Research Update Bacteriophage characterization provides platform for rational design Complete, intricate cryo-EM bacteriophage structures enable future phage engineering and AI design.
Research Update Molecular clock analysis shows bacteria used oxygen long before widespread photosynthesis Scientists use the Great Oxidation Event and how organisms adapted to it to map bacterial evolution.
Research Update Study shows how retinal cells know when to keep their distance Key molecule behind precise photoreceptor organization identified in fish.
Research Update A life devoted to science: Ulf Skoglund's quest to overcome the ‘impossible’ The Dean of Graduate School, Professor Ulf Skoglund, retires after a decade of pioneering research and service to shape the future of OIST.
Research Update A scaffold with a twist: Cryo-EM reveals the building blocks of poxvirus Researchers uncover how poxviruses form their protein scaffold from a building block called D13, which could lead to the development of new antiviral drugs.
