LinearRaccess: linear-time approximation of RNA accessibility without base-pair span limits

LinearRaccess computes RNA accessibility for long windows in linear time without base-pair span limits, achieving high accuracy and efficiency.

Walking delays auditory processing in humans alongside a global shift in aperiodic neural activity

Interspecific social contacts spread gut microbiota in wild rodent communities

This study shows that social interactions between different rodent species can spread gut microbiota, with stronger transmission from wood mice to yellow-necked mice.

Elevated precontractile calcium set point is sustained by limited PMCA1 export in dystrophic muscle

The paper shows that dystrophic muscle has an elevated precontractile calcium set point sustained by limited PMCA1 export in C. elegans and human myoblasts.

Development of a Pan-Proteome Multi-Epitope Vaccine Candidate Against Nipah Virus Using Reverse Vaccinology and Immunoinformatics Approaches

This paper designs a multi-epitope vaccine candidate against Nipah virus using immunoinformatics and reverse vaccinology, identifying VC033_V6_BD_L03 as a lead candidate with high global and regional population coverage.

Microscale nonrandomness revisited: An overlooked predictor of ecological change

The paper introduces a framework using microscale nonrandomness to predict short-term ecological changes across diverse systems, showing improved predictive performance compared to macroscale variables.

Commensal Engineered Living Materials for Sustained Secretome Delivery and Wound Healing

This paper develops a commensal Engineered Living Material (cELM) that encapsulates bacteria to deliver a pro-healing secretome for chronic wound healing.

Disparities in avian genomic resources highlight gaps across the Global South

The paper evaluates avian genome assemblies across geography and taxonomy, revealing underrepresentation of species in the Global South.

A three-factor model can explain symmetry breaking and the n-1 rule during X-chromosome inactivation

This paper introduces a three-factor mathematical model to explain symmetry breaking and the n-1 rule in X-chromosome inactivation by integrating Xist, an X-linked activator, and SPEN.

Do divergent mitochondrial backgrounds alter the fate of nuclear alleles during hybridization and admixture?

The paper tests if mitochondrial backgrounds influence nuclear allele fate during hybridization, finding no evidence of such effects despite expected incompatibilities.

Developmental interactions between oscillatory and spontaneous neural activity support improvements in inhibitory control from adolescence into adulthood

This study examines how developmental changes in oscillatory and spontaneous neural activity support improved inhibitory control from adolescence to adulthood using EEG data.

Individual differences reveal shared computational structure in perceptual decision-making

The paper uses population-level individual differences to discover shared computational components in perceptual decision-making, revealing a six-dimensional structure across datasets.

Multimodal cellular context enables molecular phenotyping from single-molecule trajectories

The paper introduces MIST, a framework that integrates single-molecule trajectory data with cellular context to improve molecular phenotyping in E. coli.

Real-time detection of N2 and N3 sleep from scalp and intracranial EEG

This paper develops a real-time sleep stage classifier for N2 and N3 sleep using scalp and intracranial EEG, showing high accuracy and informing stimulation timing.

Beyond Terrestrial Carnivores: Olfactory Bulb Anatomy in a Semi-Aquatic Mammal

This study characterizes the olfactory bulb anatomy of the Asian small-clawed otter, revealing a highly developed main olfactory bulb and a small, neurochemically distinct accessory olfactory bulb.

Hyperactivity preferentially disrupts scotopic retinal circuits in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy

This study identifies scotopic retinal circuit dysfunction in early diabetic retinopathy, linking hyperactivity to rod bipolar cell abnormalities and visual impairment under low-light conditions.

Auditory Evoked Potentials Differ from Controls and Correlate with Aspects of Cognition in Kabuki Syndrome and Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome

This study examines auditory evoked potentials in Kabuki syndrome and Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, finding differences from controls and correlations with cognitive aspects.
