A multi-layer encoder prediction model for individual sample specific gene combination effect (MLEC-iGeneCombo)
Using data from gene combination double knockout CDKO experiments top ranked synthetic lethal SL gene pairs were highly inconsistent among different SL scores This leads to a significant concern that SL prediction models
Genomic profiling and experimental validation of type VI secretion system-associated proteins in Klebsiella
Klebsiella is widely distributed in nature and recognized for its dual role as a human commensal and an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing severe infections Among its key virulence mechanisms
Immune signatures of SARS-CoV-2 infection resolution in human lung tissues
While human autopsy samples have provided insights into pulmonary immune mechanisms associated with severe viral respiratory diseases the mechanisms that contribute to a clinically favorable resolution of viral respiratory infections
Assessing variant effect predictors and disease mechanisms in intrinsically disordered proteins
Intrinsically disordered regions IDRs are central to diverse cellular processes but present unique challenges for interpreting genetic variants implicated in human disease Unlike structured protein domains IDRs lack stable threedimensional
Detecting latent interaction effects when analyzing binary traits
In genomewide association studies GWAS it is often desirable to test for interactions such as geneenvironment G x E or genegene G x G interactions between singlenucleotide polymorphisms SNPs Gs and environmental variables
Rapid emergence of non-autonomous elements may stop P-element invasions in the absence of a piRNA-based host defence
Transposable element TE invasions pose risks to both the TE and the host All copies of a TE may be lost via genetic drift or host populations may suffer fitness declines potentially leading to extinction By monitoring
Analysis of (p)ppGpp metabolism and signaling using a dynamic luminescent reporter
As rapidly growing bacteria begin to exhaust nutrients their growth rate slows ultimately leading to the nonreplicative state of quiescence Adaptation to nutrient limitation requires widespread metabolic remodeling
A novel expectation-maximization approach to infer general diploid selection from time-series genetic data
Detecting and quantifying the strength of selection is a major objective in population genetics Since selection acts over multiple generations many approaches have been developed to detect and quantify selection using genetic
Gene dosage and protein valency impact phase separation and fungal cell fate
Cell fate decisions in eukaryotes are regulated by interconnected networks of transcription factors TFs that drive heritable changes in identity However much is unknown about how TFs act together to control cell fate
Identification of risk factors and development of a predictive model in patients using cefmetazole for international normalized ratio elevation
Patient risk factors related to coagulopathy and bleeding when using cefmetazole CMZ have not yet been identified and no models exist to predict side effects during
