Ancestral proteins trace the emergence of substrate specificity and oligomerization within bacterial DEDDy dinucleases

Nucleases are crucial for various bacterial processes, including genome maintenance and host defense. Deoxydinucleases (diDNases), a class of Gram-positive bacteria–specific nucleases associated with mobile genetic elements, are homologous to nanoRNase C (NrnC) in Gram-negative bacteria but exhibit notable differences:...

LAMBDA: a prophage detection benchmark for genomic language models.

Transformer-based genomic sequence models represent an emerging frontier in computational biology. Yet, their embeddings have not yet shown the same level of predictive power as natural and protein language models, highlighting a gap between current implementations and theoretical promise. Existing benchmarks for DNA l...
