Homology-aware average nucleotide identity estimation at scale with TurboANI

09/11/2026 - Here we introduce TurboANI, a fast homology-aware average nucleotide identity (ANI) estimation algorithm that implements the seed-chain-quasi-alignment scheme using SIMD seeding, compact indexing,...

Benchmarking foundation models for resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging time series in cognitive aging research

09/11/2026 - Foundation models trained on large neuroimaging datasets could help smaller studies investigate cognition from brain recordings. However, whether the foundation model-derived representations improve...

Higgs signal strength estimation with machine learning under systematic uncertainties, by Minxuan He, Claudius Krause, Daohan Wang

06/11/2026 - We present a dedicated graph neural network (GNN)-based methodology for the extraction of the Higgs boson signal strength $\mu$, incorporating systematic uncertainties. The architecture features two...

Personalized Prediction of Differences in fMRI Connectivity Estimates Across Preprocessing Pipelines

06/11/2026 - Longitudinal functional MRI of the human brain is valuable for tracking changes in functional connectivity (FC) associated with disease progression or treatment response. Even so, measured FC values...

Functional Data Clustering of Filopodia Dynamics

06/11/2026 - Notch signaling plays a significant role in tissue patterning. During patterning of the fruit fly dorsal thorax peripheral nervous system, basal filopodia extend the spatial range of cell-cell...

stem.MAP: Identification of cell-type-specific protein complexes in mammalian embryonic stem cells.

06/11/2026 - Protein complexes carry out critical functions during development. Mapping cell-type-specific protein complexes in early embryogenesis is essential for uncovering the molecular mechanisms of...

Codebase release 1.1 for svPITE, by Pascal Sievers, Satoshi Ejima

05/11/2026 - We present a Python package for ground-state preparation based on the probabilistic imaginary-time evolution algorithm, with particular focus on its state-vector-based implementation. A standard...

svPITE: A Python package for the state-vector-based probabilistic imaginary-time evolution algorithm, by Pascal Sievers, Satoshi Ejima

A timeline for evolution of metabolism in early microbes

05/11/2026 - The metabolism of early microbes shaped our planet's chemistry and enabled more life to evolve. However, it remains uncertain when many forms of metabolism arose and which organisms carried them out....

Multi-objective domain adaptation for pan-cancer transfer of pharmacogenomic drug response to patient tumours

05/11/2026 - Large-scale pharmacogenomic screens provide rich drug-sensitivity measurements in cancer cell lines, but transferring these measurements to patient tumours remains limited by biological heterogeneity...

SLAC scientists find conclusive proof of a mysterious third type of magnetism

04/11/2026 - For nearly 90 years, scientists believed magnetism fell into just two categories, but researchers have now confirmed a remarkable third type called altermagnetism. Using specialized X-rays, they...

Thalamic stereo-EEG detects sleep stages N2 and N3 with discrimination approaching scalp EEG

04/11/2026 - Sleep and epilepsy interact strongly during sleep stages N2 and N3, when synchronization of brain rhythms is increased. Sleep staging relies on scalp EEG, which is often absent or incomplete during...

The brain’s hidden fear mechanism may explain anxiety and PTSD

03/11/2026 - A surprising new discovery suggests that fear may cause the brain to blur the line between danger and safety rather than distinguish them more clearly. By observing brain activity in mice using...

Tensor-network methodology for real-space super-moiré excitons, by Anouar Moustaj, Yitao Sun, Tiago Antão, Lumen Eek, Jose L. Lado

02/11/2026 - Computing excitonic spectra in quasicrystal and super-moiré systems constitutes a formidable challenge due to the exceptional size of the excitonic Hilbert space. Here, we demonstrate a...

SMARTFlexDB: a paired apo-holo RNA structure database and analysis platform for RNA conformational flexibility and small-molecule recognition

02/11/2026 - RNA structures can undergo substantial conformational changes upon small-molecule binding, yet existing structural resources provide only static RNA-ligand snapshots without connecting ligand-bound...
