Predicting B cell receptor substitution profiles using public repertoire data

Given the public release of many high-quality large B cell receptor datasets, one may ask whether it is possible to use such data in a prediction model for clonal-family-specific substitution profiles. In this paper, Dhar, Davidsen et al. present the method “Substitution Profiles Using Related Families”, a penalized tensor regression framework that integrates information from a rich assemblage of datasets to predict the clonal-family-specific substitution profile for any single input sequence.

A multi-scale layer-resolved spiking network model of resting-state dynamics in macaque visual cortical areas

Since models of cortex tend to concentrate on a single scale, little is known about how cortical structure shapes the multi-scale dynamics of the network. Schmidt et al. present dynamical simulations of a multi-area network model at neuronal and synaptic resolution with population-specific connectivity based on extensive experimental data.

Virus and CTL dynamics in the extrafollicular and follicular tissue compartments in SIV-infected macaques

Recent data indicate that killer T cell responses, or CTL, show reduced homing to the follicular compartment of the lymphoid tissue, while the majority of the CTL remain in the extrafollicular site, which appears to contribute to the observed unequal distribution of virus load in the two locations. Here, these dynamics are studied with 2-compartment mathematical models.

Genomic data integration systematically biases interactome mapping

Identification of true protein-protein interactions within massive proteomic datasets is challenging. One widely used approach integrates proteomic data with publicly available functional genomics data, such as mRNA coexpression or protein coevolution, to define likely interactions. Here we report that this technique introduces systematic biases into the resulting protein interaction networks.
