Hybrid CNN and Multi-Head Attention Model for Analyzing Epigenetic Mechanisms and Gene Expression Across Fungal Phylogenetic Distances

This paper introduces a deep learning model, MAPLE, to predict gene expression from epigenetic data across fungal species, achieving strong cross-species performance.

A population-level statistic for assessing Mendelian behavior of genotyping-by-sequencing data from highly duplicated genomes

The paper introduces a statistic to filter paralogs in genotyping-by-sequencing data from duplicated genomes, enabling efficient locus filtering before genotype calling.
