This study identifies E. coli-derived vitamin B6 (PLP) as essential for resuming postembryonic development in C. elegans after developmental arrest.

The paper identifies E. coli purE mutants that delay C. elegans development and increase stress tolerance via DAF-16 nuclear translocation.

This paper programs animal physiology and behaviors using engineered bacteria that modulate gene expression, behavior, and metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans through RNA interference.

The paper introduces the Nucleic Transformer, a deep learning model for DNA/RNA tasks that is effective, interpretable, and performs well with limited data in promoter classification, viral genome identification, and mRNA vaccine degradation analysis.
