The Drosophila model is pivotal in deciphering the pathophysiological underpinnings of various human ailments, notably aging and cardiovascular diseases. Cutting-edge imaging techniques and physiology yield vast high-resolution videos, demanding adva...
Genes are the basic units of protein synthesis in organisms, and accurately identifying the translation initiation site (TIS) of genes is crucial for understanding the regulation, transcription, and translation processes of genes. However, the existi...
Microplastics, as a pivotal concern within plastic pollution, have sparked widespread apprehension due to their ubiquitous presence. Recent research indicates that these minuscule plastic particles may exert discernible effects on the locomotor capab...
The core promoter determines not only where gene transcription initiates but also the transcriptional activity in both basal and enhancer-induced conditions. Multiple short sequence elements within the core promoter have been identified in different ...
Flying rely on their vision to detect visual objects and adjust their flight course. Despite their robust fixation on a dark, vertical bar, our understanding of the underlying visuomotor neural circuits remains limited, in part due to difficulties i...
Peristalsis, a motion generated by the propagation of muscular contraction along the body axis, is one of the most common locomotion patterns in limbless animals. While the kinematics of peristalsis has been examined intensively, its kinetics remains...
Tiny "gnat robots," weighing just a few milligrams, were first conjectured in the 1980s. How to stabilize one if it were to hover like a small insect has not been answered. Challenges include the requirement that sensors be both low mass and high ban...
Despite extensive efforts to generate and analyze reference genomes, genetic models to predict gene regulation and cell fate decisions are lacking for most species. Here, we generated whole-body single-cell transcriptomic landscapes of zebrafish, Dro...

The high-dimensional character of most biological systems presents genuine challenges for modeling and prediction. Here we propose a neural network-based approach for dimensionality reduction and analysis of biological gene expression data, using, as...
Volumetric imaging of dynamic signals in a large, moving, and light-scattering specimen is extremely challenging, owing to the requirement on high spatiotemporal resolution and difficulty in obtaining high-contrast signals. Here we report that throug...
