Synergy between sequence and size in large-scale genomics
TR Gregory - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2005 - nature.com
Until recently the study of individual DNA sequences and of total DNA content (the C-value)
sat at opposite ends of the spectrum in genome biology. For gene sequencers, the vast …

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 …

An alternative root for the eukaryote tree of life
The root of the eukaryote tree of life defines some of the most fundamental relationships
