Screening chemicals using the zebrafish embryo developmental toxicity assay requires visual assessment of larval morphological changes based on images by experienced screeners. The process is time-consuming and prone to subjectivity. However, deep le...
Municipal wastewater substantially contributes to aquatic ecological risks. Assessing the toxicity of municipal wastewater through dose-effect curves is challenging owing to the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly nature of biological assays....
The 5' UTRs of mRNAs are critical for translation regulation during development, but their in vivo regulatory features are poorly characterized. Here, we report the regulatory landscape of 5' UTRs during early zebrafish embryogenesis using a massivel...
Water pollution poses a significant risk to the environment and human health, necessitating the development of innovative detection methods. In this study, a series of representative psychoactive compounds were selected as model pollutants, and a new...
The global health implications of fine particulate matter (PM) underscore the imperative need for research into its toxicity and chemical composition. In this study, zebrafish embryos exposed to the water-soluble components of PM from two cities (Har...
In this study, the authors compared the efficiency of automated robotic and manual injection methods for the CRISPR-RfxCas13d (CasRx) system for mRNA knockdown and Cas9-mediated DNA targeting in zebrafish embryos. They targeted the no tail () gene as...
Enhancers control gene expression and have crucial roles in development and homeostasis. However, the targeted de novo design of enhancers with tissue-specific activities has remained challenging. Here we combine deep learning and transfer learning t...
Toxicology studies heavily rely on morphometric analysis to detect abnormalities and diagnose disease processes. The emergence of ever-increasing varieties of environmental pollutants makes it difficult to perform timely assessments, especially using...
Cell segmentation plays a crucial role in understanding, diagnosing, and treating diseases. Despite the recent success of deep learning-based cell segmentation methods, it remains challenging to accurately segment densely packed cells in 3D cell memb...
There are currently 85,000 chemicals registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Toxic Substances Control Act, but only a small fraction have measured toxicological data. To address this gap, high-throughput screening (HTS) an...
