Tuesady 3rd November 1pm room Darwin B05 at UCL Reading Biomolecular Sequences as Physical Objects: from Frameshifts to RNA-Protein InteractionsAnalysis and comparison of biomolecular sequences are among the key strategies for inferring functional and evolutionary relationships in biology. However, conventional sequence-based approaches account only indirectly for the physicochemical properties reflected in these sequences. In this talk,

King January 23, 2026 123 (4) e2406949123 https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2406949123 Significance The human topoisomerase IIIα–RMI1–RMI2 complex (TRR) is important for resolving entangled DNA structures known as ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs) during mitosis. Recent evidence suggests that this may involve the relaxation of negative

A UCL-led team has developed an AI tool to understand antibody assembly in the human body, speeding therapeutic antibody design and revealing new insights into B-cell maturation and immune responses. Researchers have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool, ImmunoMatch, that can predict which antibody components naturally pair together. This advance can significantly accelerate antibody-based drug

Prof Finn Werner has received an eight-year Wellcome Trust Discovery Award (2025-2033) to support a research program entitled A Holistic View of Gene Expression in Archaea (Figure A). This work will investigate the molecular mechanisms and structural foundations that link RNA polymerase with the pioneering ribosome (B). His laboratory’s genome-scale analyses, which relate dynamic RNA
