Enhancing cryo-EM structure prediction with DeepTracer and AlphaFold2 integration.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Understanding the protein structures is invaluable in various biomedical applications, such as vaccine development. Protein structure model building from experimental electron density maps is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. To address the ...

Inferring Historical Introgression with Deep Learning.

Systematic biology
Resolving phylogenetic relationships among taxa remains a challenge in the era of big data due to the presence of genetic admixture in a wide range of organisms. Rapidly developing sequencing technologies and statistical tests enable evolutionary rel...

Evolving Modularity in Soft Robots Through an Embodied and Self-Organizing Neural Controller.

Artificial life
Modularity is a desirable property for embodied agents, as it could foster their suitability to different domains by disassembling them into transferable modules that can be reassembled differently. We focus on a class of embodied agents known as vox...

How the History of Changing Environments Affects Traits of Evolvable Robot Populations.

Artificial life
The environment is one of the key factors in the emergence of intelligent creatures, but it has received little attention within the Evolutionary Robotics literature. This article investigates the effects of changing environments on morphological and...

Evolving Multimodal Robot Behavior via Many Stepping Stones with the Combinatorial Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm.

Evolutionary computation
An important challenge in reinforcement learning is to solve multimodal problems, where agents have to act in qualitatively different ways depending on the circumstances. Because multimodal problems are often too difficult to solve directly, it is of...

How signals interact in multimodal displays: Insights from a robotic frog.

The Journal of animal ecology
Caldart, M. V., M. B. dos Santos & G. Machado (2021). Function of a multimodal signal: a multiple hypothesis test using a robot frog Journal of Animal Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13620. Animals can communicate using signals perceived b...

mCNN-ETC: identifying electron transporters and their functional families by using multiple windows scanning techniques in convolutional neural networks with evolutionary information of protein sequences.

Briefings in bioinformatics
In the past decade, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been used as powerful tools by scientists to solve visual data tasks. However, many efforts of convolutional neural networks in solving protein function prediction and extracting useful in...

Evolutionary artificial intelligence algorithms for the one-way road orientation planning problem with multiple venues: An example of evacuation planning in Taiwan.

Science progress
INTRODUCTION: In large-scale events such as concerts and sports competitions, participants often leave the venue at the same time to return to their respective destinations. Improper traffic planning and traffic light operation usually lead to traffi...

Predictive Models of Genetic Redundancy in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Molecular biology and evolution
Genetic redundancy refers to a situation where an individual with a loss-of-function mutation in one gene (single mutant) does not show an apparent phenotype until one or more paralogs are also knocked out (double/higher-order mutant). Previous studi...

CATH functional families predict functional sites in proteins.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Identification of functional sites in proteins is essential for functional characterization, variant interpretation and drug design. Several methods are available for predicting either a generic functional site, or specific types of funct...
