Venom-gland transcriptomics and venom proteomics of the Tibellus oblongus spider
Scientific Data, 2023 AbstractThe Tibellus oblongus spider is an active hunter that does not spin webs and remains highly underinvestigated in terms of the venom composition. Here, we describe venom glands transcriptome and venom proteome analysis for unveiling the polypeptide composition of Tibellus oblongus spider venom.

From Ambiguous Queries to Verifiable Insights: A Task‐Driven Framework for LLM‐Powered SOC Analysis⋆
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Security operations centre (SOC) analysts must investigate alerts, correlate threat intelligence and interpret heterogeneous telemetry under tight timing constraints. Although large language models (LLMs) offer strong understanding capabilities, directly applying them to SOC environments remains challenging due to semantic ambiguity in analyst
