AlphaFold predictions are valuable hypotheses and accelerate but do not replace experimental structure determination
Artificial intelligence-based protein structure prediction methods such as AlphaFold have
revolutionized structural biology. The accuracies of these predictions vary, however, and …

Basidiomycete yeasts in the cortex of ascomycete macrolichens
For over 140 years, lichens have been regarded as a symbiosis between a single fungus,
usually an ascomycete, and a photosynthesizing partner. Other fungi have long been known …

The spotted gar genome illuminates vertebrate evolution and facilitates human-teleost comparisons
To connect human biology to fish biomedical models, we sequenced the genome of spotted
gar (Lepisosteus oculatus), whose lineage diverged from teleosts before teleost genome …
