Summary: This study investigates the importance of gene duplication in host-microorganism interaction, specifically in the emergence of the Dickeya genus. The duplication of the ompF gene has been shown to be deleterious to the virulence of Dickeya dadantii and its expression is not triggered by environmental conditions. These findings have significant implications for understanding the molecular mechanisms of bacterial-plant interactions.

Summary: Aeromonas hydrophila infections are common in aquaculture. The two-component system EnvZ/OmpR plays an important role in the intracellular survival of A. hydrophila. Silencing the genes of envZ/ompR significantly decreases the survival rates and escape ability of the bacteria. The two-component system EnvZ/OmpR regulates the expression of molecular chaperones and maintains ion homeostasis to affect the bacterial survival in macrophages.

Summary: Despite facing challenges under multiple degradations, leveraging facial priors can enhance the robustness of FSR methods. The proposed RSemFace framework generates Coarse-SR faces, extracts semantic features as priors, and utilizes Semantic Feature Attention Blocks and Semantic Loss for reconstructing Fine-SR faces, showcasing better content recovery and perceptual quality compared to other methods.

Summary: In the field of single image super-resolution (SISR), deep learning has become the mainstream method. Neural architecture search has been applied to build SISR networks in a non-hand-crafted way, but the existing methods have slow searching speed. To solve this problem, a neural component search (NCS) method is proposed to complete the search of SISR networks at a faster speed.

Summary: In this study, a phylogenetic analysis was proposed to classify biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) into regulatory mechanisms based on protein domain information. The study focused on actinobacterial strains from different environments and found that despite environmental variations, the isolated microorganisms shared similar regulatory mechanisms, suggesting the potential to activate new BGCs using known activators.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel approach called LCUN for single image super-resolution (SISR), which improves both the texture details and lighting of low-resolution images. LCUN utilizes a U-Net for SISR (SRU) to reconstruct super-resolution (SR) images and introduces an Advanced Fusion Block (AFB) and an Intensity Estimation Unit (IEU) to enhance lighting effects and texture details.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel deep neural network framework, PZRes-Net, to efficiently address the problem of hyperspectral image super-resolution. PZRes-Net learns high-resolution and zero-centric residual images, explores coherence across all spectral bands, and outperforms state-of-the-art methods significantly in both quantitative metrics and visual quality in experiments.

Summary: The goal of learning-based image super-resolution is to generate a visually high-resolution image from a low-resolution input image, relying on examples or strong image priors. This paper introduces a self-learning single image SR method that restores high-resolution images from self-examples extracted from the input image itself. The method utilizes multiple linear mappings to improve SR performance.
