SUMO modification of a heterochromatin histone demethylase JMJD2A enables viral gene transactivation and viral replication. by Wan-Shan Yang, Mel Campbell, Pei-Ching Chang

“…These finding suggest that SUMO-2/3 modification plays an essential role in the epigenetic regulatory function of JMJD2A. Consistently, hierarchical clustering analysis of RNA-seq data showed that a SUMO-deficient mutant of JMJD2A was more closely related to JMJD2A knockdown than to wild-type. …”

NDAWL-PINN: a new non-dimensionalization and multi-task learning approach for efficient training of physics-informed neural networks to solve the shallow water equations by Xin Qi, Dawei Zhang, Fan Wang, Wuxia Bi, Mingda Lu

“…This paper introduces a novel training approach that integrates non-dimensionalization with a multi-task learning technique, termed Automatic Weighted Loss (AWL), to autonomously achieve an optimal balance for each loss function. In the baseline PINN training for solving time-dependent PDEs, multiple weights (usually more than six) must be manually tuned for the model, whereas this method can reduce the number of scaling weights to only one. …”
