Shedding light on DNA methylation and its clinical implications: the impact of long-read-based nanopore technology by Alexandra Chera, Mircea Stancu-Cretu, Nicolae Radu Zabet, Octavian Bucur

“…Due to their repetitive nature, it is challenging to accurately estimate DNA methylation levels within transposable elements using short sequencing technologies. The advantage to sequence native DNA (without PCR amplification biases or harsh bisulfite treatment) and long and ultra long reads coupled with epigenetic states of the DNA allows to accurately estimate DNA methylation levels in transposable elements. …”

LSTM+MA: A Time-Series Model for Predicting Pavement IRI by Tianjie Zhang, Alex Smith, Huachun Zhai, Yang Lu

“…However, the existing research on IRI prediction mainly focuses on using linear regression or traditional machine learning, which cannot take into account the historical effects of IRI caused by climate, traffic, pavement construction and intermittent maintenance. In this work, a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based model, LSTM+MA, is proposed to predict the IRI of pavements using the time-series data extracted from the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) dataset. …”

Flowering characteristics and breeding system of Deutzia parviflora by WANG Qi, LI Jinyu, WANG Xinyi, WANG Yixuan, GUO Wei, YUAN Tao

“…Its flowering type is concentrated flowering, with a group flowering period of 22-23 d and a single flowering period of 8 d, which can be divided into 8 stages. (2) The stigma acceptability at the petal flattening stage was the strongest, and the pollen viability at the stamen expansion stage was the highest. (3) The optimal medium for pollen viability determination was: 100.0 g/L sucrose + 0.3 g/L H3BO3 + 0.2 g/L CaCl2. (4) Pollen can be dried and stored in the short term (within 10 d), at -20 ℃ and -80 ℃ in the medium term (10-30 d), and at -80 ℃ for a long time (more than 30 d). (5) The pollen-ovule ratio of D . parviflora was 23 695.93, the out-crossing index was 3, the fruit setting rate of xenogamy was the highest. …”
