The manatee variational autoencoder model for predicting gene expression alterations caused by transcription factor perturbations [PDF]

Scientific Reports
We present the Manatee variational autoencoder model to predict transcription factor (TF) perturbation-induced transcriptomes. We demonstrate that the Manatee in silico perturbation analysis recapitulates target transcriptomic phenotypes in diverse ...

Microplastics in large marine herbivores: Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) in Tampa Bay

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Although there is growing concern about ingestion of microplastics by marine organisms, little research has been conducted on marine herbivores. This is the first study to document microplastic ingestion within the family Sirenia.
