Article Abstract
Summary: TFInfer is a novel open access, standalone tool for genome-wide inference of transcription factor activities from gene expression data. Based on an earlier MATLAB version, the software has now been extended in a number of ways. It has been significantly optimised in terms of performance, and it was given novel functionality, by allowing the user to model both time series and data from multiple independent conditions. With a full documentation and intuitive graphical user interface, together with an in-built data base of yeast and Escherichia coli transcription factors, the software does not require any mathematical or computational expertise to be used effectively.

DnaA regulates stationary phase-specific expression of a AAA family gene in Caulobacter crescentus.
Genes Genet Syst

In most eubacteria the initiator protein DnaA triggers chromosomal replication by forming an initiation complex at the origin of replication and also functions as a transcriptional regulator, coordinating gene expression with cell cycle progression. While DnaA-regulated genes are relatively well characterized in exponentially growing cells, its role in gene regulation during stationary phase remains insufficiently explored. Here, using an aquatic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus as a model, we show that C.

Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 200240, China.
Motivation: RNA velocity has become a powerful tool for uncovering transcriptional dynamics in snapshot single-cell data. However, current RNA velocity approaches often assume constant transcriptional rates and treat genes independently with gene-specific times, which may introduce biases and deviate from biological realities. Here, we present InterVelo, a novel deep learning framework that simultaneously learns cellular pseudotime and RNA velocity.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) reveals gene expression distributions within tissues. Yet, predicting spatial gene expression from histological images still faces the challenges of limited ST data that lack prior knowledge, and insufficient capturing of inter-slice heterogeneity and intra-slice complexity. To tackle these challenges, we introduce FmH2ST, a foundation model-based method for spatial gene expression prediction.

CDK7 has emerged as a cancer target because of its pivotal roles in cell cycle progression and transcription. Several CDK7 inhibitors (CDK7i) are now in clinical evaluation. Identifying patients most likely to respond to treatment and early detection of tumour evolution towards resistance are necessary for optimal implementation of cancer therapies.

This paper presents ClinicSum, a novel framework designed to automatically generate clinical summaries from patient-doctor conversations. It utilizes a two-module architecture: a retrieval-based filtering module that extracts Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan (SOAP) information from conversation transcripts, and an inference module powered by fine-tuned Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs), which leverage the extracted SOAP data to generate abstracted clinical summaries. To fine-tune the PLM, we created a training dataset of consisting 1,473 conversations-summaries pair by consolidating two publicly available datasets, FigShare and MTS-Dialog, with ground truth summaries validated by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).
