Trainable computation in molecular networks

The paper identifies a molecular mechanism for non-genetic learning in single cells using reversible interaction networks and autoregulatory training rules.

The membrane transition strongly enhances biopolymer condensation through prewetting

The paper shows that membrane prewetting enhances biopolymer condensation by lipid composition, observed in simulations, reconstitution, and cells.

Polymer Collapse and Liquid-Liquid Phase-Separation are Coupled in a Generalized Prewetting Transition

The paper shows that polymer collapse and liquid-liquid phase-separation are coupled in a generalized prewetting transition, using simulations and theory to demonstrate stability in regimes where individual phases are unstable.

bpRNA: Large-scale Automated Annotation and Analysis of RNA Secondary Structure

The paper introduces bpRNA, a tool for annotating RNA secondary structures, and presents a large database of annotated structures for improving structure prediction and analysis.
