Spatial Modeling Algorithms for Reactions and Transport in Biological Cells

Research on Spatial Modeling Algorithms for Cellular Signaling Reactions and Transport Background Biological cells achieve their functions through complex biochemical reaction networks. These networks exhibit significant spatiotemporal dynamics, with pronounced spatial compartmentalization across different regions and subcellular structures. Howeve...

Genome-aware annotation of CRISPR guides validates targets in variant cell lines and enhances discovery in screens

Genomic Medicine and Re-annotation of CRISPR Guides: Application and Validation of the EXORCISE Algorithm Academic Background The advent of CRISPR-Cas9 technology has revolutionized genetic screening, particularly in studying gene essentiality and chemo-genetic interactions. By designing guide RNAs (gRNAs) that target specific genes, the CRISPR-Cas...

Hierarchical Design of Pseudosymmetric Protein Nanocages

Academic Background Protein self-assembly is a ubiquitous phenomenon in biological systems, performing a wide range of functions from structural support to biochemical regulation. Despite significant progress in protein design in recent years, existing self-assembling protein structures typically rely on strict symmetry, which limits their size and...
