AI Tools Map Protein Phase Separation Across the Tree of Life
Researchers have developed artificial intelligence tools to map protein phase separation across a wide range of species, spanning the tree of life. Protein phase separation, the process by which proteins condense into droplets inside cells, plays a role in cellular organization and has been linked to diseases such as neurodegeneration. Applying AI at this evolutionary scale could help biologists understand how the phenomenon varies across organisms and what that reveals about cell biology and disease.
Why now: AI applied to a fundamental cell biology question across many species is a notable scientific advance.
