Article Abstract
Transposable elements (TEs) are abundant in metazoan genomes and have multifaceted effects on host fitness. However, the mechanisms underlying the functions of TEs are still not fully understood. Here, we combine Hi-C, ATAC-seq, and ChIP-seq assays to report the existence of multimegabase supersized loop (SSL) clusters in the Xenopus tropicalis sperm. We show that SSL anchors are inaccessible and devoid of the architectural protein CTCF, RNA polymerase II, and modified histones. Nearly all SSL anchors are marked by Helitrons, a class II DNA transposon. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that SSL clusters are likely formed via a molecular agent-mediated chromatin condensation process. However, only slightly more SSL anchor-associated genes are expressed at late embryo development stages, suggesting that SSL anchors might only function in sperm. Our work shows an evolutionarily distinct and sperm-specific genome structure marked by a subset of Helitrons, whose establishment and function remain to be explored.

An Efficient Domain Knowledge-Guided Semantic Prediction Framework for Pathological Subtypes on the Basis of Radiological Images With Limited Annotations.
IEEE Trans Neural Netw Learn Syst
September 2025
Accurate prediction of pathological subtypes on radiological images is one of the most important deep learning (DL) tasks for the appropriate selection of clinical treatment. It is challenging for conventional DL models to obtain sufficient pathological labels for training because of the heavy workload, invasive surgery, and knowledge requirements in pathological analysis. However, existing methods based on limited annotations, such as active learning (AL) and semi-supervised learning (SSL), have difficulty in capturing lesion's effective features because of the complicated semantic information of radiologic images.

Rape () is an important oilseed crop widely cultivated worldwide. Due to its relatively short evolutionary and domestication history, its intra-species genetic diversity is limited. Radish (), belonging to a different genus but the same family as , possesses an abundance of excellent gene resources.

As data collection becomes increasingly facile and descriptions of data grow more diverse, exploring heterogeneous multiview data is becoming essential. Extracting valuable insights from vast multiview datasets is profoundly meaningful which can leverage the diversity of multiple features to improve classification accuracy. As is well-known, semi-supervised learning (SSL) utilizes limited set of labeled samples to train models when addressing label scarcity.

Objective: Success of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) mesh procedures also depends on reliable anchoring systems (AS). Our primary aim was to assess the use of soft-embalmed cadavers in testing of different AS and our secondary aim was to compare extraction forces (EF) of different AS and non-absorbable suture (NAS).
Study Design: IRB approval was obtained.
