A new study, published in the Open Access journal Biomolecules, presents G2PDeep-v2, a web-based deep learning framework for analysing multi-omics data across diverse organisms.

Biological systems are highly complex and contain several layers of molecular information covering numerous processes. G2PDeep-v2 provides the first web server that allows researchers to bring diverse datasets together into a single model to help predict phenotypes in a range of different organisms.

By identifying patterns in genetic and molecular data, such tools have the potential to support earlier disease risk assessment and improve future healthcare decision-making.

Huge shifts in wildlife and animal demography are seen across the globe as the climate warms.

Researchers from the US Geological Survey shows how an armadillo populations have rapidly expanded across different areas of the US, including Missouri, southern Iowa, Kansas, and more. These findings were obtained with input from participatory science, for example, wildlife observation apps and other open databases.

The Editor’s Choice study was published in the Open Access journal Diversity and showcases the drastic changes in the expansion of the armadillo distribution. This shift may be one example of how animals are impacted by earth's warming temperatures.

COVER STORY: Developed by a consortium of Canadian organizations and experts, this paper outlines strategies to address rising HPV-related cancers like cervical cancer, one of the fastest growing cancers in Canada. Despite school-based programs, Canadian HPV vaccination uptake is only 64%, well below the 90% target needed to eliminate cervical cancer. Canada needs expanded vaccine access, targeted education, and efforts to address inequities in underserved populations.

HPV testing is the preferred screening method and the authors promote HPV self-collection to reduce barriers, especially for marginalized groups. The paper urges investment in comprehensive, population-based registries to track vaccination, screening and follow-up. Strengthening vaccination, HPV testing, self-collection and data systems will support Canada’s goal of eliminating cervical cancer.
