Comparative Analysis of RNA Families Reveals Distinct Repertoires for Each Domain of Life [PDF]
PLoS Comput Biol. 2012 8(11):e1002752, 2012 The RNA world hypothesis, that RNA genomes and catalysts preceded DNA genomes and genetically-encoded protein catalysts, has been central to models for the early evolution of life on Earth. A key part of such models is continuity between the earliest stages in the evolution of life and the RNA repertoires of extant lineages.

Predicting the spectrum of TCR repertoire sharing with a data-driven model of recombination [PDF]
Immunol Rev. 2018;284:167-179, 2018 Despite the extreme diversity of T cell repertoires, many identical T-cell receptor (TCR) sequences are found in a large number of individual mice and humans. These widely-shared sequences, often referred to as `public', have been suggested to be over-represented due to their potential immune functionality or their ease of generation by V(D)J ...

SafeAPT: Safe Simulation-to-Real Robot Learning using Diverse Policies Learned in Simulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The framework of Simulation-to-real learning, i.e, learning policies in simulation and transferring those policies to the real world is one of the most promising approaches towards data-efficient learning in robotics. However, due to the inevitable reality gap between the simulation and the real world, a policy learned in the simulation may not always ...
