Feature importance network reveals novel functional relationships between biological features in Arabidopsis thaliana by Ng, Jonathan Wei Xiong, Chua, Swee Kwang, Mutwil, Marek

“…Here, we constructed a dataset of 11,801 gene features for 31,522 Arabidopsis thaliana genes and developed a machine learning workflow to identify linked features. The detected linked features are visualised as a Feature Important Network (FIN), which can be mined to reveal a variety of novel biological insights pertaining to gene function. …”

Topological phenomena at defects in acoustic, photonic and solid-state lattices by Lin, Zhi-Kang, Wang, Qiang, Liu, Yang, Xue, Haoran, Zhang, Baile, Chong, Yidong, Jiang, Jian-Hua

“…Topological lattice defects in topological materials offer a platform to explore a diverse range of phenomena, such as robust topological-bound states, fractional charges, topological Wannier cycles, chiral and gravitational anomalies, topological lasers and topological-defect-induced pumping and non-Hermitian skin effects. In this Perspective article, we survey the developments in this rapidly moving field from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, with an emphasis on the latter. …”
