TLDR
A deep neural network capable of predicting molecules with antibacterial activity is trained and a molecule from the Drug Repurposing Hub-halicin- is discovered that is structurally divergent from conventional antibiotics and displays bactericidal activity against a wide phylogenetic spectrum of pathogens.

Synthetic biology-inspired strategies and tools for engineering of microbial natural product biosynthetic pathways.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discussed recent advances in synthetic biology-inspired strategies, including bioinformatics and genetic engineering tools and approaches for identification, cloning, editing/refactoring of candidate biosynthetic pathways, construction of heterologous expression hosts, fitness optimization between target pathways and hosts and detection of NP production.

Deep Graph Neural Networks with Shallow Subgraph Samplers

TL;DR: A simple "deep GNN, shallow sampler" design principle is proposed to improve both the GNN accuracy and efficiency -- to generate representation of a target node, a deep GNN is used to pass messages only within a shallow, localized subgraph.

One Transformer Can Understand Both 2D & 3D Molecular Data

TL;DR: Transformer-M as discussed by the authors uses the standard Transformer as the backbone architecture, and develops two separated channels to encode 2D and 3D structural information and incorporate them with the atom features in the network modules.

Deep learning to design nuclear-targeting abiotic miniproteins

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined high-throughput experimentation with a directed evolution-inspired deep learning approach in which the molecular structures of natural and unnatural residues are represented as topological fingerprints.

Electrochemical Deposition of Cu Metal-Organic Framework Films for the Dual Analysis of Pathogens.

TL;DR: In this paper, an electrochemical biosensor was proposed for the dual detection of Staphylococcus aureus based on the electrodeposition of Cu metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) thin films.

Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2

TL;DR: This work presents DESeq2, a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates, which enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform

TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.

edgeR: a Bioconductor package for differential expression analysis of digital gene expression data.

TL;DR: EdgeR as mentioned in this paper is a Bioconductor software package for examining differential expression of replicated count data, which uses an overdispersed Poisson model to account for both biological and technical variability and empirical Bayes methods are used to moderate the degree of overdispersion across transcripts, improving the reliability of inference.

One-step inactivation of chromosomal genes in Escherichia coli K-12 using PCR products

TL;DR: A simple and highly efficient method to disrupt chromosomal genes in Escherichia coli in which PCR primers provide the homology to the targeted gene(s), which should be widely useful, especially in genome analysis of E. coli and other bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extended-Connectivity Fingerprints

TL;DR: A description of their implementation has not previously been presented in the literature, and ECFPs can be very rapidly calculated and can represent an essentially infinite number of different molecular features.
