Notas del episodio

In a world where fungal pathogens wreak havoc on global food production, understanding their arsenal is of paramount importance. Enter the mysterious realm of Magnaporthe oryzae, a notorious fungal attacker, with Dr. Krasileva, our esteemed guest for today's episode.

Dive deep as we navigate the vast universe of the fungal pathogen's secreted proteins. Dr. Krasileva unravels her team's ambitious efforts to predict the structures of a whopping 1,854 proteins. Harnessing the power of machine learning and the revolutionary TrRosetta, they're able to map out the intricate designs of these proteins, laying bare potential effectors and virulence factors.

But this journey isn't just about numbers and predictions. As Dr. Krasileva artfully illustrates, structure-based clustering reveals hidden secrets about these proteins, uncovering relation ...
