Alignment-Aware Genomic Coordinate Encoding for Long-Range DNA Modeling

This paper introduces USM-AA, an alignment-aware genomic foundation model that improves long-range DNA modeling by incorporating reference genome coordinates and reverse-complement masked learning.

The nuclear structural protein NuMA is required for efficient DNA replication by ensuring association of core replication factors to replication forks

This study shows NuMA is required for efficient DNA replication by ensuring association of core replication factors to replication forks, leading to genome stability.

Human Lymph Node Cellular Senescence Atlas Reveals Age-Dependent Alteration in Germinal Center B Cell Function and Niches

This study maps age-related cellular senescence in human lymph nodes, identifying senescence markers and spatial shifts in germinal center B cells.

In vivo investigation of STN1 downregulation in melanoma formation in adult mice following UV irradiation

The paper investigates the role of STN1 downregulation in UV-induced melanoma formation in mice, finding no significant effect on melanoma incidence in STN1-deficient mice.

Brain plasticity for visual words: Elementary school teachers can drive changes in weeks that rival those formed over years

This study shows that two weeks of classroom vocabulary instruction can produce neural responses similar to long-term vocabulary learning, correlating with phonological decoding skills.

Early detection of sublexical and lexical processing in beginning readers: evidence from Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs)

The paper uses SSVEPs and RCA to detect sublexical and lexical processing in early readers, finding early evidence of lexical fine-tuning in kindergarteners.

Neural Sources Underlying Visual Word Form Processing as Revealed by Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP)

The paper uses SSVEP and RCA to identify distinct neural sources in visual word recognition, finding two components with different latencies and topographies.

A negative feedback model to explain regulation of SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription

The paper proposes a negative feedback model explaining SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription regulation through nsp15 cleavage of transcription regulatory sequences.

Targeted stimulation of an orbitofrontal network disrupts decisions based on inferred, not experienced outcomes

This study shows that stimulating the orbitofrontal cortex impairs decision-making based on inferred outcomes but not on direct experience.
