AbstractMotivationGenome sequencing technologies reveal a huge amount of genomic sequences. Neural network-based methods can be prime candidates for retrieving insights from these sequences because of their applicability to large and diverse datasets. However, the highly variable lengths of genome sequences severely impair the presentation of sequences...
AbstractMotivationSpatial transcriptomics has greatly contributed to our understanding of spatial and intra-sample heterogeneity, which could be crucial for deciphering the molecular basis of human diseases. Intra-tumor heterogeneity, e.g. may be associated with cancer treatment responses. However, the lack of computational tools for exploiting cross-regional...
AbstractMotivationSubstrings of length k, commonly referred to as k-mers, play a vital role in sequence analysis. However, k-mers are limited to exact matches between sequences leading to alternative constructs. We recently introduced a class of new constructs, strobemers, that can match across substitutions and smaller insertions and deletions. Randstrobes,...
AbstractMotivationThe crisis of antibiotic resistance, which causes antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections to become less effective, has emerged as one of the foremost challenges to public health. Identifying the properties of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is an essential way to mitigate this issue. Although numerous methods have been proposed...
AbstractSummarySegmentation of neural somata is a crucial and usually the most time-consuming step in the analysis of optical functional imaging of neuronal microcircuits. In recent years, multiple auto-segmentation tools have been developed to improve the speed and consistency of the segmentation process, mostly, using deep learning approaches. Current...
AbstractMotivationResearch is improving our understanding of how the microbiome interacts with the human body and its impact on human health. Existing machine learning methods have shown great potential in discriminating healthy from diseased microbiome states. However, Machine Learning based prediction using microbiome data has challenges such as,...
