Structome-AlignViewer: On Confidence Assessment in Structure-Aware Alignments Abstract. Protein structure-based comparison provides a framework for uncovering deep evolutionary relationships that can escape conventional sequence-base

An interesting way to look at encoded structural characters to build alignments and trees downstream. This takes structural phylogenetics one step further in the post-AlphaFold era.

Structure-informed phylogenetic inference with FoldTree outperforms sequence-only trees on divergent proteins, and untangles RRNPPA quorum-sensing receptors across Gram-positive bacteria & phages. Work led by David Moi (www.linkedin.com/in/david-moi) Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Structural phylogenetics unravels the evolutionary diversification of communication systems in gram-positive bacteria and their viruses - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Using a new method called FoldTree, the authors compare proteins on the basis of their shape to construct more accurate family trees over long evolutionary timescales and capture distant relationships...

Viral protein sequences are highly variable, but structures are much more conserved.
In this paper, David Moi et al. present a highly accurate method to infer phylogenetic trees from 3D protein structures — opening new ways to explore viral evolution and protein function.

Structural phylogenetics is poised to reshape our understanding of molecular evolution. While the availability of structural data has exploded, its integration into evolutionary analysis has yet to reach its full potential. This meeting provides a timely forum to explore this frontier.
