Latest AI and machine learning research in fungal infection for healthcare professionals.
Introduction: Plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) may detect pathogens in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, but optimal patient selection and result interpretation remain uncertain. Methods: Physicians reviewed SOT recipients with first-instance clinical plasma mNGS testing (Karius, Inc.) and determined consensus microbiological diagnoses, clinical impact of results, diagno...
Southern leaf blight (SLB) is a foliar disease of maize (Zea mays L.) caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Cochliobolus heterostrophus. Genetic resistance is the most effective control method for SLB. Developing disease resistant maize lines requires field trials during which disease phenotypes must be visually assessed. Remote sensing using drones is an emerging technology that can be lever...
Fine-grained semantic segmentation requires both precise localization and discrimination between visually similar classes. In FungiTastic, this proble...
Accurate gene prediction remains a major bottleneck in fungal genomics, where lineage diversity and alternative splicing challenge existing ab initio ...
