Revisiting Structured Variational Autoencoders

CoRR, 2023
Structured variational autoencoders (SVAEs) combine probabilistic graphical model priors on latent variables, deep neural networks to link latent variables to observed data, and structure-exploiting algorithms for approximate posterior inference.

Variation in grouping patterns, mating systems and social structure: what socio-ecological models attempt to explain [PDF]

, 2013
Socio-ecological models aim to predict the variation in social systems based on a limited number of ecological parameters. Since the 1960s, the original model has taken two paths: one relating to grouping patterns and mating systems and one relating to ...

Genetic diversity and structure of Iberian Peninsula cowpeas compared to world-wide cowpea accessions using high density SNP markers

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is an important legume crop due to its high protein content, adaptation to heat and drought and capacity to fix nitrogen. Europe has a deficit of cowpea production. Knowledge of genetic diversity among cowpea

Prediction of structural variation

Current Opinion in Structural Biology
Proteins are dynamic molecules that transition between conformational states to perform their functions, and characterizing the protein ensemble is important for understanding biology and therapeutic applications. While recent breakthroughs in machine learning have enabled the prediction of high-quality static models of individual proteins, generating ...

Mining the Protein Data Bank to Differentiate Error from Structural Variation in Clustered Static Structures: An Examination of HIV Protease

Viruses, 2012
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains over 71,000 structures. Extensively studied proteins have hundreds of submissions available, including mutations, different complexes, and space groups, allowing for application of data-mining algorithms to analyze an

Temporal approach to identifying ectomycorrhizal community associated with Mongolian pine in a desert environment, northern China

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
To date, the ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi community has been widely investigated with aging plantations affected by the pedologic factors. However, knowledge on the effects of phenology induced by climatic factors across the age range remains poorly ...

Structural variation in the 3D genome [PDF]

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2018
Structural and quantitative chromosomal rearrangements, collectively referred to as structural variation (SV), contribute to a large extent to the genetic diversity of the human genome and thus are of high relevance for cancer genetics, rare diseases and evolutionary genetics.

Genome and haplotype provide insights into the population differentiation and breeding improvement of Gossypium barbadense

Journal of Advanced Research, 2023
Introduction: Sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense, Gb) is one of the major sources of high-grade natural fiber. Besides the common annual Gb cotton, perennial Gb cotton is also cultivated, but studies on perennial Gb cotton are rare.
