Struct-Caliper improves protein structure search reliability by providing accurate p-values, increasing homolog recovery and reducing false discoveries compared to native E-values.

The paper investigates how visual gene expression changes in green chromides under different light environments and how these changes relate to stable conspecific preferences.

This study examines how loneliness affects neural synchrony during social and nonsocial tasks, finding idiosyncratic responses in lonely individuals and greater synchrony in specific brain regions.

The paper identifies conserved gene expression patterns in the retina of Anolis sagrei that suggest shared developmental mechanisms for forming multiple high acuity areas.

Roost compiles avian influenza host genomics data and links species, genes, and mechanisms to evidence, highlighting gaps in research coverage.

This study investigates visual opsin evolution in turtles using transcriptomic and genomic data from 59 species, revealing conserved sequences and habitat-driven selective pressures.

The paper decodes protein N-glycosylation sites from protein language model embeddings using a zero-shot framework, revealing biological insights and disease associations.

This paper develops a tunable auxin-based trans-kingdom signaling system that enables cross-species communication by engineering auxin biosynthesis and response mechanisms in different organisms.

This study provides direct evidence of transient binding between α-synuclein C-terminus and synaptobrevin-2 using NMR and other biophysical methods, suggesting a role in neuronal exocytosis.

KDRD estimates replicability of associations using summary statistics from a single study, showing moderate to high replicability for 33 of 45 brain-related traits in proteomics analyses.

The paper develops NLM-CKN, a semantic knowledge network linking cell phenotypes to diseases and drugs using integrated data from 88 datasets.

This study engineers Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce polyphosphate more efficiently by modifying metabolic pathways and growth conditions.

This study evaluates the test-retest reliability of evoked EEG responses during HFS-induced pain and finds poor-to-moderate reliability, with some features showing associations with individual differences in hyperalgesia development.

CloneVI infers clonal structure from cell states in single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data, linking mitochondrial DNA mutations to specific cell states.

CryoID2 uses deep learning and sequence analysis to identify proteins and RNA from cryoEM maps, achieving high accuracy in molecular identification.

This paper develops a live bacterial system to reduce nicotine levels in blood and brain by enzymatic degradation in the gut, showing potential for non-systemic treatment of nicotine addiction.

This study identifies mechanotransduction pathways involved in chicken tendon development and shows how paralysis disrupts these processes.

This study examines how reduced watering affects hops growth and rhizospheric microbial communities across five cultivars, finding differential plant responses and consistent microbial associations with cultivar type.

The paper identifies distinct electrophysiological patterns in interdigitated default and frontoparietal networks using EEG-fMRI data.
