Pleased to see our latest paper out in Acta Cryst D (journals.iucr.org/d/issues/202...). It describes Slice'N'Dice, software for splitting up an AlphaFold model (or any structure actually) in a variety of ways, and then placing it with Molecular Replacement or directly into a cryo-EM map.
Slice'N'Dice: maximizing the value of predicted models for structural biologists
Recent advancements in computational structural modelling have provided structural biologists with access to high-quality predictions that can be used to aid experimental structure determination. Slic...

In our latest review, we explore 12 deep-learning tools for metagenomic analysis, covering their strengths, limitations, and key applications. We hope it serves as both a resource and inspiration for new ways to analyze metagenomic data. Great work by Eli Levy Karin!

Prediction confidence scores help #AlphaFold users gauge the reliability of protein structure predictions. 🖥️🧬

But things get more challenging for protein families.

A new method helps improve low confidence predictions within protein families.
