Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in the regulation of gene expression and maintenance of genomic integrity through various interactions with DNA, RNA, and proteins. The availability of large-scale sequence data from various high-throughput platforms has opened possibilities to identify, predict, and functionally annotate lncRNAs. As a result, there is a growing demand for an integrative computational framework capable of identifying known lncRNAs, predicting novel lncRNAs, and inferring the downstream regulatory interactions of lncRNAs at the genome-scale.

Strong anthropogenic emissions in and around urban environments enhance surface ozone pollution impacting the human health and vegetation adversely. However, observations are often scarce and the factors driving ozone variability remain uncertain in the developing regions of the world.

While current methods are chiefly applied to generate event-inventories, whereas multi-temporal (MT) inventories are rare, even using manual landslide mapping. Here, we present an innovative deep learning strategy which employs transfer learning that allows for the Attention Deep Supervision Multi-Scale U-Net model to be adapted for landslide detection tasks in new areas.

Background: Providing preconception care through healthcare workers at the primary health care level is a crucial intervention to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes, consequently reducing neonatal mortality. Despite the availability of evidence, this window of opportunity remains unaddressed in many countries, including India. The public health care system is primarily accessed by rural and tribal Indian population.
