  • Global changes in synthesis rates and mRNA stabilities during adaptive responses to cell wall stress in yeast

    Global changes in synthesis rates and mRNA stabilities during adaptive responses to cell wall stress in yeast

    Global kinetic analysis of mRNA levels, synthesis rates, and mRNA stabilities after cell wall stress

    In recent years, our lab has characterized the global transcriptional response of S. cerevisiae to Congo Red, a dye that interferes with cell wall…

  • Highly adaptable deep-learning platform for automated detection and analysis of vesicle exocytosis

    Highly adaptable deep-learning platform for automated detection and analysis of vesicle exocytosis

    Stationary and random burst events algorithm

    Our approach to detecting burst events involves two main parts: automatic region selection and neural network classification. The first part is detecting the potential ROIs. The event detection…

  • A Cross-Species Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Histology Database of Vertebrates

    A Cross-Species Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Histology Database of Vertebrates

    Determining the mechanisms of brain evolution by studying only a select number of organisms that have adapted to a restrictive survival environment is currently an inadequate approach. Here, we attempted a comparative analysis of the brain…

  • C. elegans sperm and oocytes differentially transmit diet-induced adaptations to their progeny

    C. elegans sperm and oocytes differentially transmit diet-induced adaptations to their progeny

    Growth on novel bacteria reduces self-brood size

    We assessed reproductive fitness by measuring hermaphrodite self-brood size as a primary metric to evaluate multigenerational adaptation. Specifically, we measured the total self-brood size of…

  • Neural network based AI model for lung health assessment

    Neural network based AI model for lung health assessment

    The methodology proposed in this study is illustrated in Fig. 1. The steps followed can be broadly divided into data acquisition, pre-processing, training and testing, and final decision. These steps are discussed in detail in the following…

  • Revealing a Link Between a Common Virus and Parkinson’s Disease

    Revealing a Link Between a Common Virus and Parkinson’s Disease

    New research has suggested that a virus that has typically been thought of as common and harmless may actually be associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. This study, which has been reported…

    New discovery uncovers hidden drivers of DNA transcription errors

    Every living cell must interpret its genetic code – a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics at Rice University has…
