PhyloNaP: a user-friendly database of Phylogeny for Natural Product-producing enzymes
Phylogenetic analysis is widely used to predict enzyme function, yet building annotated and reusable trees is labor-intensive and requires extensive knowledge about the specific enzymes. Existing reso...

🚀 Excited to share that our article with @ezgikaraca.bsky.social is now published in Communications Biology!

In this study, we explored DNA readout rules of almost identical DNMT3A and DNMT3B (91% sequence similarity!), and we asked: how can nearly the same proteins “see” DNA so differently? 🧬✨
