Genomic foundation models have emerged alongside the rapid progress of large language models, offering a promising framework for learning general-purpose sequence priors for DNA understanding, generation, and design. This connection to LLMs creates a...
Tissue-specific chromatin states shape regional mutation density in primary tumors, but whether this relationship persists in metastases is unclear. We integrated whole-genome sequencing data from 2,507 metastatic tumors across six cancer types with ...
While the expansion of spatial omics has revolutionized our ability to dissect tissue architecture, the accumulation of incompatible computational methods has heavily fragmented end-to-end analysis, rendering complex workflows irreproducible. Generic...
Tuberculosis remains a leading cause of infectious disease mortality, and the continued emergence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains threatens the effectiveness of standard treatment regimens. Culture-based antibiotic susceptibility...
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotags provide highly sensitive platforms for in vitro diagnostics but often require complex, disease-specific customization that limits clinical translation. Biomineralization, in which biomolecules mediate...
Background Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major public health burden, causing seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics. Its transmission from avian species to mammals and subsequent spread requires adaptive changes in the viral genome. Understanding...
Reliable early warning of infectious disease outbreaks remains a major challenge for surveillance systems, particularly for vector-borne pathogens whose transmission depends on interactions among hosts, vectors, and climate-sensitive environmental co...
Human-associated microbial genomes encode extensive strain-level diversity and niche-specific gene repertoires that are critical to host health. However, these complex sequence features remain difficult to capture using general-purpose DNA foundation...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the movement of genetic material between unrelated organisms, is widely recognized as an important driver of genome evolution in bacteria. In eukaryotes, however, the evolutionary impact of HGT remains debated. The ide...
While single neuron responses in mouse V1 are well characterized, less is known about how functional ensembles--groups of neurons that co-activate more frequently than expected by chance--emerge as computational units within laminar V1 circuits. Even...
