Automated C. elegans behavior analysis via deep learning-based detection and tracking

As a well-established and extensively utilized model organism, C. elegans serves as a crucial platform for investigating behavioral regulation mechanisms and their biological significance. However, manually tracking the locomotor behavior of large numbers of C. elegans is both cumbersome and inefficient. The authors propose an automated approach for analyzing C. elegans behavior through deep learning-based tracking.

miRScore: A rapid and precise microRNA validation tool

Genome-wide scans using small RNA-seq data often yield high rates of false-positive MIRNA annotations, highlighting the need for more robust validation methods. miRScore was developed as an independent and efficient tool for evaluating new MIRNA annotations using sRNA-seq data.

Data-driven identification of biological systems using multi-scale analysis

Biological systems often evolve across multiple time scales, posing major challenges for constructing accurate models directly from data. Traditional model reduction techniques require explicit equations and thus cannot be applied when only observational data are available.

A curriculum learning approach to training antibody language models

There is growing interest in pre-training antibody language models (AbLMs) with a mixture of unpaired and natively paired sequences, seeking to combine the proven benefits of training with natively paired sequences with the massive scale of unpaired antibody sequence datasets.
