The genetic basis for adaptation in giant sea anemones to their symbiosis with anemonefish and Symbiodiniaceae

This study identifies gene expression patterns in giant sea anemones that reveal adaptations to their symbiosis with anemonefish and Symbiodiniaceae.

Differential structural organization and gene expression regulatory networks of lamin A Ig fold domain mutants of muscular dystrophy.

This paper investigates how two LMNA mutations, R453W and W514R, affect lamin A structure, epigenetic regulation, and gene expression in muscular dystrophy.

Lattice-based microenvironmental uncertainty driven phenotypic decision-making: a comparison with Notch-Delta-Jagged signaling

The paper develops a lattice-based agent model driven by microenvironmental uncertainty to study multicellular phenotypic decision-making, comparing it with Notch-Delta-Jagged signaling.

The parallel origins of vertebrate venoms

This study investigates whether kallikrein-like serine proteases in vertebrate venoms evolved convergently or in parallel, finding they are homologous and suggesting a shared evolutionary origin.

Close to optimal cell sensing ensures the robustness of tissue differentiation process: the avian photoreceptor mosaic case

The paper develops a theory of stochastic thermodynamics for cell differentiation and applies it to avian photoreceptor mosaic data to show that optimal cell sensing ensures tissue differentiation robustness.

Predicting the tension in actin cytoskeleton from the nucleus shape

The paper develops a computational method to estimate actin cytoskeletal tension from nuclear shape using geometric parameters and validates it through experimental modulation.

An ancient, conserved gene regulatory network led to the rise of oral venom systems

The paper identifies a conserved gene regulatory network involved in venom evolution across vertebrates, showing how shared molecular machinery was co-opted for oral venom systems in different species.

A least microenvironmental uncertainty principle (LEUP) as a generative model of collective cell migration mechanisms.

This paper introduces the LEUP model to generate collective cell migration patterns without full mechanistic details, demonstrating its applicability to bacterial swarming behavior.

Draft genome sequence of a popular Indian tea genotype TV-1

The paper presents the first draft genome sequence of the Indian tea cultivar TV-1, providing insights into its genetic structure and potential for distinguishing it from other tea varieties.

Mining Significant Features of Diabetes Mellitus Applying Decision Trees: A Case Study In Bangladesh

This study uses decision tree models to predict diabetes severity and identify significant features from a Bangladeshi dataset, finding plasma glucose, glucose 2hr after glucose, and HDL-cholesterol as key predictors.

Many options, few solutions: over 60 million years snakes converged on a few optimal venom formulations

The paper analyzes venom toxin gene expression across 52 snake species to show that while many combinations are possible, only a few optimal venom formulations are repeatedly selected across evolution.
