Deamination of cytosine and dUMP misincorporation have been found to be capable of producing uracil in the genome. This study presents the AI-seq (artificial incorporation modified nucleobase for sequencing), a "base substitution", which not only is capable of profiling uracil at single-nucleotide resolution and showing its centromeric enrichment but could also reveal that the identified uracil sites are derived from cytosine deamination. All the results indicate the potential biological significance of uracil as the epigenetic modification.

Background: Recent advances in artificial intelligence have facilitated the automatic diagnosis of middle ear diseases using endoscopic tympanic membrane imaging.
Aim: We aimed to develop an automated diagnostic system for middle ear diseases by applying deep learning techniques to tympanic membrane images obtained during routine clinical practice.
Material And Methods: To augment the training dataset, we explored the use of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to produce high-quality synthetic tympanic images that were subsequently added to the training data.

Accurate detection and tracking of dynamic objects are critical for enabling skill demonstration and effective skill generalization in robotic skill learning and application scenarios. To further improve the detection accuracy and tracking speed of the YOLOv8s model in dynamic object tracking tasks, this paper proposes a method to enhance both detection precision and speed based on YOLOv8s architecture. Specifically, a Focused Linear Attention mechanism is introduced into the YOLOv8s backbone network to enhance dynamic object detection accuracy, while the Ghost module is incorporated into the neck network to improve the model's tracking speed for dynamic objects.
