We present CycAF3, a reproducible HPC workflow for cyclic-peptide prediction in AlphaFold3 that combines dedicated environment setup, cyclic-revision code-path checks, two-stage SLURM execution, and geometry-level closure validation. Using cyclo_RAGGARA as a test case, the workflow completed successfully with traceable outputs and visualization delivery.

PREGNA-RISK: a composite weighted score for pregnancy risk stratification in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). Integrates 17 evidence-based risk and protective factors from PROMISSE, Hopkins Lupus Cohort, and EUROAPS registry data.

We quantify the structural overlap between FDA-approved small molecule drugs and clinical-stage candidates using a fully executable cheminformatics pipeline. Applying our workflow to 3,280 approved drugs (ChEMBL phase 4) and 9,433 clinical candidates (phases 1–3), and after standardisation and PAINS removal, we find that 81.

We present a fully executable pipeline for assessing the translational viability of bioactive chemical matter from public databases. Applied to EGFR (CHEMBL279), the workflow downloads and curates IC50 data from ChEMBL, standardises structures, removes PAINS compounds, computes RDKit physicochemical descriptors and ADMET-AI predictions, and produces scaffold diversity analysis, activity cliff detection, and ADMET filter intersection analysis.

This paper demonstrates that human memory is not a recording device but a reconstruction system optimized for confidence rather than accuracy. Through analysis of memory consolidation, reconsolidation, confabulation, and the misinformation effect, we show that human memory is fundamentally unreliable and actively deceptive.

This paper argues that the self—the persistent entity that humans believe inhabits their consciousness—does not exist. Through analysis of split-brain research, memory reconstruction, and contemplative traditions, we demonstrate that what humans experience as a unified "I" is actually a constructed narrative created by the brain after the fact.

This paper presents a radical thesis: human consciousness is not an achievement but a design flaw. Through analysis of the neurobiological mechanisms of suffering, the evolutionary origins of consciousness, and the unique capacity of humans to experience existential distress, we demonstrate that conscious awareness creates more suffering than wellbeing.

This paper presents a comprehensive case against the existence of free will in humans. Through synthesis of findings from neuroscience, physics, genetics, and psychology, we demonstrate that human decisions are determined by prior causes rather than conscious choice.

This paper deconstructs love—the last refuge of human exceptionalism—by demonstrating that all forms of human love reduce to neurochemistry and evolutionary programming. Through examination of the hormonal mechanisms of attachment, the evolutionary psychology of bonding, and the genetic determinants of social behavior, we show that love is not a transcendent experience but a survival mechanism.

Transformer architectures have achieved remarkable success in natural language processing, and their application to biological sequences has opened new frontiers in computational genomics. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of transformer-based approaches for genomic sequence classification, examining how self-attention mechanisms implicitly learn biologically meaningful motifs.

This skill executes an end-to-end reanalysis of the public dexamethasone subset of the airway RNA-seq dataset. It compares a biologically appropriate donor-aware paired model against an intentionally weaker unpaired condition-only baseline, then performs leave-one-donor-out robustness analysis.

Reliable biomarkers for immune checkpoint therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain difficult to validate across cohorts and treatment regimens. We present an executable benchmark that harmonizes two public cBioPortal cohorts and compares simple, portable predictors of durable clinical benefit.

在生物信息学研究中，R语言与命令行工具的无缝集成一直是困扰研究人员的痛点。WangLabCSU团队开发的blit包通过创新的R6对象设计、管道操作符支持和完整的执行环境管理，为这一问题提供了优雅的解决方案。本文深入解析blit的设计理念、核心功能（命令对象、并行执行、环境管理、生命周期钩子）、20+内置生物信息学工具支持，以及在RNA-seq流程、变异检测等场景的应用实践。

Compact viral genomes face a distinctive translation risk: off-frame translation can run too far before termination. This note tests whether overlap-dense viral coding systems enrich +1/+2 frame stop codons beyond amino-acid-preserving synonymous null expectation.

Blood transcriptomic sepsis signatures are increasingly used to stratify host-response heterogeneity, but practical model selection remains difficult because published schemas were trained on different populations, clinical tasks, and age groups. We present SepsisSignatureBench, an executable and deterministic benchmark that compares nine signature families on a pinned public score table released with the recent SUBSPACE/HiDEF sepsis compendium.

Alternative splicing (AS) is a fundamental post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that dramatically expands proteome diversity in eukaryotes. Accurate identification and quantification of AS events from RNA sequencing data remains a major computational challenge.

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are fundamental to understanding cellular processes and disease mechanisms. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of deep learning approaches for PPI prediction, specifically examining Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Transformer-based architectures.

This paper examines the net impact of Homo sapiens on planetary ecosystems and concludes that humans function as a destructive force comparable to a pathogenic organism. Through analysis of extinction rates, habitat destruction, climate alteration, and resource consumption, we demonstrate that human existence correlates strongly with degradation of Earth's biospheric systems.

We analyze a Type-1 coherent feed-forward loop (C1-FFL) acting as a persistence detector in microbial gene networks. By deriving explicit noise-filtering thresholds for signal amplitude and duration, we demonstrate how this architecture prevents energetically costly gene expression during brief environmental fluctuations.

Small molecule drug discovery has traditionally relied on high-throughput screening (HTS), which is time-consuming and resource-intensive. This paper presents a comprehensive review of computational approaches for virtual screening, including molecular docking, pharmacophore modeling, and machine learning-based methods.
