Background: Three-dimensional (3D) imaging mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical chemistry technique for the 3D molecular analysis of a tissue specimen, entire organ, or microbial colonies on an agar plate. 3D-imaging MS has unique advantages over existing 3D imaging techniques, offers novel perspectives for understanding the spatial organization of biological processes, and has growing potential to be introduced into routine use in both biology and medicine. Owing to the sheer quantity of data generated, the visualization, analysis, and interpretation of 3D imaging MS data remain a significant challenge. Bioinformatics research in this field is hampered by the lack of publicly available benchmark datasets needed to evaluate and compare algorithms.
Findings: High-quality 3D imaging MS datasets from different biological systems at several labs were acquired, supplied with overview images and scripts demonstrating how to read them, and deposited into MetaboLights, an open repository for metabolomics data. 3D imaging MS data were collected from five samples using two types of 3D imaging MS. 3D matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging (MALDI) MS data were collected from murine pancreas, murine kidney, human oral squamous cell carcinoma, and interacting microbial colonies cultured in Petri dishes. 3D desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) imaging MS data were collected from a human colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Conclusions: With the aim to stimulate computational research in the field of computational 3D imaging MS, selected high-quality 3D imaging MS datasets are provided that could be used by algorithm developers as benchmark datasets.

The increasingly widespread application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in clinical diagnostics and epidemiological research has generated a demand for robust, fast, automated, and user-friendly bioinformatics workflows. To guide the choice of tools for the assembly of full-length viral genomes from NGS datasets, we assessed the performance and applicability of four open-source bioinformatics pipelines (shiver-for which we created a user-friendly Dockerized version, referred to as dshiver; SmaltAlign; viral-ngs; and V-pipe) using both simulated and real-world HIV-1 paired-end short-read datasets and default settings. All four pipelines produced consensus genome assemblies with high quality metrics (genome fraction recovery, mismatch and indel rates, variant calling F1 scores) when the reference sequence used for assembly had high similarity to the analyzed sample.

Human action recognition using WiFi channel state information (CSI) has gained attention due to its non-intrusive nature and potential applications in healthcare, smart environments, and security. However, the reliability of methods developed for CSI-based action recognition is often contingent on the quality of the datasets and evaluation protocols used. In this paper, we uncovered a critical data leakage issue, which arises from improper data partitioning, in a widely used WiFi CSI benchmark dataset.

Despite the accuracy and robustness attained in the field of object tracking, algorithms based on Siamese neural networks often over-rely on information from the initial frame, neglecting necessary updates to the template; furthermore, in prolonged tracking situations, such methodologies encounter challenges in efficiently addressing issues such as complete occlusion or instances where the target exits the frame. To tackle these issues, this study enhances the SiamRPN algorithm by integrating the convolutional block attention module (CBAM), which enhances spatial channel attention. Additionally, it integrates the kernelized correlation filters (KCFs) for enhanced feature template representation.

Anomaly detection is critical in safety-sensitive fields, but faces challenges from scarce abnormal data and costly expert labeling. Time series anomaly detection is relatively challenging due to its reliance on sequential data, which imposes high computational and memory costs. In particular, it is often composed of real-time collected data that tends to be noisy, making preprocessing an essential step.
