The paper shows that unobserved protein sequence space contains many functional proteins, challenging the assumption that existing proteins cover most functional space.

The paper develops a high-throughput assay to measure lanmodulin selectivity for rare-earth elements, identifying variants with enhanced separation capabilities.

GENTANGLE is a computational tool for designing overlapping gene pairs in microbial genomes, enabling safer genetic engineering through gene entanglements.

This paper demonstrates how sequence entanglement and adaptive evolution can stabilize synthetic genetic circuits by altering mutational landscapes and reducing circuit burden.
