私たちが直面する問題は2種類に分けられる。それは「己の限界」と「他者の檻」である。全ての主観者が『反復』するプロセスを織り込んで、2つの問題は常に背中合わせとなる。自らが解決した問題は常に他者を囚え続け、鏡のようにその逆が成り立つ。檻から出た先は檻であり、入れ子のように循環する。

□ Φ-SO: Deep symbolic regression for physics guided by units constraints: toward the automated discovery of physical laws
>> https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.03192
Φ-SO, a Physical Symbolic Optimization framework for recovering analytical symbolic expressions from physics data using deep reinforcement learning techniques by learning units constraints.
Φ-SO restricts the freedom of the equation generator, and balanced units are proposed by construction, thus greatly reducing the search space. It enables the algorithm to zero-out the probability of forbidden symbols that would result in expressions that violate units rules.

□ scPheno: Extraction of biological signals by factorization enables the reliable analysis of single-cell transcriptomics
>> https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.04.531126v1
scPheno, a deep auto-regressive factor model that is used to extract the biological signals imbedded in transcriptome, identify gene expression variations associated with each of the phenotypes, and re-build the accumulative effect of multiple phenotypes on cell states.
scPheno will factorize gene expression pertaining to a phenotypic factor and project cells onto a latent variable space, where the latent variable specifies a hidden cell state and cells of the same hidden states will cluster together.
The deep factor model will infer the factorized latent variable spaces. The factorization neural networks and the reconstruction neural network can be coupled to predict gene expression in relation to any factor combination.

□ INSnet: a method for detecting insertions based on deep learning network
>> https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-023-05216-0
INSnet divides the reference genome into continuous sub-regions and takes five features for each locus through alignments between long reads and the reference genome. Next, INSnet uses a depthwise separable convolutional network.
INSnet uses two attention mechanisms, the convolutional block attention module (CBAM) and efficient channel attention (ECA) to extract key alignment features in each sub-region. INSnet uses a gated recurrent unit (GRU) network to further extract more important SV signatures.

□ RGT: a toolbox for the integrative analysis of high throughput regulatory genomics data
>> https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-023-05184-5
Regulatory Genomics Toolbox (RGT) was programmed in an oriented-object fashion and its core classes provided functionalities to handle typical regulatory genomics data: regions and signals.
RGT built distinct regulatory genomics tools, i.e., HINT for footprinting analysis, TDF for finding DNA–RNA triplex, THOR for ChIP-seq differential peak calling, motif analysis for TFBS matching and enrichment, and RGT-viz for regions association tests and data visualization.
THOR is a Hidden Markov Model-based approach to detect and analyze differential peaks in two sets of ChIP-seq data from distinct biological conditions with replicates. Triplex Domain Finder (TDF) characterizes the triplex-forming potential between RNA and DNA regions.

□ containX: Coverage-preserving sparsification of overlap graphs for long-read assembly
>> https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/advance-article/doi/10.1093/bioinformatics/btad124/7074174
ContainX heuristics are promising in terms of improving assembly quality by avoiding coverage gaps. The string graph model filters out contained reads during graph construction.
containX is a prototype implementation of an algorithm that decides which contained reads can be dropped during overlap graph sparsfication. Reads which are substrings of longer reads are typically referred to as contained reads.
Hifiasm retained fewer contained reads than ContainX but it failed to resolve a majority of coverage gaps. The unitig graph of Hifiasm has the least number of junction reads because it does additional graph pruning which is necessary for computing longer unitigs.

>> https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36895025/
LoMA constructs a CS spanning a target region. This process is initiated by finding overlaps of raw reads using pairwise all-to-all alignment of minimap2, followed by a layout of overlapped reads. It divides the layout into multiple blocks to make partial consensus sequences.
LoMA captures haplotype structures based on SVs and produces haplotype-resolved CSs. LoMA predicts heterozygous loci in the region based on the extent of deviation from the binomial distribution, and the reads derived from each estimated haplotype are gathered.

A minimal perfect hash function of canonical k-mers on alphabets of arbitrary size, i.e., a mapping to the interval [0, σk /2−1]. The approach is introduced for canonicalization under reversal and extended to canonicalization under reverse complementation.
The encoding is based on the observation that there are fewer canonical k-mers than there are k-mers in general. A mapping is only required if k-mer x is canonical, i.e., x is lexicographically smaller than or equal to x^−1.

□ fraguracy: overlapping bases in read-pairs from a fragment indicate accuracy.
>> https://github.com/brentp/fraguracy
Many factors can be predictive of the likelihood of an error. The dimensionality is a consideration because if the data is too sparse, prediction is less reliable. For each combination, while iterating over the bam, it stores the number of errors and the number of total bases in each bin.
fraguracy calculates real error rates using overlapping paired-end reads in a fragment. This avoids some bias. It does limit to the (potentially) small percentage of bases that overlap and it will sample less at the beginning of read 1 and the end of read2.

The DeletionID module models the background of a genomic experiment to identify depleted regions of the genome to predict genomic deletions. The StrainID uses existing SNP or variant calls databases of common cell lines to match a cell’s genetic identity inherent to each dataset.
The EpitopeID module identifies the presence and approximate location of specific DNA sequences within the genome. The algorithm functions by first aligning the raw sequencing data (i.e., FASTQ) against a curated DNA sequence database (tagDB) of common protein epitopes.
