The paper uses an XGBoost classifier to identify novel T6SS effectors in bacterial genomes, validating three new toxins with cytotoxic effects and structural features.

This paper presents a modular platform for producing toxic bacterial proteins by linking toxins to their immunity proteins, enabling scalable and functional recovery.

This study shows that reduced viral entry in monocytes leads to HCMV latency, while efficient entry enables productive infection, highlighting entry as a key determinant of latency.

This study develops VECOS, a viral-encoded CRISPR screen to analyze host dependencies during cytomegalovirus infection, identifying novel factors and revealing the importance of virion assembly.
