Prediction of a compound’s toxicity is a key step toward realizing animal-free testing of chemical compounds. Recent advances have yielded significant progress in computational toxicity prediction, including machine learning methods that utilize chem...
The hippocampus plays a central role in encoding abstract conceptual and semantic information. However, little is known about the topography of that encoding. We leveraged the rare opportunity to examine neural responses densely along a small portion...
Accurate segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) in cardiac CT images is crucial for assessing ventricular function and diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. Creating a sufficiently large training set with accurate manual labels of LV can be cumbersome...
Deep neural networks can be trained to predict gene expression directly from genomic sequence, thereby implicitly learning regulatory sequence patterns from scratch, minimizing the bias imposed by prior assumptions. A challenging, yet promising prosp...
Controlling actions in dynamically changing environments requires flexible and efficient motor control. A fundamental challenge in neuroscience is to uncover how cortical circuits generate, adjust, and sometimes suppress planned movements. To address...
Genomic functions arise from nucleotide sequences and their overlapping k-mers – subsequences whose contributions depend on their composition, position and associations. Understanding these contributions requires computing a k-mer contribution functi...
Under starvation, Myxococcus xanthus bacteria initiate a multicellular developmental program in which cells move to form fruiting bodies and differentiate into distinct cell types. Many genes affecting this process have been identified, and it is ass...
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic condition that results in dysmotile cilia and abnormal mucociliary clearance. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis of PCD, diagnosis continues to be challenging. Here we used feature-based m...
Complex spikes (CSs) in cerebellar Purkinje cells convey unique signals complementary to Simple spike (SS) action potentials, but are infrequent and variable in waveform. Their variability and low spike counts, combined with recording artifacts such ...
The widths of kidney glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and podocyte foot processes (FP) are essential ultrastructural markers for assessing kidney function and diagnosing glomerular disease. FP widening reflects podocyte injury, whereas GBM thickeni...
