The genes that are required for organismal survival are annotated as 'essential genes'. Identifying all the essential genes of an animal species can reveal critical functions that are needed during the development of the organism. To inform studies o...

Irrespective of initial causes of neurological diseases, these disorders usually exhibit two key pathological changes-axonal loss or demyelination or a mixture of the two. Therefore, vigorous quantification of myelin and axons is essential in studyin...

Even though convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been used for cell segmentation, they require pixel-level ground truth annotations. This paper proposes a multitask learning algorithm for cell detection and segmentation using CNNs. We use dot ann...
BACKGROUND: Biological interpretation of gene/protein lists resulting from -omics experiments can be a complex task. A common approach consists of reviewing Gene Ontology (GO) annotations for entries in such lists and searching for enrichment pattern...
BACKGROUND: The Allen Mouse Brain Atlas allows study of the brain's molecular anatomy at cellular scale, for thousands genes. To fully leverage this resource, one must register histological images of brain tissue - a task made challenging by the brai...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Liquorice is the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, which is a popular food in Europe and China that has previously shown benefits for skeletal fatigue and nutrient metabolism. However, the mechanism and active ingredients remain lar...

Among many pneumococcal antigens, choline-binding proteins (CPBs) display a high immunogenicity in animal models. This study aims to determine the immunogenicity of CbpM, CbpG and CbpL proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae in a mice model. The genes w...

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO-NPs) are widely used in the cosmetics, health, and food industries, but their safety and genotoxicity remain a matter of debate. We investigated whether TiO-NPs could induce gene mutations in mouse lymphoma L5178Y ...
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can exert their function by interacting with the DNA via triplex structure formation. Even though this has been validated with a handful of experiments, a genome-wide analysis of lncRNA-DNA binding is needed. In this pap...
Cross-species differences form barriers to translational research that ultimately hinder the success of clinical trials, yet knowledge of species differences has yet to be systematically incorporated in the interpretation of animal models. Here we pr...
