What’s New on Vecura | November 2–6, 2026

In-chat file previews, requests for larger runs, easier structure downloads, and six scientific tools now available.

Welcome to What’s New on Vecura, our regular recap of recent platform improvements and scientific capabilities.

This week, Vecura makes it easier to review files without leaving Agent chat, request support for analyses beyond standard limits, and download docking structures for further work. Updates to AlphaFold 3, larger peptide batches in ToxinPred3, and five scientific tools expand the options available for computational research.

Here is what’s new from November 2 to November 6, 2026.

Agent

Preview files directly in Agent chat

Files in Agent chat can now open as tabs in the chat side panel. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, text, and PDB.

Researchers can inspect documents, tables, and structure files alongside the conversation without downloading each file first. Keeping files and discussion together makes it easier to review an output and continue asking questions about it.

Tool Runs

Request larger runs beyond standard limits

When an analysis requires inputs beyond a tool’s usual limit, users can now submit a larger-run request directly from the tool page.

This gives researchers a way to ask for support with larger analyses at the point where they configure the job.

Download the receptor and docked pose together

A download option in the structure viewer now lets researchers save the receptor and docked pose together as a single PDB file.

Keeping both components in one file makes it easier to take the docked complex into further structural inspection without manually combining separate downloads.

Configure AlphaFold 3 covalent bonds with clearer validation

AlphaFold 3 now includes an input for specifying covalent bonds. Additional checks flag invalid modifications and inconsistent sequence lengths in A3M alignments before a run is submitted.

These checks help researchers identify and correct input issues during setup, before computation begins.

Run ToxinPred3 on up to 30,000 peptides

ToxinPred3 now supports up to 30,000 peptides per request, allowing researchers to submit larger peptide batches in a single job.

Workspace

Switch between organisations and projects more easily

The navigation now includes an organisation and project switcher with recent selections and search across organisations.

Researchers working across multiple teams or projects can find the right workspace and return to recent work more easily.

Models and Tools

Five scientific tools now available

This week’s additions span regulatory genomics, CRISPR screening, spatial and single-cell analysis, and gene-expression analysis:

• Squidpy supports spatial single-cell analysis, helping researchers examine molecular measurements in their spatial context.

• MAGeCK identifies genes of interest from genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening data.

• clusterProfiler supports functional enrichment analysis to help interpret gene lists and omics results.

• Monocle 3 supports single-cell trajectory analysis to explore changes in cell states.

• limma supports differential expression analysis for microarray and RNA-seq data.

These additions give researchers more ways to investigate gene function, expression patterns, and cellular organisation within Vecura.

Supporting the next step in your research

From reviewing files in context to preparing larger analyses and exporting docked complexes, this week’s updates make it easier to move between setup, review, and further investigation.
