Algorithm for Optimized mRNA Design Improves Stability and Immunogenicity
He Zhang, Liang Zhang, Ang Lin +11
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are being used for COVID-19, but still suffer from the critical issue of mRNA instability and degradation, which is a major obstacle in the storage, d…
Approximating the Sum of Independent Non-Identical Binomial Random Variables
Boxiang Liu, Thomas Quertermous
The distribution of sum of independent non-identical binomial random variables is frequently encountered in areas such as genomics, healthcare, and operations research. Analytical…
Analysis and visualization of spatial transcriptomic data
Boxiang Liu, Yanjun Li, Liang Zhang
Human and animal tissues consist of heterogeneous cell types that organize and interact in highly structured manners. Bulk and single-cell sequencing technologies remove cells from…
A Graphical Introduction to Special Relativity Based on a Modern Approach to Minkowski Diagrams
Boxiang Liu, Thushara Perera
We present a comprehensive introduction to the kinematics of special relativity based on Minkowski diagrams and provide a graphical alternative to each and every topic covered in a…
Better than BERT but Worse than Baseline
Boxiang Liu, Jiaji Huang, Xingyu Cai +1
This paper compares BERT-SQuAD and Ab3P on the Abbreviation Definition Identification (ADI) task. ADI inputs a text and outputs short forms (abbreviations/acronyms) and long forms…
A multi-modal neural network for learning cis and trans regulation of stress response in yeast
Boxiang Liu, Nadine Hussami, Avanti Shrikumar +5
Deciphering gene regulatory networks is a central problem in computational biology. Here, we explore the use of multi-modal neural networks to learn predictive models of gene expre…
