How Deep is the Signal? Time-Context up to 30 Years for Colorectal Cancer Prediction in a Primary-Care EHR Model
EHR foundation models read medical events within a fixed context window, and long context has so far been measured only in tokens.PharmAgents2: Towards Autonomous End-to-End Drug Discovery
Drug discovery requires continuous scientific decision-making across a vast research space.Static Recovery Is Not Dynamic Stability: Dynamics-Aware Benchmarking of Protein Motif Scaffolding
Protein motif scaffolding benchmarks assess whether generative models can build scaffolds around functionally important residues.Invariance before structure: two modes of emergent compression in representation learning
Learned representations show striking invariance across biological and artificial neural networks, with different substrates and variations driven by drift, heterogeneity and initialisation.Reversible Dynamics, Asymmetric Actions: Parking as a Trajectory-Level Affordance
Drivers are often told to back into a tight parking space, not drive in nose first.MUSS: A Multi-scale and Sequence-based Model for Single-cell Gene Regulation
Modeling gene regulation in single cells requires jointly representing DNA sequence, chromatin accessibility, and gene expression across regulatory scales.Do sEMG Foundation Models Improve Cross-Subject Generalisation?
sEMG Foundation Models aim to learn general purpose representations over diverse subjects and recording conditions that boost performance on a variety of downstream tasks.Geometric Relevance Is Not Sufficient: Evaluating Focused Post-Training Supervision in Diffusion Docking
Diffusion-based molecular docking requires learning a corrective score field across a broad corruption distribution, yet individual pose errors can differ substantially in their structural…Interpretable many-body interaction laws for collective motion from few trajectories
Models of collective motion usually reduce social interactions to pairwise forces, despite empirical evidence for many-body effects.Same Behavior, Different Mechanism: What Finite Experiments Can Certify About Integrated Information
Interpretability, AI auditing and assessments of machine consciousness increasingly rest on mechanism-level quantities: functionals of a system's causal transition law that describe how it computes…A Staphylococcus phage recombination cassette that enables recombineering across distant bacteria
Modifying bacterial genomes with phage recombinases, a process termed recombineering, has enabled precise genome editing, but its reach is limited by host specificity: each new organism generally…Genomic prediction of resistance to Phytophthora megakarya in cacao from a sparse host-pathogen screen
Black pod rot caused by Phytophthora megakarya is a major disease impacting cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) production in West Africa.Feedback Valence, Prediction Error, and the Limits of Computational Attribution in Symptom-Related EEG
Feedback-locked electroencephalography (EEG) responses are often interpreted using model-derived prediction errors (PEs), although signed PE can be strongly coupled to feedback valence in…Sexual interactions and local selection shape reproductive gene diversity and divergence
Genes involved in genotype x genotype coevolution display unique patterns of nucleotide diversity and population divergence.Early Increases in Hippocampal Synchrony Predict Chronic Epileptiform Burden in a Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Model
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), the most common focal epilepsy, is often drug-resistant and arises predominantly in the hippocampus.Sex differences in cell type-specific transcriptional programs and GPCR signaling in the human subgenual anterior cingulate cortex
Psychiatric conditions show marked sex differences in disease onset, symptom presentation, and response to treatments.TIGRdisco: a tool for the discovery of TIGR arrays and TIGR-associated Tas proteins from nucleotide sequences
Tandem Interspaced Guide RNA (TIGR)-TIGR-associated protein (Tas) systems mediate DNA targeting through a hypercompact Tas effector, guided by dual spacers within a tigRNA that is processed from…Parallel descending neurons differentially encode target and looming information in the hoverfly visual system
Detecting small, fast-moving objects is crucial for behaviors such as pursuit, territorial defence, and predator avoidance.Bayesian phylogenetic inference accounting for recombination in whole bacterial genomes
Recombination is a major evolutionary force in bacteria, and ignoring it distorts phylogenies and can invalidate downstream analyses such as dating.Wild wood mouse gut microbiota are influenced by captivity and cross-fostering
Background Wild and laboratory animals harbour profoundly different gut microbiota, but how microbiomes shift between these states, and the relative roles of captivity, microbial history, and host…
