GPBench provides a standardized benchmark framework for genomic prediction, evaluating 21 models across 16 species and offering tools for analysis and comparison.

The paper examines how food and water intake patterns in rats change under light phase restrictions, finding that food access timing more strongly influences water intake than water access timing influences food intake.

The paper shows stochastic RNA repair in E. coli leads to phenotypic heterogeneity and state switching in antibiotic responses.

The paper identifies PICJIs as large mobile genetic elements in E. coli and Salmonella that spread antimicrobial resistance and defense systems via a specific bacteriophage.

MicrobeRT is a framework of fine-tuned language models for metagenomic analysis, achieving strong performance in taxonomic classification, antibiotic resistance detection, and pathogenicity assessment.

This study identifies age-acquired enhancers in mouse hearts and shows that exercise can reverse their activation.

This paper introduces a new two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging technique for rapid volumetric imaging of biological samples with high resolution and low phototoxicity.

This study shows that intestinal epithelial stem cell secretome improves gut repair and cognitive outcomes after stroke in male rats but not in female rats, highlighting the need for sex-specific therapies.

COSMOS integrates vector-pathogen metagenomics to monitor mosquito-borne diseases, detecting pathogens and mosquito communities in field samples with high accuracy.

This study identifies genetic polymorphisms in NKG2C, CD16a, and HLA-E that influence NKG2C expression and ADCC capacity in HCMV-infected individuals.

The paper introduces a DNA-first framework to detect genomic architectures by analyzing raw DNA sequences, identifying potential RNA-to-DNA systems without prior protein knowledge.

This study investigates how awareness and task relevance modulate mismatch responses to spoken words, finding that word-related MMN and P3 are only elicited when words are task-relevant and that attention is required for word MMRs.

NBDC Data Tools automate dataset preparation from ABCD and HBCD releases, enabling reproducible and reusable analysis workflows in R and Python.

This study shows that postnatal Cajal-Retzius cells are crucial for stabilizing hippocampal spatial representations and adaptive behavior.

This study uses sedaDNA metabarcoding to analyze historical within-species sequence variation across multiple taxa and time periods.

The paper highlights the lack of standardized genomic metadata in plant and metazoan genome assemblies and proposes making ploidy, cultivar, and subgenome structure mandatory metadata fields.

This paper demonstrates how alpha-amylase hydrolyzes starch to generate reducing sugars, causing osmotic stress that remodels giant unilamellar vesicles.

The paper constructs genome-scale metabolic models for soil bacteria to identify phylogenetically conserved fermentation traits and their metabolic fluxes.

This study shows KDM6A is enzymatically active at the Golgi apparatus and is necessary for maintaining its morphology, independent of its nuclear function.

This paper develops a machine learning model using serum biomarkers to predict early Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant sheep, achieving high accuracy and sensitivity for early diagnosis.
