The paper introduces an Advanced Mobile Laboratory (AML) for field-based microbial ecology and cell biology, enabling multiscale analysis of environmental samples directly at the sampling site.

This study identifies a non-stereotypical cilia-driven folding mechanism in Trichoplax adhaerens, revealing how ciliary activity and fold dynamics interact to enable complex body shape changes.

This paper demonstrates how cellular syncytia control the growth of complex calcite ossicles through transport processes and cytoskeletal architecture.

The paper identifies recurrent repeat expansions in cancer genomes, showing their association with gene regulation and demonstrating their therapeutic targeting potential.

This paper develops a privacy-preserving genotype imputation algorithm using homomorphic encryption, achieving performance comparable to plaintext methods.

The paper quantifies privacy leakage in functional genomics data and proposes a data-sanitization protocol to reduce it while preserving utility.

FANCY estimates privacy risk in functional genomics data by predicting leaking variants from sequencing reads without explicit genotyping.

This paper develops smart contracts on Ethereum blockchain to store and query pharmacogenomics data, achieving efficient performance for gene-drug interaction data.

This paper develops a method to store and analyze genomic data on a blockchain, addressing security and integrity issues through on-chain reference-aligned reads and tools for variant calling.
