Ontologies in modelling and analysing of big genetic data by N. L. Podkolodnyy, O. A. Podkolodnaya, V. A. Ivanisenko, M. A. Marchenko

“…One of the main problems of deep learning is the lack of interpretability, since neural networks often function as “black boxes” unable to explain their decisions. This paper describes approaches to creating methods for interpreting deep learning models and presents two examples of self-explanatory ontology-based deep learning models: (1) Deep GONet, which integrates Gene Ontology into a hierarchical neural network architecture, where each neuron represents a biological function. …”

Effects of Different Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Rates on Soil Microbial Structure in Paddy Soil When Combined with Rice Straw Return by Xiannan Zeng, Qi Wang, Qiulai Song, Quanxi Liang, Yu Sun, Fuqiang Song

“…Metagenomic sequencing of the microbial soil community was used to assess the effect of various nitrogen fertilizer treatments in combination with constant rice straw return to the soil in the tiller layer of Northeast China’s black paddy soil used for rice production. Here, we investigated changes in the composition, diversity, and structure of soil microbial communities in the soil treated with four amounts of nitrogen fertilizers (53, 93, 133, and 173 kg/ha) applied to the soil under a constant straw return of 7500 kg/ha, with a control not receiving N. …”
