PINES: phenotype-informed tissue weighting improves prediction of pathogenic noncoding variants
Functional characterization of the noncoding genome is essential for biological understanding of gene regulation and disease. Here, we introduce the computational framework PINES (Phenotype-Informed Noncoding Element Scoring), which predicts the ...

GlycoNMR: Dataset and benchmarks for NMR chemical shift prediction of carbohydrates with graph neural networks [PDF]
Molecular representation learning (MRL) is a powerful tool for bridging the gap between machine learning and chemical sciences, as it converts molecules into numerical representations while preserving their chemical features. These encoded representations serve as a foundation for various downstream biochemical studies, including property prediction ...

MRL: Learning to Mix with Attention and Convolutions [PDF]
In this paper, we present a new neural architectural block for the vision domain, named Mixing Regionally and Locally (MRL), developed with the aim of effectively and efficiently mixing the provided input features. We bifurcate the input feature mixing task as mixing at a regional and local scale. To achieve an efficient mix, we exploit the domain-wide

From Galaxy Clusters to Ultra-Faint Dwarf Spheroidals: A Fundamental Curve Connecting Dispersion-supported Galaxies to Their Dark Matter Halos [PDF]
We examine scaling relations of dispersion-supported galaxies over more than eight orders of magnitude in luminosity by transforming standard fundamental plane parameters into a space of mass (M1/2), radius (r1/2), and luminosity (L1/2).

Toll-like receptor 9 suppresses lupus disease in Fas-sufficient MRL Mice
Genetic deficiency in TLR9 accelerates pathogenesis in the spontaneous polygenic MRL.Faslpr murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus, despite the absence of anti-nucleosome autoantibodies. However, it could be argued that this result was dependent on

Train Hard, Fight Easy: Robust Meta Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
A major challenge of reinforcement learning (RL) in real-world applications is the variation between environments, tasks or clients. Meta-RL (MRL) addresses this issue by learning a meta-policy that adapts to new tasks. Standard MRL methods optimize the average return over tasks, but often suffer from poor results in tasks of high risk or difficulty ...

SERPINB3 delays glomerulonephritis and attenuates the lupus-like disease in lupus murine models by inducing a more tolerogenic immune phenotype [PDF]
Objective: To explore the effects of SERPINB3 administration in murine lupus models with a focus on lupus-like nephritis. Methods: 40 NZB/W F1 mice were subdivided into 4 groups and intraperitoneally injected with recombinant SERPINB3 (7.5 \u3bcg/0.1 mL ...
