Cornell researchers build tools to control genes in gut bacteria
50+ min ago (252+ words) Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have developed molecular tools that can switch specific genes in common intestinal bacteria on or off, a step they say could clarify how the microbes affect health and disease. The work, published Aug. 25 in Nature Biotechnology,…...
Antibiotic resistance directly kills more than a million people annually, while antibiotic discovery has stagnated. In 2025, a Penn AI screened 40.6 million peptide sequences generated from venom proteins in only hours, shortlisted 386 unusually novel candidates and successfully predicted antibacterial activity in 53 of the 58 subsequently tested in the laboratory.
2+ hour, 35+ min ago (1139+ words) Penn’s APEX model reduced 40.6 million generated venom-protein fragments to a novel shortlist. Laboratory tests validated 53 of 58 selected peptides, while toxicity and translation remain open problems.
