We experimentally validate one those new restriction enzymes, showing it to be a BamHI isoschizomer, but having different methylation sensitivity.

Finally, we integrate a protein language model into Domainator to identify new restriction enzymes that are too divergent from reference sequences to be detectable by sequence searches.

Next, we identify P4-like phage satellite defense hotspots from E. coli genomes. Including identification and experimental validation of a new Lamassu system variant.

First, we examine examine effector domains of CARF proteins from CRISPR-Cas systems. Assigning putative annotations to effector domains that proved difficult to annotate in previous works.

Domainator workflows typically follow a pattern of Search, Annotate, Report and cluster, Analyze and apply. In our preprint we present three specific examples of this workflow.

Domainator consists of 30 individual command line programs that can be chained together into powerful and reproducible workflows for genome mining and gene neighborhood analysis.

Peter, Zhiyi, myself, and the rest of the team are happy to share our newest work.
Domainator, a flexible software suite for domain-based annotation and neighborhood analysis, identifies proteins involved in antiviral systems.
