Feasibility of Vector Instruction-Set Semantics Using Abstract Monads by De Belen, Arthur Reiner

“…I answer this question with a tentative “yes”, backed by a partial specification in Haskell of a small but nontrivial subset of this vector extension, a translation of the same specification into Coq using hs-to-coq², and work towards demonstrating the utility of this specification.…”

Oct4 switches partnering from Sox2 to Sox17 to reinterpret the enhancer code and specify endoderm by Ng, Calista Keow Leng, Herath, Wishva, Lili, Sun, Hutchins, Andrew P, Robson, Paul, Kolatkar, Prasanna R, Stanton, Lawrence W, Aksoy, Irene, Jauch, Ralf, Chen, Jiaxuan, Dyla, Mateusz, Divakar, Ushashree, Bogu, Gireesh K, Teo, Roy

“…We demonstrate here that genomic redistribution of Oct4 by alternative partnering with Sox2 and Sox17 is a fundamental regulatory event of endodermal specification. We show that Sox17 partners with Oct4 and binds to a unique ‘compressed’ Sox/Oct motif that earmarks endodermal genes. …”
