The need for automated and efficient systems for tracking full animal pose has increased with the complexity of behavioral data and analyses. Here we introduce LEAP (LEAP estimates animal pose), a deep-learning-based method for predicting the positio...

Postcardiac arrest syndrome yields poor neurological outcomes, but the mechanisms underlying this condition remain poorly understood. Autophagy plays an important role in neuronal apoptosis induced by ischemia. However, whether autophagy is involved ...
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...

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...
