Here, we comprehensively evaluated the ability of existing (CADD, FATHMM-XF, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, SIFT, PhyloP100, APF, APF2) and novel (PharmGScore and PharmMLScore) variant effect predictors to assess pharmacogenetic alleles in multiple scenarios. Altogether we analyzed 541 PharmVar alleles, high‑throughput CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 mutational maps, and 200 642 UK Biobank exomes linked with health records containing antidepressant treatment outcomes. Many evaluated tools, especially ensemble frameworks, matched or exceeded star allele classifications (ROC‑AUC up to 0.85 for allele definitions, 0.95 in vitro; TPR up to 0.99 for exomes) and accurately predicted severe antidepressant adverse events for carriers of deleterious variants in CYP2C19 (OR 1.20–1.35). Our findings show that computational predictors deliver star allele accuracy while overcoming their limitations. With additional validation, computational tools could enhance clinical decision frameworks by enabling continuous scoring, incorporating previously unknown variants, and providing genome-wide applicability."}],"intvolume":"        26","issue":"2","date_created":"2026-03-29T22:07:08Z","type":"journal_article","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","_id":"21503","ddc":["570"]},{"publication_status":"published","publication":"Molecular Cell","oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"OA_place":"publisher","acknowledgement":"We thank D.

Using ensemble and single-molecule assays combined with cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), we studied the interaction between pioneer TFs OCT4–SOX2 and the human BRG1/BRM-associated factor (BAF) complex on nucleosomes. BAF engages TF-bound substrates in two orientations, placing OCT4–SOX2 at either the remodeler ENTRY or EXIT site. At the ENTRY site, OCT4–SOX2 initially coexists with BAF without structural interference. However, continued DNA translocation is expected to cause collisions with bound TFs, which can trigger remodeling direction reversals or may induce TF dissociation. To accommodate TFs at the EXIT site, BAF undergoes structural rearrangements, and ensemble assays reveal a nucleosome subpopulation translocating away from TF-binding sites. Moreover, single-molecule experiments show that nucleosome-bound BAF frequently changes remodeling direction, and we identify an ADP-bound remodeler conformation as a potential intermediate. Together, these findings reveal key aspects of the conformational dynamics and remodeling outcomes underlying BAF processing of TF-bound nucleosomes.","lang":"eng"}],"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","doi":"10.1016/j.molcel.2026.01.021","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1097-2765"]},"date_updated":"2026-03-30T12:09:08Z","issue":"4","PlanS_conform":"1","intvolume":"        86","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","_id":"21509","ddc":["570"],"date_created":"2026-03-30T11:58:48Z","page":"625-639.e8","type":"journal_article","citation":{"apa":"Weiss, J., Vecchia, L., Domjan, D., Cavadini, S., Sabantsev, A., Kempf, G., … Thomä, N.

In parallel, advances in nanophotonics have enabled wavefront control through metasurfaces, a capability that has transformed fields such as microscopy by allowing tailored control of optical propagation. This naturally raises the following question, which we address in this Perspective: can wavefront-control strategies be leveraged to improve scintillation-based imaging? To answer this question, we explore nanophotonic- and metasurface-enabled wavefront control in scintillators to mitigate image blurring arising from their intrinsically diffuse light emission. While depth-of-field extension in scintillation faces fundamental limitations absent in microscopy, this approach reveals promising avenues, including stacked scintillators, selective spatial-frequency enhancement, and X-ray energy-dependent imaging. These results clarify the key distinctions in adapting wavefront engineering to scintillation and its potential to enable tailored detection strategies."}],"date_published":"2026-03-01T00:00:00Z","title":"Wavefront engineering for scintillation-based imaging","date_updated":"2026-05-05T07:53:27Z","doi":"10.1021/acsphotonics.5c03124","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2330-4022"]},"oa_version":"Preprint","year":"2026","OA_type":"green","quality_controlled":"1","author":[{"last_name":"Chen","first_name":"Joshua","full_name":"Chen, Joshua"},{"last_name":"Vaidya","first_name":"Sachin","full_name":"Vaidya, Sachin"},{"last_name":"Pajovic","first_name":"Simo","full_name":"Pajovic, Simo"},{"full_name":"Choi, Seou","first_name":"Seou","last_name":"Choi"},{"full_name":"Michaels, William","last_name":"Michaels","first_name":"William"},{"first_name":"Louis","last_name":"Martin-Monier","full_name":"Martin-Monier, Louis"},{"full_name":"Hu, Juejun","first_name":"Juejun","last_name":"Hu"},{"full_name":"Cogswell, Carol","last_name":"Cogswell","first_name":"Carol"},{"last_name":"Roques-Carmes","first_name":"Charles","full_name":"Roques-Carmes, Charles","id":"e2e68fc9-6505-11ef-a541-eb4e72cc3e82"},{"first_name":"Marin","last_name":"Soljačić","full_name":"Soljačić, Marin"}],"citation":{"mla":"Chen, Joshua, et al. “Wavefront Engineering for Scintillation-Based Imaging.” <i>ACS Photonics</i>, vol. 13, no. 7, American Chemical Society, 2026, pp. 1757–1766, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsphotonics.5c03124\">10.1021/acsphotonics.5c03124</a>.","short":"J.

The presence of non-Hermiticity leads to many topological physics phenomena and device applications. In the non-Hermitian energy band theory, the foundation of these physics and applications, both energies and wave vectors take complex values. The energy bands thus become a Riemann surface, and such an energy-band Riemann surface underlies all important signatures of non-Hermitian topology. Despite a long history and recent theoretical interests, the energy-band Riemann surface has not been experimentally studied. Here, we provide a photonic observation of the energy-band Riemann surface of a non-Hermitian system. This is achieved by a tunable imaginary gauge transformation in photonic synthetic frequency dimensions. From measured topologies of the Riemann surface, we reveal the complex-energy winding, the open-boundary-condition spectrum, the generalized Brillouin zone, and the branch points. Our findings demonstrate a unified framework in the studies of diverse effects in non-Hermitian topological physics through an experimental observation of energy-band Riemann surfaces.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Experimental observation of energy-band Riemann surface","date_published":"2026-03-18T00:00:00Z","intvolume":"        12","issue":"12","type":"journal_article","date_created":"2026-03-30T12:22:48Z","_id":"21583","article_processing_charge":"No","arxiv":1},{"_id":"21651","ddc":["000"],"article_processing_charge":"No","type":"dissertation","date_created":"2026-04-02T09:31:34Z","corr_author":"1","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Blockchains enable distributed consensus in permissionless settings, where participants\r\nare unknown, dynamically changing, and do not trust each other.

Our analysis focuses on tropical precipitation characteristics spanning a wide range of spatio-temporal scales—including the diurnal cycle, extreme precipitation, convective organization, and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO)—along with interactions between convection and the thermodynamic environment. All three models commonly show weaker convective organization with smaller precipitation cells than observed, though the strength of the bias varies by model. This diversity is introduced by differences in the representation of (a) convective initiation affected by the convective sensitivity to moisture and (b) tropospheric moistening associated with deep convection. Models with stronger thermodynamic-convection coupling increase environmental moisture near convection, thereby enhancing convective organization. This has important upscale effects on the MJO; while IFS and NICAM capture its eastward propagation well, ICON has difficulty reproducing it. The amplitudes and phases of precipitation diurnal cycles over land show much greater disagreement among the models than over ocean, influenced by how convection is initiated. Biases in rain evaporation and cold pool formation hinder the propagation of mesoscale convection, leading to errors such as the misrepresentation of nocturnal convection moving off the coast of Sumatra in IFS and ICON. These results highlight the importance of thermodynamic-convection coupling in realistically simulating tropical convection across scales. To improve this coupling, kilometer-scale models require better representation of the interaction between resolved convection and three-dimensional turbulent mixing.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Precipitation characteristics and thermodynamic-convection coupling in global kilometer-scale simulations","date_published":"2026-03-01T00:00:00Z","acknowledgement":"We thank Peter Bechtold, Lukas Brunner, Peter Dueben, Richard Forbes, Estibaliz Gascon, and Benoit Vanniere for providing insightful comments on the present study.

We map how interaction strength, lattice depth, lattice wave number, and pulse duration reshape the diffraction pattern, leading to an interaction-dependent population redistribution in real and momentum space. By comparing the exact dynamics to an impulsive sudden-approximation description, we delineate the parameter regimes where it remains accurate and those, notably at strong attraction and small lattice wave number, where it fails.

Popular algorithms are policy iteration and variants of value iteration; in tool competitions, most participants rely on the latter. These algorithms generally need worst-case exponential time. However, the problem can equally be formulated as a linear programme, solvable in polynomial time. In this paper, we give a detailed overview of today’s state-of-the-art algorithms for MDP model checking with a focus on performance and correctness. We highlight their fundamental differences, and describe various optimizations and implementation variants. We experimentally compare floating-point and exact-arithmetic implementations of all algorithms on three benchmark sets using two probabilistic model checkers. Our results show that (optimistic) value iteration is a sensible default, but other algorithms are preferable in specific settings. This paper thereby provides a guide for MDP verification practitioners—tool builders and users alike.","lang":"eng"}]},{"doi":"10.48550/arXiv.2601.09830","status":"public","scopus_import":"1","date_updated":"2026-04-13T11:26:08Z","date_published":"2026-01-14T00:00:00Z","day":"14","title":"Wavefront engineering for scintillation-based imaging","abstract":[{"text":"Recent research in nanophotonics for scintillation-based imaging has demonstrated promising improvements in scintillator performance. In parallel, advances in nanophotonics have enabled wavefront control through metasurfaces, a capability that has transformed fields such as microscopy by allowing tailored control of optical propagation. This naturally raises the following question, which we address in this perspective: can wavefront-control strategies be leveraged to improve scintillation-based imaging? To answer this question, we explore nanophotonic- and metasurface-enabled wavefront control in scintillators to mitigate image blurring arising from their intrinsically diffuse light emission. While depth-of-field extension in scintillation faces fundamental limitations absent in microscopy, this approach reveals promising avenues, including stacked scintillators, selective spatial-frequency enhancement, and X-ray energy-dependent imaging. These results clarify the key distinctions in adapting wavefront engineering to scintillation and its potential to enable tailored detection strategies.","lang":"eng"}],"month":"01","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","main_file_link":[{"url":" https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2601.09830","open_access":"1"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2601.09830"]},"publication":"arXiv","citation":{"chicago":"Chen, Joshua, Sachin Vaidya, Simo Pajovic, Seou Choi, William Michaels, Louis Martin-Monier Louis Martin-Monier, Juejun Hu, Carol Cogswell, Charles Roques-Carmes, and Marin Soljačić. “Wavefront Engineering for Scintillation-Based Imaging.” <i>ArXiv</i>, n.d. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2601.09830\">https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2601.09830</a>.","ama":"Chen J, Vaidya S, Pajovic S, et al.

Applied strain has attracted particular attention as a key tuning parameter for altermagnets. Although several experimental studies have demonstrated the preparation of single-domain states through a combination of applied strain and magnetic field, the route to such states remains unclear. Here, we use magneto-optical measurements on single crystals of MnTe under applied strain to show that, in contrast to previous reports, strain acts primarily to rotate the Néel vector L continuously. Since the orientation of L determines the magnetic point group symmetry, this continuous rotation effectively tunes the symmetry and its associated physical properties. Furthermore, we demonstrate that built-in strain in free-standing crystals is sufficient to pin L into continuous textures over millimeter length scales. Together, these results provide guidance for future device design and open the door to leveraging the Néel vector orientation as a tunable degree of freedom in spintronic applications.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-04-08T00:00:00Z","day":"08","title":"Strain continuously rotates the Néel vector in altermagnetic MnTe"},{"month":"04","department":[{"_id":"UlWa"}],"external_id":{"pmid":["41915737"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","volume":123,"citation":{"short":"L.H.

However, this question is understudied in part because experimental and computational studies use extant sequences as a starting point to study sequence space. Here, we study whether extant sequences are representative of the entire functional sequence space. Across thousands of protein families from vertebrates and bacteria we calculate the dimensionality and the volume of sequence space occupied by extant homologs. We find that the observed dimensionality and volume of extant sequence space are minuscule, many orders of magnitude smaller than what we estimated using a model of protein evolution. Simulating sequence evolution we then quantify the impact of phylogeny, selection, and epistasis on restricting the evolutionary exploration of sequence space. We find that sequence evolution from a single common ancestor, or a single point of origin in sequence space, is by far the largest limiting factor that reduces the dimensionality and volume of extant sequence space. These results indicate that there are vast areas of functional sequence space that have not been explored in evolution because of the excessive restrictions on natural exploration of the protein sequence space imposed by the point of origin effect. We suggest that protein design methods that rely on extant sequences may be limited in their ability to discover truly novel functions."}],"intvolume":"       123","issue":"14","page":"e2532018123","date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:47Z","type":"journal_article","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","ddc":["570"],"_id":"21704"},{"month":"04","department":[{"_id":"IlCa"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2601.07925"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","volume":1000,"citation":{"ista":"Chickles ET, Chakraborty J, Burdge KB, Dhillon VS, Draghis P, El-Badry K, Green MJ, Householder A, Hughes S, Layden C, Littlefair SP, Munday J, Pelisoli I, Redden MS, Tonry J, van Roestel JC, Angile FE, Brown AJ, Segura NC, Dinsmore J, Dyer M, Furesz G, Gabutti M, Garbutt J, García-Mejía J, Jarvis D, Kennedy MR, Kerry P, Mccormac J, Mo G, Osip D, Parsons S, Pike E, Piotrowski JJ, Romani RW, Sahman D, Simcoe R. 2026.

Follow-up with the Large Lenslet Array Magellan Spectrograph shows a helium-dominated accretion disk, and high-speed ULTRACAM photometry reveals pronounced primary and secondary eclipses. We construct a decade-long timing baseline leveraging light curves from the ATLAS and Gaia surveys, as well as the high-speed imagers ULTRACAM on the New Energy Telescope and proto-Lightspeed on the Magellan Clay telescope. From this timing baseline, we measure an orbital period derivative of P 1.60 0.07 10 = ± × 12 s s−1. Interpreted in the context of stable mass transfer, the magnitude and sign of P indicate that the orbital evolution is governed by the interplay between gravitationalwave-driven angular-momentum losses and mass transfer, directly probing the donor’s structural response to mass loss. We constrain the accretor and donor mass based on stable mass-transfer arguments assuming angularmomentum loss dominated by gravitational-wave emission, allowing us to infer the characteristic gravitational\r\nwave strain of the binary for future space-based GW observatories such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We predict a characteristic strain corresponding to a 4 yr LISA signal-to-noise ratio ≳10, establishing ATLAS J1013−4516 as a strong prospective LISA source that will probe long-term orbital evolution in the mass-transferring regime.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":"      1000","issue":"2","date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:47Z","type":"journal_article","article_processing_charge":"Yes","arxiv":1,"_id":"21705","ddc":["520"]},{"author":[{"full_name":"Markovitsch, Johann W.","last_name":"Markovitsch","first_name":"Johann W."},{"full_name":"Mitić, Daniel","first_name":"Daniel","last_name":"Mitić"},{"last_name":"Del Pilar Jiménez García","first_name":"Alisa","full_name":"Del Pilar Jiménez García, Alisa"},{"last_name":"Zane","first_name":"Alsberga","orcid":"0009-0003-0415-7603","full_name":"Zane, Alsberga","id":"60f7509a-f652-11ea-9d86-b963d6490d7c"},{"full_name":"Kainz, Sarah","first_name":"Sarah","last_name":"Kainz"},{"full_name":"Kaur, Rashmit","first_name":"Rashmit","last_name":"Kaur"},{"full_name":"Hummel, Thomas","last_name":"Hummel","first_name":"Thomas"}],"quality_controlled":"1","file_date_updated":"2026-05-04T09:16:36Z","oa_version":"Published Version","article_number":"eaea6020","year":"2026","OA_type":"gold","has_accepted_license":"1","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"file":[{"file_id":"21786","checksum":"3eed470fe73e53d2a8d55d6fba6934e3","file_size":11101140,"access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","file_name":"2026_ScienceAdv_Markovitsch.pdf","date_updated":"2026-05-04T09:16:36Z","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2026-05-04T09:16:36Z","relation":"main_file","success":1}],"publisher":"American Association for the Advancement of Science","scopus_import":"1","status":"public","day":"27","article_type":"original","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","volume":12,"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"},{"_id":"GradSch"}],"month":"03","citation":{"ista":"Markovitsch JW, Mitić D, Del Pilar Jiménez García A, Zane A, Kainz S, Kaur R, Hummel T. 2026.

How neuronal left-right asymmetry is initiated and integrated into a bilaterally symmetrical ground pattern is poorly understood. Here, we show that the directional asymmetry of a Drosophila central brain circuit originates from axonal interactions of two types of bilateral pioneer neurons. Subsequent recruitment of neighboring neurons into the asymmetric neuropil primordium results in hemisphere-specific microcircuits. Circuit lateralization requires dynamic expression of the cell adhesion molecule Fasciclin 2 to maintain structural plasticity in axonal remodeling. Reduced circuit asymmetry following cell type–specific Fasciclin 2 manipulation affects adult brain function. These results reveal an unexpected degree of developmental plasticity of late-born Drosophila neurons in the formation of a circuit node via the lateralized recruitment of symmetric circuit components.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2026-03-27T00:00:00Z","title":"Sequential formation of Drosophila circuit asymmetry via prolonged structural plasticity","acknowledgement":"We thank I.

The GLOF also destroyed 13 bridges and a major hydropower plant in the Chungthang region. Over 60,000 individuals in four districts of Sikkim were impacted by this GLOF event. This study examines the factors that led to the GLOF event. Our study shows that the cause of this GLOF was initiated by a landslide, that dumped a substantial amount (~ 38.31 million m3) of debris into the South Lhonak Lake. Furthermore, the glacier that was connected to the lake, lost a big chunk of ice mass (~ 7 million m3) due to calving. The combination of these two processes led to the collapse of the left lateral moraine that consequently generated flood waves which breached the terminal moraine dam of the lake. We recommend monitoring land subsidence and calving events for large proglacial lakes to prevent the disastrous consequences of such GLOFs in the future.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2045-2322"]},"doi":"10.1038/s41598-026-35895-7","date_updated":"2026-05-04T07:54:53Z","corr_author":"1","intvolume":"        16","article_processing_charge":"Yes","ddc":["550"],"_id":"21708","date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:48Z","type":"journal_article","citation":{"ista":"Mohanty LK, GANTAYAT P, Dixit A, Das Adhikari M, Biswas R, Singh VK. 2026.

Key questions are how LRDs connect to standard UV-luminous AGN, whether transitional phases exist, and whether they are observable. We present the “X-ray dot” (XRD), a compact source at z = 3.28 observed by the NIRSpec Wide Guaranteed Time Observation survey. The XRD exhibits LRD hallmarks: a blackbody-like (Teff ≃ 6400 K) red continuum, a faint but blue rest-UV excess, falling mid-IR emission, and broad Balmer lines (FWHM ∼ 2700–3200 km s−1). Unlike LRDs, however, it is remarkably X-ray luminous (L2−10 keV = 1044.18 erg s−1) and has a continuum inflection that is blueward of the Balmer limit. We find that the red rest-optical and blue mid-IR continuum cannot be reproduced by standard dust-attenuated AGN models without invoking extremely steep extinction curves, nor can the weak mid-IR emission be reconciled with well-established X-ray–torus scaling relations. We therefore consider an alternative scenario: the XRD may be an LRD in transition, where the gas envelope dominates the optical continuum but optically thin sight lines allow X-rays to escape. The XRD may thus provide a physical link between LRDs and standard AGN, offering direct evidence that LRDs are powered by supermassive black holes and providing insight into their accretion properties."}],"acknowledgement":"We would like to thank the anonymous reviewer for their constructive comments, which improved the final manuscript.\r\n\r\nWe thank Bernd Husemann for his critical contributions to the NIRSpec Wide GTO survey, and in particular his help in selecting high-priority X-ray-luminous targets.\r\n\r\nR.E.H. acknowledges support by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) through program 50OR2403 “RUBIES.” A.d.G. acknowledges support from a Clay Fellowship awarded by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
