Nitrogen fertilizers are essential for crop productivity but cause environmental harm, necessitating the development of cultivars that thrive under limited nitrogen. This study investigates the transcriptomic response to nitrate in Arabidopsis thalia... read more
Recent advances in spatial transcriptomics and computational modeling enable the study of cellular interactions in situ. However, existing methods quantify ligand-receptor activity pairwise or between predefined cell groups, yielding overlapping sign... read more
Motivation: The emergence of novel viral pathogens poses critical threats to global health, yet current computational approaches for viral risk assessment are predominantly virus-specific and require extensive retraining for each new threat. Computat... read more
Machine learning-based annotation methods are increasingly used to assess the pathogenicity of genetic variants, but their performance at prioritizing variants for gene-level association testing remains poorly characterized. Here, we systematically b... read more
Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) is a major global source of sucrose. Domestication and a history of breeding have shaped the distribution of deleterious mutations across the genome. Accurately resolving these variants offers a compelling ave... read more
Advances in single-cell sequencing and CRISPR technologies have enabled detailed case-control comparisons and experimental perturbations at single-cell resolution. However, uncovering causal relationships in observational genomic data remains challen... read more
Facial displays are an important channel of communication for primates, yet it remains unclear based on which criteria monkeys evaluate facial expressions. We trained two rhesus macaques to categorize videos of four facial expression types (neutral, ... read more
mRNA coding sequence design is a critical component in the development of mRNA vaccines, nucleic acid therapeutics, and heterologous gene expression systems. While large language models have recently been successfully applied to protein design and RN... read more
Causal models of cellular systems hold the promise to empower broad biological discovery, including the systematic identification of novel targets for drug discovery. Predicting how genetic and pathway perturbations reshape gene expression across div... read more
Serotonin is one of the main neuromodulators in the brain, involved in regulating mood, complex behaviors and sensory input. Serotonin reaches primary somatosensory cortex (S1) via axons of neurons located in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). DRN neuro... read more
