This study identifies pharyngeal mechanosensory neurons in Drosophila that regulate food swallowing by coordinating cibarium filling and emptying through mechanotransduction channels.

APIR aggregates database search algorithms for proteomics to increase peptide identification while controlling FDR, outperforming individual methods on standard and real data.

ClusterDE identifies reliable markers and validates clusters in omics data by controlling false discovery rates through synthetic control, improving accuracy in single-cell, spatial, and bulk transcriptomics.

scPNMF selects informative genes from scRNA-seq data to improve cell type distinction and enable alignment with targeted gene profiling data.

An ensemble of six imputation methods, built through the NCI-CPTAC Proteogenomics DREAM Challenge, fills missing values in labeled LC-MS/MS proteomics data, helping most for low-abundance proteins.
