We report here an iterative synthesis of long helical perylene diimide () nanoribbons with a length up to 16 fused benzene rings. These contorted, ladder-type conjugated, and atomically precise nanoribbons show great potential as organic fast-charging and long-lifetime battery cathodes. By tuning the length of the oligomers, we can simultaneously modulate the electrical conductivity and ionic diffusivity of the material. The length of the ladders adjusts both the conjugation for electron transport and the contortion for lithium-ion transport. The longest oligomer, , when fabricated as the cathode in lithium batteries, features both high electrical conductivity and high ionic diffusivity. This electrode material exhibits a high power density and can be charged in less than 1 min to 66% of its maximum capacity. Remarkably, this material also has exceptional cycling stability and can operate for up to 10,000 charging-discharging cycles without any appreciable capacity decay. The design principles described here chart a clear path for organic battery electrodes that are sustainable, fast-charging, and long lasting.

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is an important driver of transcriptome diversity that generates messenger RNA isoforms with distinct 3' ends. The rapid development of single-cell and spatial transcriptomic technologies opened up new opportunities for exploring APA data to discover hidden cell subpopulations invisible in conventional gene expression analysis. However, conventional gene-level analysis tools are not fully applicable to APA data, and commonly used unsupervised dimensionality reduction methods often disregard experimentally derived annotations such as cell type identities.

Recently, we developed a spatial phage-assisted continuous evolution (SPACE) system. This system utilizes chemotaxis coupled with the growth of motile bacteria during their spatial range expansion in soft agar to provide fresh host cells for iterative phage infection and selection pressure for preserving evolved genes of interest carried by phage mutants. Controllable mutagenesis activated only in a subpopulation of the migrating cells is essential in this system to efficiently generate mutated progeny phages from which desired individuals are selected during the directed evolution process.

Understanding drug-target interactions is crucial for identifying novel lead compounds, enhancing efficacy, and reducing toxicity. Phenotype-based approaches, like analyzing drug-induced gene expression changes, have shown effectiveness in drug discovery and precision medicine. However, experimentally determining gene expression for all relevant chemicals is impractical, limiting large-scale gene expression-based screening.

Background: The biosynthesis of the natural product family of the polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs) employs an uncommon iterative polyketide synthase/non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (iPKS/NRPS). This machinery produces a universal PoTeM biosynthetic precursor that contains a tetramic acid moiety connected to two unsaturated polyene side chains. The enormous structural and hence functional diversity of PoTeMs is enabled by pathway-specific tailoring enzymes, particularly cyclization-catalyzing oxidases that process the polyene chains to form distinct ring systems, and further modifying enzymes.
