Machine Learning‐Assisted Prediction and Generation of Antimicrobial Peptides

Small Science, EarlyView.
A machine learning‐based in silico predictive and generative model is developed to engineer highly effective antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) for combating multidrug‐resistant pathogens. An iterative algorithm involving peptide generation, scoring, and motif identification produces AMPs with high theoretical scores.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.
