Happy to share our newest preprint. PhyloNaP as a user friendly database of phylogeny for enzymes involved in natural product production and as public repository for well curated phylogenetic trees. Happy Tree Building!!! #phylogeny #secmet #bioinformatics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

PhyloNaP: a user-friendly database of Phylogeny for Natural Product-producing enzymes

Phylogenetic analysis is widely used to predict enzyme function, yet building annotated and reusable trees is labor-intensive and requires extensive knowledge about the specific enzymes. Existing reso...

🚀 Excited to share that our article with @ezgikaraca.bsky.social is now published in Communications Biology! In this study, we explored DNA readout rules of almost identical DNMT3A and DNMT3B (91% sequence similarity!), and we asked: how can nearly the same proteins “see” DNA so differently? 🧬✨
