Accurate identification of viruses in various ecosystems is essential for comprehending their variety and assessing their ecological influence. Metagenomic sequencing has become a major strategy to survey the viruses in various ecosystems. However, accurate and comprehensive virus detection in metagenomic data remains difficult. Limited reference sequences prevent alignment-based methods from identifying novel viruses. Machine learning-based tools are more promising in novel virus detection but often miss short viral contigs, which are abundant in typical metagenomic data. The inconsistency in virus search results produced by available tools further highlights the urgent need for a more robust tool for virus identification.Results: In this work, we develop ViraLM for identifying novel viral contigs in metagenomic data. By employing the latest genome foundation model as the backbone and training on a rigorously constructed dataset, the model is able to distinguish viruses from other organisms based on the learned genomic characteristics. We thoroughly tested ViraLM on multiple datasets and the experimental results show that ViraLM outperforms available tools in different scenarios. In particular, ViraLM improves the F1-score on short contigs by 22%.Availability: The source code of ViraLM is available via: https://github.com/ChengPENG-wolf/ViraLM.","PeriodicalId":93899,"journal":{"name":"Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142696061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no open-source virtual reality (VR) platform currently supports the rapid and efficient configuration of multi-user, collaborative BBIs. To address this gap, we introduce the Collaborative Virtual Reality Brain-to-Brain Interface (CVR-BBI), an open-source platform consisting of a client and server. The CVR-BBI client enables users to participate in collaborative experiments, collect electroencephalogram (EEG) data and manage interactive multisensory stimuli within the VR environment. Meanwhile, the CVR-BBI server manages multi-user collaboration paradigms, and performs real-time analysis of the EEG data. We evaluated the CVR-BBI platform using the SSVEP paradigm and observed that collaborative decoding outperformed individual decoding, validating the platform's effectiveness in collaborative settings. The CVR-BBI offers a pioneering platform that facilitates the development of innovative BBI applications within collaborative VR environments, thereby enhancing the understanding of brain collaboration and cognition.Availability and implementation: CVR-BBI is released as an open-source platform, with its source code being available at https://github.com/DILIU1/CVR-BBI.Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.","PeriodicalId":93899,"journal":{"name":"Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142690014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among others, enrichment analysis is part of the standard analysis arsenal to determine systemic signals in any given transcriptomic or proteomic data.

We present FungiFun3, a major update of our user-friendly gene set enrichment web application dedicated to fungi. FungiFun3 was rebuilt from scratch to support a modern and easy-to-use web interface and supports more than four-fold more fungal strains (n = 1,287 in total) than its predecessor.

In this algorithm, one deep learning classifier was constructed for sequence-based prediction by combining the residue and residue pair embeddings with cross-attention techniques, while the other classifier was established for structure-based prediction by integrating the structural embedding and a graph neural network. Meanwhile, a machine learning classifier was developed using novel structural descriptors and a random forest model to complement the structural deep learning classifier.

Recent advancements in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allow the capture of high-resolution snapshots of cell states as they transition along temporal trajectories. Using these high-throughput datasets, we can train computational models to generate in silico 'synthetic' cells that faithfully mimic the temporal trajectories.Results: Here we present OneSC, a platform that can simulate cell state transitions using systems of stochastic differential equations govern by a regulatory network of core transcription factors (TFs). Different from many current network inference methods, OneSC prioritizes on generating Boolean network that produces faithful cell state transitions and terminal cell states that mimic real biological systems. Applying OneSC to real data, we inferred a core TF network using a mouse myeloid progenitor scRNA-seq dataset and showed that the dynamical simulations of that network generate synthetic single-cell expression profiles that faithfully recapitulate the four myeloid differentiation trajectories going into differentiated cell states (erythrocytes, megakaryocytes, granulocytes and monocytes). Finally, through the in silico perturbations of the mouse myeloid progenitor core network, we showed that OneSC can accurately predict cell fate decision biases of TF perturbations that closely match with previous experimental observations.Availability: OneSC is implemented as a Python package on GitHub (https://github.com/CahanLab/oneSC) and on Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/records/14052421).Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.","PeriodicalId":93899,"journal":{"name":"Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent advances in pretrained language models (PLMs) and multi-modal learning present new opportunities to enhance DTI prediction by leveraging vast unlabeled molecular data and integrating complementary information from multiple modalities.Results: We introduce DrugLAMP (PLM-Assisted Multi-modal Prediction), a PLM-based multi-modal framework for accurate and transferable DTI prediction. DrugLAMP integrates molecular graph and protein sequence features extracted by PLMs and traditional feature extractors. We introduce two novel multi-modal fusion modules: (1) Pocket-guided Co-Attention (PGCA), which uses protein pocket information to guide the attention mechanism on drug features, and (2) Paired Multi-modal Attention (PMMA), which enables effective cross-modal interactions between drug and protein features. These modules work together to enhance the model's ability to capture complex drug-protein interactions. Moreover, the Contrastive Compound-Protein Pre-training (2C2P) module enhances the model's generalization to real-world scenarios by aligning features across modalities and conditions. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate DrugLAMP's state-of-the-art performance on both standard benchmarks and challenging settings simulating real-world drug discovery, where test drugs/targets are unseen during training. Visualizations of attention maps and application to predict cryptic pockets and drug side effects further showcase DrugLAMP's strong interpretability and generalizability.
