Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview

Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles st...

"Among articles stating that data was available upon request, only 17% shared data upon request." (Or: you keep saying these words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean)

Releasing a complete package in microbes, bacterial, phages, metagenome, plant bioinformatics and humans in this. Optimizing this with the Keras and PyTorch and adding RELU based estimates so that a mismatch kmer can be predicted and filled.

@holtjma.bsky.social this is so good. I read the code and thought if implementing a mis-matched kmer approach to train these varisnts for prediction. See a demo code i wrote using XgBoost. I am now writing in C++ and R also for a package on the same. Just finished the same.
