Computational prediction and interpretation of both general and specific types of promoters in Escherichia coli by exploiting a stacked ensemble-learning framework

Fuyi Li et al.

Summary: Promoters are short DNA sequences responsible for gene transcription activation or repression in bacteria, and identifying them accurately is crucial for understanding their functions. Current computational methods for promoter classification have shown unsatisfactory performance, prompting the development of a novel stacked-ensemble approach called SELECTOR. SELECTOR outperformed existing methods in predicting both general and specific types of promoters in Escherichia coli, providing crucial insights through the Shapley Additive exPlanation algorithm.

Bilateral double beta peaks in a PD patient with STN electrodes

Thomas Koeglsperger et al.

Summary: The study investigated subthalamic beta band peak amplitudes in a Parkinson's disease patient over time using a novel neurostimulator. A double-peaked beta activity was found on both sides, with stimulation and physical activity resulting in decreased beta band amplitude and a previously unrecognized peak at 13 Hz in the right hemisphere. These findings support further research on distinct peaks in the beta band as potential closed-loop biomarkers.

Modulation of beta bursts in subthalamic sensorimotor circuits predicts improvement in bradykinesia

Yasmine M. Kehnemouyi et al.

Summary: It has been found that improvements in bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease patients undergoing deep brain stimulation are linked to a reduction in beta oscillopathy in the sensorimotor region. The degree of improvement correlates with the reduction in beta power and burst durations, as well as the volume of tissue modulated in the subthalamic nucleus. These findings suggest that beta oscillopathy combined with lead location could potentially serve as a marker for real-time feedback to adjust clinical settings or drive closed-loop deep brain stimulation.
