Nanopore sequencing is an increasingly central tool for genomics. Despite rapid advances in the field, large data volumes and computational bottlenecks continue to pose major challenges. Here we introduce ex-zd, a new data compression strategy that helps address the large size of raw signal data generated during…

DNA has been pursued as a compelling medium for digital data storage during the past decade. While large-scale data storage and random access have been achieved in artificial DNA, the synthesis cost keeps hindering DNA data storage from popularizing into daily life. In this study, we proposed a more efficient paradigm…

Data compression is a challenging and increasingly important problem. As the amount of data generated daily continues to increase, efficient transmission and storage has never been more critical. In this study, a novel encoding algorithm is proposed, motivated by the compression of DNA data and associated…

Did artificial light reshape human sleep/wake cycle? Most likely the answer is “yes”. Did artificial light misalign the sleep/wake cycle in industrialized societies relative to the natural cycle of light and dark? For the average person —that is, obviating the tail of the distributions— the answer is probably not.…

The brain is not only constrained by energy needed to fuel computation, but it is also constrained by energy needed to form memories. Experiments have shown that learning simple conditioning tasks already carries a significant metabolic cost. Yet, learning a task like MNIST to 95% accuracy appears to require at least…

Per-base quality values in NGS sequencing data take a significant portion of storage even after compression. Lossy compression technologies could further reduce the space used by quality values. However, in many applications lossless compression is still desired. Hence, sequencing data in multiple file formats have to…

Although time perception is based on the internal representation of time, whether the subjective timeline is scaled linearly or logarithmically remains an open issue. Evidence from previous research is mixed: while the classical internal-clock model assumes a linear scale with scalar variability, there is evidence that…

Remembering information from continuous past episodes is a complex task. On the one hand, we must be able to recall events in a highly accurate way that often includes exact timing; on the other hand, we can ignore irrelevant details and skip to events of interest. We here track continuous episodes, consisting of…
