Abstract Undetected infection and delayed isolation of infected individuals are key factors driving the monkeypox virus (now termed mpox or MPXV) outbreak. To enable earlier detection MPXV infection, we developed an image-based deep convolutional neural network (named MPXV-CNN) for identification characteristic skin lesions caused by MPXV. We assembled a dataset 139,198 lesion images, split into training/validation testing cohorts, comprising non-MPXV images ( n = 138,522) from eight...
The immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection requires antibody recognition of the spike protein. In a study designed examine molecular features anti-spike and anti-nucleocapsid antibodies, patient plasma proteins binding pre-fusion stabilised complete nucleocapsid were isolated analysed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation-time flight (MALDI-ToF) mass spectrometry. Amongst immunoglobulins, high affinity for human serum albumin was evident in preparations. Careful comparison revealed...
Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the brain exhibit high dimensionality that pose significant challenges for computational analysis. While models proposed MRIs analyses yield encouraging results, complexity neuroimaging data hinders generalizability and clinical application. We introduce DUNE, a neuroimaging-oriented encoder designed to extract deep-features from multisequence MRIs, thereby enabling their processing by basic machine learning algorithms. A UNet-based autoencoder was trained...
Abstract Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (CLIP) is a powerful technique to obtain transcriptome-wide maps of in vivo protein-RNA interactions, which are important understand the post-transcriptional mechanisms mediated by RNA binding proteins (RBPs). Many variant CLIP protocols have been developed improve efficiency convenience cDNA library preparation. Here we describe an improved individual nucleotide resolution protocol (iiCLIP), can be completed within 4 days from UV crosslinking...
The involvement of immunoglobulin (Ig) G3 in the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection has been implicated pathogenesis acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) COVID-19. exact molecular mechanism is unknown, but it thought involve this IgG subtype's differential ability fix, complement and stimulate cytokine release. We examined binding convalescent patient antibodies immobilized nucleocapsids spike proteins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time flight (MALDI-ToF)...
Abstract Genomic methods have been valuable for identifying RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and the genes, pathways, processes they regulate. Nevertheless, standard motif descriptions cannot be used to predict all RNA targets or test quantitative models cellular interactions regulation. We present a complete thermodynamic model binding S. cerevisiae Pumilio protein PUF4 derived from direct data 6180 RNAs measured using on massively parallel array (RNA-MaP) platform.

The relationship between DNA sequence, biochemical function, and molecular evolution is relatively well-described for protein-coding regions of genomes, but far less clear in noncoding regions, particularly, eukaryote genomes. In part, this because we lack a complete description the essential elements genome. To contribute to challenge, used saturating transposon mutagenesis interrogate Schizosaccharomyces pombe We generated 31 million insertions, theoretical coverage 2.4 insertions per...
Through technological innovations, patient cohorts can be examined from multiple views with high-dimensional, multiscale biomedical data to classify clinical phenotypes and predict outcomes. Here, we aim present our approach for analyzing multimodal using unsupervised supervised sparse linear methods in a COVID-19 cohort. This prospective cohort study of 149 adult patients was conducted tertiary care academic center. First, used canonical correlation analysis (CCA) identify quantify...
Abstract With an estimated 3 billion people globally lacking access to dermatological care, technological solutions leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) have been proposed improve 1 . Diagnostic AI algorithms, however, require high-quality datasets allow development and testing, particularly those that enable evaluation of both unimodal multimodal approaches. Currently, the majority dermatology algorithms are built tested on proprietary, siloed data, often from a single site with only...
ABSTRACT Background Non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a global health challenge, driving morbidity and mortality. The emerging field of radiogenomics utilizes statistical methods to correlate radiographic tumor features with genomic characteristics from biopsy samples. Radiomic techniques automate the precise extraction imaging regions in scans, which are subjected machine learning (ML) predict attributes. Methods In retrospective study two NSCLC patient cohorts separated by 5...
