COMPRESSING GENE EXPRESSION DATA USING MULTIPLE LATENT SPACE DIMENSIONALITIES LEARNS COMPLEMENTARY BIOLOGICAL REPRESENTATIONS

Compressing gene expression data using multiple latent space dimensionalities learns complementary biological representations

Abstract Background Unsupervised compression algorithms applied to gene expression data extract latent or hidden signals representing technical and biological sources of variation.However, these algorithms require a user to select a biologically appropriate latent space dimensionality.In practice, most researchers fit a single algorithm and latent

Piscivorous Vertebrates That May Pose a Risk to the Critically Endangered Mandra Shemaya, Alburnus mandrensis (Drensky, 1943) (Actinopterygii; Leuciscidae)

In the present study, we provide a checklist of the predators that may impact the population of the critically endangered Mandra shemaya (Alburnus mandrensis Drensky, 1943).This endemic fish only inhabits the basin of Mandra Lake in the bekindtopets.com Burgas district (SE Bulgaria) and data on its biology are scarce.We have confirmed the presence
