Comprehensive non-black box classification of highly correlated ecological time series pairs containing many zeros: the case of gut microbiome of mice

This paper introduces a non-black-box method to classify ecological time series pairs in mouse gut microbiota, revealing significant correlations despite many zeros and non-stationarity.

Enhancing Rice Growth and Yield with Weed Endophytic Bacteria Alcaligenes faecalis and Metabacillus indicus Under Reduced Chemical Fertilization

This study isolates and evaluates weed endophytic bacteria for their ability to enhance rice growth and yield under reduced chemical fertilization.

Genome Editing Outcomes Reveal Mycobacterial NucS Participates in a Short-Patch Repair of DNA Mismatches

This study shows that NucS in mycobacteria is involved in a short-patch DNA mismatch repair mechanism, distinct from canonical MMR, by directly repairing mismatches within 5-6 bp.

The "Duckweed Dip": Aquatic Spirodela polyrhiza Plants Can Efficiently Uptake Dissolved, DNA-Wrapped Carbon Nanotubes from Their Environment for Transient Gene Expression

This paper demonstrates that duckweeds can uptake DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes from their environment for transient gene expression without requiring agrobacterium or high nanomaterial doses.

Can Artificial Intelligence Detect Monkeypox from Digital Skin Images?

This study evaluates AI's potential to detect Monkeypox from digital skin images using a dataset of six skin conditions, finding 85% precision but noting the need for more training data.

Gene expression signature for predicting homologous recombination deficiency in triple-negative breast cancer

The paper develops a gene expression classifier to predict homologous recombination deficiency in triple-negative breast cancer using RNA-seq and WES data from a Malaysian cohort, achieving high accuracy in validation datasets.

A pandemic clonal lineage of the wheat blast fungus

The paper identifies a pandemic clonal lineage of the wheat blast fungus that originated in South America and spread to Asia and Africa, showing it can be controlled by Rmg8 but may develop fungicide resistance and recombine with African lineages.

Metagenomic analysis reveals the abundance and diversity of opportunistic fungal pathogens in the nasopharyngeal tract of COVID-19 patients

This study uses metagenomic analysis to show that SARS-CoV-2 infection increases opportunistic fungal pathogens in the nasopharyngeal tract while reducing commensal fungi.

Oligomycins Inhibit Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum and suppress wheat blast disease

This study evaluates the effects of oligomycins B and F on Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum, showing inhibition of growth, conidia formation, germination, and disease development.
