Improving Metagenomics Classification with Kmask: Entropy-Based Masking of Low-Complexity Regions

Yuchen Ge, Edward Li, Harun Mustafa, Ales Varabyou, Steven L. Salzberg

Kmask reduces misclassifications in metagenomics by masking low-complexity regions, improving accuracy in bacterial, archaeal, viral, and fungal classification.

Cellular heterogeneity in the developing forebrain masks transcriptional outcomes and principles of Evf2 enhancer lncRNA-Dlx5/6UCE-gene guidance

Edward Li, Abhijit Chakraborty, Sara Kohtz, Ivelisse Cajigas, Fion Shiau, Robert J. Vassar, Brian S. Clark, Jhumku D. Kohtz

The paper uses single-cell transcriptomics to show Evf2 lncRNA guides Dlx5/6UCE to many enhancer-gene guidance sites, with subpopulation-specific effects and long-range gene regulation.
