Effects of input image size on the accuracy of fish identification using deep learning.

This study evaluates how varying input image sizes affects fish species identification accuracy using deep learning, finding that larger images improve accuracy, especially for underperforming species.

The membrane curvature inducing REEP1 proteins generate a novel ER-derived vesicular compartment

This study identifies REEP1 proteins as forming a novel ER-derived vesicular compartment and shows that mutations affecting their curvature-inducing activity lead to relocalization to the bulk ER.

Length estimation of fish detected as non-occluded using a smartphone application and deep learning techniques

This paper proposes a deep learning method to estimate fish length from images using a smartphone app, achieving less than 3% bias across five species.

Membrane curvature-generating proteins crucial for autophagosome formation

This study identifies REEP1 proteins as essential for autophagosome formation by stabilizing the high curvature of the phagophore rim.

Identification, expression, and purification of DNA cytosine 5-methyltransferases with short recognition sequences

The paper identifies and characterizes DNA cytosine 5-methyltransferases with short recognition sequences that do not overlap with CG dinucleotides, enabling fine epigenetic mapping.

Chlamydomonas State Transition Is Quiet Around Pyrenoid and Independent from Thylakoid Deformation

The paper investigates state transition in Chlamydomonas, finding reduced ST activity near the pyrenoid and structural changes independent of LHCII phosphorylation.

KDM2B promotes cell viability by enhancing DNA damage response in canine hemangiosarcoma

This study shows KDM2B promotes canine hemangiosarcoma cell viability by enhancing DNA damage response and suggests GSK-J4 as a potential therapeutic alternative.

Identification of novel avian and mammalian deltaviruses provides new insights into deltavirus evolution

This study identifies novel deltaviruses in birds and mammals, revealing evolutionary relationships and transmission dynamics of deltaviruses.

Mechanism and inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 PLpro

This study investigates SARS-CoV-2 PLpro's mechanism and identifies non-covalent inhibitors with antiviral activity.

Estimating maximum sustainable yield of snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) off Tohoku Japan via a state-space assessment model with time-varying natural mortality

The paper estimates the maximum sustainable yield of snow crab using a state-space model, finding that natural mortality and terminal molting probabilities have increased over time, affecting MSY estimates.

Evaluating chromatin accessibility differences across multiple primate species using a joint modelling approach

The paper develops a joint modeling approach to identify chromatin accessibility differences across primate species and finds distinct classes of DHS sites with varying conservation and regulatory features.
