Sifting Through the Noise: A Computational Pipeline for Accurate Prioritization of Protein- Protein Binding Candidates in High-Throughput Protein Libraries

This paper introduces a computational pipeline using AlphaFold2 to prioritize protein-protein binding candidates from high-throughput libraries and identify binding epitopes.

Large-scale geographic survey provides insights into the colonization history of a major aphid pest on its cultivated apple host in Europe, North America and North Africa

The paper investigates the colonization history of the rosy apple aphid across Europe, North America, and North Africa using genetic and microbiota data, finding weak genetic differentiation and limited role of secondary endosymbionts in its spread.

Endosperm and seed transcriptomes reveal possible roles for small RNA pathways in wild tomato hybrid seed failure

The paper analyzes transcriptomes and small RNA expression in hybrid tomato seeds to identify roles for small RNA pathways in hybrid seed failure.

Highly parallelized microfluidic droplet cultivation and prioritization on antibiotic producers from complex natural microbial communities
