BarKeeper—a versatile web framework to assemble, analyse and manage DNA barcoding data and metadata

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
DNA barcoding aids in rapidly identifying specimens in various contexts by comparing short stretches of DNA to a reference database. Barcoding initiatives generate large reference databases of carefully curated high‐quality sequences to maximize ...

Image colourisation using deep feature‐guided image retrieval

IET Image Processing, 2019
In this study, the authors aim to colourise a greyscale image using a fully automated framework which retrieves similar images from a reference database and then transfers the colour from the most similar retrieved images to perform colourisation ...

eDNA in a bottleneck: Obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems

Environmental DNA, 2021
The current capacity of environmental DNA (eDNA) to provide accurate insights into the biodiversity of megadiverse regions (e.g., the Neotropics) requires further evaluation to ensure its reliability for long‐term monitoring.

Human Cell-Based in vitro Phenotypic Profiling for Drug Safety-Related Attrition

Frontiers in Big Data, 2019
Ensuring the safety of new drugs is critically important to regulators, pharmaceutical researchers and patients alike. Even so, unexpected toxicities still account for 20–30% of clinical trial failures, in part due to the persistence of animal testing as

Reference database for photon strength functions [PDF]

The European Physical Journal A, 2019
Photon strength functions describing the average response of the nucleus to an electromagnetic probe are key input information in the theoretical modelling of nuclear reactions. Consequently they are important for a wide range of fields such as nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, medical isotope production, fission and fusion reactor technologies.

Unveiling the immunomodulatory shift: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition Alters immune mechanisms of amniotic epithelial cells

iScience, 2023
Summary: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) changes cell phenotype by affecting immune properties of amniotic epithelial cells (AECs). The present study shows how the response to lipopolysaccharide of cells collected pre- (eAECs) and post-EMT (mAECs)

An automated workflow to assess completeness and curate GenBank for environmental DNA metabarcoding: The marine fish assemblage as case study

Environmental DNA, 2023
To successfully implement environmental DNA‐based (eDNA) diversity monitoring, the completeness and accuracy of reference databases used for taxonomic assignment of eDNA sequences are among the challenges to be tackled. Here, we have developed a workflow
