Article Abstract
Summary: With the rapid development of long-read sequencing technologies, the era of individual complete genomes is approaching. We have developed , a cross-platform, ultrafast toolkit that supports a range of whole genome alignment (WGA) formats, offering practical tools for conversion, processing, statistical evaluation, and visualization of alignments, thereby facilitating population-level genome analysis and advancing functional and evolutionary genomics.
Availability And Implementation: supports diverse formats and can process, filter, and statistically evaluate alignments, perform alignment-based variant calling, and visualize alignments both locally and genome-wide. Built with Rust for efficiency and safe memory usage, it ensures fast performance and can handle large datasets consisting of hundreds of genomes. is published as free software under the MIT open-source license, and its source code is freely available at https://github.com/wjwei-handsome/wgatools.

The analysis of ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) data from low-symmetry single crystals of small molecules is often challenged by the difficulty of assigning unique Laue indices to the observed Bragg reflections. For a variety of technical and physical reasons, UED diffraction images are typically of lower quality when viewed from the perspective of structure determination by single-crystal x-ray or electron diffraction. Nevertheless, time series of UED images can provide valuable insight into structural dynamics, providing that an adequate interpretation of the diffraction patterns can be achieved.

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive foodborne pathogen responsible for listeriosis, a severe disease with high mortality in immunocompromised individuals. Rapid and accurate detection in food samples is essential for food safety. In this study, we developed and optimized an Antibody-Free Nucleic Acid Lateral Flow Assay (AF-NALFA) as part of a molecular detection toolkit for the visual readout of amplified L.

Spatiotemporal (ST) beams-ultrafast optical wavepackets with customized spatial and temporal characteristics-present a significant contrast to conventional spatial-structured light and hold the potential to revolutionize our understanding and manipulation of light. However, progress in ST beam research has been constrained by the absence of a universal framework for its analysis and generation. Here, we introduce the concept of 'two-dimensional space-time duality', establishing a foundational duality between spatial-structured light and ST beams.

Motivation: Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has revolutionized our ability to observe structures from the subcellular to the atomic level in their native states. Achieving high-resolution reconstruction involves collecting tilt series at different angles and subsequently backprojecting them into 3D space or iteratively reconstructing them to build a 3D volume of the specimen. However, the intricate computational demands of tomographic reconstruction pose significant challenges, requiring extensive calculation times that hinder efficiency, especially with large and complex datasets.
