: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
