Proteome structuring of crown-of-thorns starfish.

The article "Proteome structuring of crown-of-thorns starfish" discusses the importance of understanding the genetic basis of the crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) to develop biocontrol methods. Scientists have sequenced the COTS genome and are using AI-based protein structure prediction systems to enhance protein annotations. The study predicts 31,743 protein structures of COTS, providing insights into its biology and potential biocontrol strategies. The research aims to deepen our understanding of COTS biology and contribute to the protection of coral reefs. [Extracted from the article]
