Mapping conformational B-cell epitopes remains a central challenge for antibody discovery: experiments are costly and most computational tools trained on generic protein–protein interfaces transfer poorly to antibody–antigen recognition. We introduce...
A key problem in learning is credit assignment. Biological systems lack a plausible mechanism to implement the backpropagation approach, a method that underlies much of the dramatic progress in artificial intelligence. Here, we use automated connecto...
Identification of important biomarkers associated with complex disease survival outcomes is fundamental for gaining an in-depth understanding of disease mechanisms and advancing precision medicine in conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular disor...
Freezing of gait (FOG), a disabling symptom of Parkinson’s disease, varies in manifestations and motion contexts. Its heterogeneity motivates subtype categorization such as manifestation-specific subtypes (akinesia, trembling or shuffling) or motion-...
Foundation models have transformed natural language processing and computer vision, yet their potential in single-cell biology—particularly for complex diseases such as cancer— remains underexplored. We present Tahoe-x1 (Tx1), a family of perturbatio...
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition is a key mechanism in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and in counteracting toxic exposures to pesticides and nerve agents. However, virtual screening of AChE remains challenging due to the enzyme’s s...
This study investigates the acute impact of high-intensity activity on perceptual decision-making, using computational modeling to assess changes during and after physical activity. Participants performed a two-alternative forced choice perceptual de...
Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines represent a major advancement in synthetic biology, yet their efficacy remains limited by how efficiently the encoded protein is translated within the host. Since multiple codons can code for the same amino ...
The first malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum genome published in 2002 jump-started functional studies, but a large fraction of all predicted proteins remains partially annotated and of ‘unknown function’. Here, we introduce Plasmodium Function Pr...
Inspired by the success of large language models in areas like natural language processing, researchers have applied similar architectures, notably the Transformer, to protein sequences. Thanks to these developments, Protein Language Models (PLMs) ha...
