AI-Driven Discovery of Nearly 1 Million New Antibiotics in the Global Microbiome

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest threats facing humanity and novel antibiotics are urgently needed. In a recent study published in Cell, our team, along with fantastic collaborators, leveraged computational techniques to accelerate the search for new antimicrobial compounds, specifically focusing on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). By employing advanced genome mining methods, we identified […]
