The flow of genetic information from DNA to protein is governed by the central dogma of molecular biology. Genetic drift and mutations usually lead to changes in DNA composition, thereby affecting the coding sequences (CDS) that encode functional pro...
UNLABELLED: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is the most common cancer in people living with HIV (PLWH), particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV or human herpesvirus 8 [HHV-8]) is endemic. In KSHV endemic areas, the overal...

Protein evolution has shaped enzymes that maintain stability and function across diverse thermal environments. While sequence variation, thermal stability and conformational dynamics are known to influence an enzyme's thermal adaptation, how these fa...
Most antibodies for treating COVID-19 rely on binding the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). However, Omicron and its sub-lineages, as well as other heavily mutated variants, have rendered m...
A comprehensive, computable representation of the functional repertoire of all macromolecules encoded within the human genome is a foundational resource for biology and biomedical research. The Gene Ontology Consortium has been working towards this g...
The unprecedented sequencing efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic paved the way for genomic surveillance to become a powerful tool for monitoring the evolution of circulating viruses. Herein, we discuss how a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence ...
The pursuit of obtaining enzymes with high activity and stability remains a grail in enzyme evolution due to the stability-activity trade-off. Here, we develop an isothermal compressibility-assisted dynamic squeezing index perturbation engineering (i...
Protein glycosylation, a vital post-translational modification, is pivotal in various biological processes and disease pathogenesis. Computational approaches, including protein language models and machine learning algorithms, have emerged as valuable...
