Prediction of miRNA-disease associations based on PCA and cascade forest

As a key non-coding RNA molecule, miRNA profoundly affects gene expression regulation and connects to the pathological processes of several kinds of human diseases. However, conventional experimental methods...

Piikun: an information theoretic toolkit for analysis and visualization of species delimitation metric space

Existing software for comparison of species delimitation models do not provide a (true) metric or distance functions between species delimitation models, nor a way to compare these models in terms of relative...

Informeasure: an R/bioconductor package for quantifying nonlinear dependence between variables in biological networks from an information theory perspective

Using information measures to infer biological regulatory networks can capture nonlinear relationships between variables. However, it is computationally challenging, and there is a lack of convenient...

MinLinMo: a minimalist approach to variable selection and linear model prediction

Generating prediction models from high dimensional data often result in large models with many predictors. Causal inference for such models can therefore be difficult or even impossible in practice. The...

Evaluating Genome Sequencing for ECMO Patients in the NICU

Newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) often face severe, life-threatening conditions. For some, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation...

Integrative analysis of the 3D genome and epigenome in mouse embryonic tissues

The authors here show that chromatin interactions during mouse fetal development are spatiotemporally dynamic. Integrating interactomes with other datasets predicts target genes for candidate enhancers and helps interpret noncoding risk variants in the human genome.

African ancestry neurodegeneration risk variant disrupts an intronic branchpoint in GBA1

Here, the authors describe a noncoding genetic variant in GBA1 specific to people of African ancestry that increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases by interfering with the splicing of mRNA, resulting in lowered protein levels and activity.

Structural insights into context-dependent inhibitory mechanisms of chloramphenicol in cells

Xue et al. visualize how the antibiotic chloramphenicol reshapes the translation landscape and induces ribosome collision in bacterial cells, illuminating its context-dependent action across atomic, molecular and cellular scales.

Study Links Brain Mechanism to Emotional Responses in Animals and Humans

A recent study has uncovered a brain mechanism that shapes how animals—and potentially humans—respond empathetically to others' emotions. The...
