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…

Among the human senses, hearing is distinguished by its high frequency resolution and sensitivity to spatiotemporal patterns. Accordingly, sonification—the rendering of neural activity as sound for direct perception—has a long history in neuroscience. Although sonification can facilitate exploration of the temporal…

For datasets with thousands of neurons and images, vision transformers have proven successful at predicting neural responses to stimuli. However, they are expected to underperform in low-data regimes, where CNNs and Gaussian processes are considered more effective. We ask whether transformers can be made competitive…

The brain builds meaning from speech in stages, transforming acoustic input into linguistic comprehension. Yet where comprehension separates from general acoustic processing has been difficult to localize, because the two are tightly entangled in continuous speech. Here we align the activity of 145,000 individual…

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…
