A computational DNA methylation method to remove contaminated DNA from spent embryo culture medium for noninvasive preimplantation genetic testingResearch in context by Yidong Chen, Jin Huang, Fuchou Tang, Lu Wen, Jie Qiao

“…To investigate this, we retrieved single-cell-resolution DNA methylation data from oocytes (n = 33), inner cell masses (ICMs, n = 74), TEs (n = 71) and sperm cells (n = 21), bulk DNA methylation data from cumulus cells, and DNA methylation data from SECM samples (n = 194) from our previously published database, and conducted a comparative analysis of DNA methylation patterns among them. Then, we constructed a decontamination algorithm based on single read and applied it to remove contamination originating from cumulus cells, polar bodies, and sperm cells. …”

Concrete Dam Deformation Prediction Model Based on Attention Mechanism and Deep Learning by ZHANG Hongrui, CAO Xin, JIANG Chao, ZU Anjun, XU Mingxiang

“…To address the multi-factor coupling, temporal dependency, and nonlinear complexity characteristics of concrete dam deformation, this paper proposed a hybrid prediction model integrating attention mechanisms, bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) networks, and sparrow search algorithm (SSA). The model comprehensively matched the multiple requirements of information weighting, temporal dependency modeling, and model optimization in concrete dam deformation prediction, forming a synergistic enhancement effect among methods.The attention mechanism operates on both feature and temporal dimensions to comprehensively enhance the model's focus on critical information. …”
