Here, we integrate small-molecule high-throughput screening with a deep-learning-based virtual screening approach to uncover new antibacterial compounds. We screen ~2 million small molecules against a sensitized Escherichia coli strain, yielding thousands of hits. We use these data to train a deep learning model, GNEprop, to predict antibacterial activity, retrospectively validating robustness with respect to out-of-distribution generalization and activity cliff prediction. Virtual screening of over 1.4 billion synthetically accessible compounds identifies potential candidates, of which 82 exhibit antibacterial activity on the same strain, illustrating a 90-fold improved hit rate over the high-throughput screening experiment used for training. Many newly identified compounds exhibit high dissimilarity to known antibiotics, potency beyond the training bacterial strain and selectivity. Biological characterization identifies specific, validated targets, indicating promising avenues for further exploration in antibiotic discovery.","PeriodicalId":19084,"journal":{"name":"Nature biotechnology","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145357634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their potential for inserting genetic cargos in eukaryotes remains largely unexplored. Here we report the discovery and engineering of highly efficient retron-based gene editors for mammalian cells and vertebrates. Through bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic data and functional screening, we identify retron reverse transcriptases that are highly active in mammalian cells. Rational design further improves the editing efficiency to levels comparable with conventional single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide donors but from a genetically encoded cassette. Retron editors exhibit robust activity with Cas12a nuclease and Cas9 nickase, expanding the genomic target scope and bypassing the need for a DNA double-stranded break. Using a rationally engineered retron editor, we incorporate a split GFP epitope tag for live-cell imaging.

We find that secondary structure in the protospacer and 3' to it inhibits Cas13 activity and quantitatively explains the former effect through a strand displacement framework. We then harness strand displacement to generate an 'occluded' Cas13, which enhances mismatch discrimination up to 50-fold and enables sequence-agnostic mutation identification at low (<1%) allele frequencies. Using occluded Cas13, we identify human-adaptive mutations in SARS-CoV-2 and human and avian influenza A viruses, as well as oncogenic mutations in KRAS.

However, traditional characterization methods, such as dynamic light scattering, cannot accurately quantify physicochemical properties of LNPs and how these are influenced by the lipid composition and mixing method. Here, we structurally characterize polydisperse LNP formulations by applying emerging solution-based biophysical methods that have higher resolution and provide biophysical data beyond size and polydispersity. These techniques include sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation, field-flow fractionation followed by multiangle light scattering and size-exclusion chromatography in line with synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering. We show that LNPs have intrinsic polydispersity in size, RNA loading and shape, which depend on both the formulation technique and the lipid composition. Lastly, we predict LNP transfection in vitro and in vivo by examining the relationship between mRNA translation and physicochemical characteristics. Solution-based biophysical methods will be essential for determining LNP structure-function relationships, facilitating the creation of new design rules for LNPs.","PeriodicalId":19084,"journal":{"name":"Nature biotechnology","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145351559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As chromosomal errors are a leading cause of miscarriage and infertility, it remains unclear whether missegregation arises postfertilization. Here we optimize nuclear DNA labeling via messenger RNA electroporation and apply light-sheet live imaging to reveal chromosome segregation errors immediately before implantation. We show that embryos at advanced preimplantation stages display missegregation, including multipolar spindle formation, lagging chromosomes, misalignment and mitotic slippage. Most lagging chromosomes are passively inherited rather than reincorporated. To trace individual nuclei, we developed an open-source, semi-automated segmentation method using a customized deep learning model optimized for variability in embryo size, shape and signal. With this approach, we find most labeled cells remain externally positioned, consistent with placental rather than inner cell mass fate. Our findings raise questions about clinical uses of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, while providing broadly applicable imaging and segmentation methods for studying diverse cellular structures in human embryos.","PeriodicalId":19084,"journal":{"name":"Nature biotechnology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145351560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
