Promising markers of CIMP+ colon tumors identified on the basis of TCGA data analysis by G. S. Krasnov, A. D. Beniaminov, R. A. Tychko, G. A. Puzanov, R. O. Novakovskiy, A. V. Kudryavtseva, A. A. Dmitriev

“…For the identification of CpG sites, the methylation level of which could be used to detect CIMP+ tumors, an analysis of expression and methylation profiles of 297 primary colon tumors and 38 histologically normal tissues paired to them, which are presented in the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) project database, was performed by us using the CrossHub tool created previously. We developed the scoring, which takes into account the methylation level of CpG sites, their location, and the expression level of the corresponding genes. …”

BerryPortraits: Phenotyping Of Ripening Traits in cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) with YOLOv8 by Jenyne Loarca, Tyr Wiesner-Hanks, Hector Lopez-Moreno, Andrew F. Maule, Michael Liou, Maria Alejandra Torres-Meraz, Luis Diaz-Garcia, Jennifer Johnson-Cicalese, Jeffrey Neyhart, James Polashock, Gina M. Sideli, Christopher F. Strock, Craig T. Beil, Moira J. Sheehan, Massimo Iorizzo, Amaya Atucha, Juan Zalapa

“…Utilizing the YOLOv8 framework and community-developed, actively-maintained Python libraries such as OpenCV, BerryPortraits software was trained on 512 postharvest images (taken under controlled lighting conditions) of phenotypically diverse cranberry populations (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) from the two largest public cranberry breeding programs in the U.S. The implementation of CIELAB, an intuitive and perceptually uniform color space, enables differentiation between berry color and berry brightness, which are confounded in classic RGB color channel measurements. …”
