LM-ARG: Identification & classification of antibiotic resistance genes leveraging pre-trained protein language models
TL;DR: In this paper , a self-supervised model on the largest available ARG database with the help of a pre-trained language model ProtAlbert was presented, which used the raw protein LM-embeddings from unlabeled data on their ARG classification task and saw it outperform state of the art prediction algorithms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A new functional association-based protein complex prediction
TL;DR: This paper proposes a functional association-based method (FABM) to predict protein complexes in S. cerevisiae and shows that FABM outperforms MCODE, MCL, and SPICi in identifying non-overlapping protein complexes.

InfoTrim: A DNA Read Quality Trimmer Using Entropy
Jacob Porter,Liqing Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: InformationTrim, a new read trimmer, was created to explore issues relating to alignment quality as low complexity regions can align poorly and produces reasonable results consistent with other trimmers.

Capacity to erase gene occlusion is a defining feature distinguishing naive from primed pluripotency
Kara Foshay,Jung-Hyun Lee,Liqing Zhang,Fernandes Cj,Wu B,Jedidiah Gaetz,Samuel W. Baker,Timothy J. Looney,Andy Peng Xiang,Guoping Fan,Bruce T. Lahn +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a defining feature distinguishing the two pluripotent states lies in the ability of naive but not primed cells to erase gene occlusion, which is a mode of epigenetic inactivation that renders genes unresponsive to their cognate transcriptional activators.
Book ChapterDOI
The expected fitness cost of a mutation fixation under the one-dimensional fisher model
Liqing Zhang,Layne T. Watson +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that the expected fitness change due to the fixation of a mutation is always positive, regardless of the distributional shapes of mutation lengths, effective population sizes, and the initial state that the population is in.
