Occupancy models estimate a species' occupancy probability while accounting for imperfect detection, but often overlook the issue of false-positive detections. This problem of false positives has gained attention recently with the rapid advancement o...
Species delimitation in hard corals remains controversial even after 250+ years of taxonomy. Confusing taxonomy in Scleractinia is not the result of sloppy work: clear boundaries are hard to draw because most diagnostic characters are quantitative an...
An overwhelming majority of protein-protein interaction (PPI) studies are conducted in a select few model organisms largely due to constraints in time and cost of the associated 'wet lab' experiments. In silico PPI inference methods are ideal tools t...
Epigenetic modifications, particularly RNA methylation and histone alterations, play a crucial role in heredity, development, and disease. Among these, RNA 5-methylcytosine (m5C) is the most prevalent RNA modification in mammalian cells, essential fo...
The 3D structure of the genome is an important mediator of gene expression. As phenotypic divergence is largely driven by gene regulatory variation, comparing genome 3D contacts across species can further understanding of the molecular basis of speci...
A deep comparative analysis of brain functional connectome across species in primates has the potential to yield valuable insights for both scientific and clinical applications. However, the interspecies commonality and differences are inherently ent...
Pharmacokinetic data are not generally available for evaluating the toxicological potential of food chemicals. A simplified physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model has been established to evaluate internal exposures to chemicals in rats or...
Sandflies are vectors for several tropical diseases such as leishmaniasis, bartonellosis, and sandfly fever. Moreover, sandflies exhibit species-specificity in transmitting particular pathogen species, with females being responsible for disease trans...
Butterfly wing patterns exhibit notable differences between the dorsal and ventral surfaces, and morphological analyses of them have provided insights into the ecological and behavioural characteristics of wing patterns. Conventional methods for dors...
Deep learning techniques are increasingly utilized to analyze large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, offering valuable insights from complex transcriptome datasets. Geneformer, a pre-trained model using a Transformer Encoder archite...
