Abstract

SummaryIntegrating protein-protein interaction experiments and genetic datasets can lead to new insight into the cellular processes implicated in diseases, but this integration is technically challenging. Here, we present Genoppi, a web application that integrates quantitative interaction proteomics data and results from genome-wide association studies or exome sequencing projects, to highlight biological relationships that might otherwise be difficult to discern. Written in R, Python and Bash script, Genoppi is a user-friendly framework easily deployed across Mac OS and Linux distributions.\n\nAvailabilityGenoppi is open source and available at https://github.com/lagelab/Genoppi\n\nContactaprilkim@broadinstitute.org and lage.kasper@mgh.harvard.edu

Single-cell foundation models transfer across deep evolutionary distances

Single-cell foundation models are trained mostly on human and other vertebrate cells, yet are proposed as general-purpose models. Whether they transfer far beyond their training species is unknown. We evaluated zero-shot embeddings from Geneformer, scGPT and UCE against PCA and scVI in developmental atlases of Dictyostelium discoideum and Caenorhabditis elegans, separated from humans by 1.2 billion and 600 million years. Without retraining, the models recovered developmental order and preserved organism-specific cell identities. UCE encodes genes by protein sequence and could use 97% of measured genes, whereas Geneformer and scGPT, after ortholog mapping, used under one-fifth. UCE performed most consistently, often exceeding species-native baselines. Restricted to ortholog-mappable genes, it still scored above vocabulary-based models on five of six annotation tasks, some narrowly. Foundation models can thus yield informative cell embeddings across more than a billion years of evolution, and protein-sequence gene representations make these embeddings more complete and often more accurate.

EMBER: Contextualized gene representations enable compositional prediction across cellular perturbations

Predicting the effects of individual and combined perturbations is central to identifying context-specific vulnerabilities and designing targeted interventions. Yet learning gene representations that integrate functional relationships with cellular state and transfer across perturbation tasks remains challenging. Here, we present EMBER, a gene-centric foundation model that learns context-dependent functional representations of genes. EMBER combines interaction-guided contrastive learning with masked expression reconstruction during pretraining on a single-cell corpus curated for diversity and balanced sampling across cell types and experimental batches. EMBER decouples gene representation learning from task-specific prediction through a composable embedding framework: the pretrained encoder remains frozen, while lightweight probes combine contextualized gene embeddings to predict individual and combined perturbation effects. The same pretrained representations support single-gene perturbation-response prediction, digenic interaction prediction, and multi-target drug-response prediction. EMBER improves cross-context perturbation-response prediction and genetic-interaction ranking relative to evaluated baselines. EMBER also prioritized SCFD1, a mediator of autophagosome-lysosome fusion, as a candidate dependency during mTOR inhibition. Together, these results establish contextualized gene embeddings as reusable building blocks for modeling genetic and pharmacological perturbations, supporting the prioritization of genetic interactions and context-specific interventions for experimental testing.

Small molecule structure elucidation from NMR spectra with generative and reasoning models

Elucidating the structures of unknown small molecules remains a major challenge in chemistry, pharmacology, and drug discovery. While nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the gold standard for structure elucidation, interpreting spectra remains labor-intensive and requires expert knowledge to navigate the vast space of possible structures. Here, we present an AI system for rapid, automated de novo structure elucidation that combines a molecular generative model with a scientific reasoning agent. Its generative component, ChefNMR2, is an atomic flow-matching model that predicts small-molecule structures from molecular formulae and one-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectra. ChefNMR2-Agent augments our generative model with large language models (LLMs) to reason over and refine candidate structures. Across diverse benchmarks, ChefNMR2 substantially outperforms existing tools, offering calibrated confidence estimates and two to three orders of magnitude faster inference than frontier LLMs. We use ChefNMR2-Agent to elucidate the structures of four novel natural products, matching human-chemist accuracy in a fraction of the time. Our work demonstrates how specialized generative models and general-purpose reasoning agents can unite to solve challenging scientific inverse problems and accelerate NMR structure elucidation, thus opening new possibilities for AI-driven small-molecule discovery across diverse disciplines.
