Viral mutation forecasting plays a key role in pandemic preparedness by enabling researchers to anticipate novel variants and design proactive interventions. Evolutionary histories, represented as phylogenetic trees, offer key insights into the emergence of past and present strains, yet their role in predicting future…

Biological information is generally thought to be subject to selection for faithful maintenance. However, accurate preservation is often combined with regulated mechanisms that generate state change. Selectively advantageous instability (SAI) is modeled here as instability that is favored because useful alternatives…

Continuous traits evolve unevenly across phylogenies, producing patterns of phenotypic differentiation shaped by both shared ancestry and lineage-specific change. Identifying exceptionally differentiated species pairs may therefore improve genome–phenome comparisons, but existing approaches rarely rank such contrasts…

The exponential growth of genomic databases necessitates alignment-free methods for comparing genomes. While MinHash-based tools have revolutionized this field by efficiently estimating the Average Nucleotide Identity based on k-mer sets, they inherently discard structural genomic information. We introduce HyperSketch…

Type I interferon (IFN-I) is an important class of cytokines that can inhibit tumuor progression through mechanisms such as immunomodulation of the tumuor microenvironment or targeting cellular components. Although various endogenous and exogenous IFN-I therapeutic strategies have been developed, reports of immune cell…

Although probabilistic computing offers a route to quantum-inspired optimization at room temperature, existing probabilistic bits (p-bits) often depend on non-CMOS devices or circuit-intensive randomness. Here, we report a CMOS-compatible p-bit that harnesses intrinsic random telegraph noise (RTN) in a fully depleted…

While protein-RNA interactions are fundamental to post-transcriptional processes, achieving a holistic understanding of their regulatory logic remains challenging. Current computational models often treat binding affinity, interface mapping, and RNA design as isolated tasks, thereby failing to provide a unified…

The Mongolian Plateau, a typical arid and semi-arid zone in Eurasia, is characterized by highly heterogeneous and fragmented wetland habitats. Phragmites australis, a common wetland species in this region, exhibits remarkable adaptability. Unraveling the coordination between phylogenetic history and local environmental…
