Improving taxonomic resolution, biomass and abundance assessments of aquatic invertebrates by combining imaging and DNA megabarcoding
Understanding biodiversity change requires a comprehensive assessment of not only the identity of species inhabiting an ecosystem but also their biomass and abundance. However, assessing biodiversity on the species level with precise biomass information is a time-consuming process and thus rarely applied. While DNA-based approaches like DNA barcoding offer precise species identification, they lack information on specimen size and biomass. In contrast, high-throughput imaging techniques enable rapid measurements of a specimen’s size and morphological features but may have low taxonomic resolution. In this study, we combined DNA megabarcoding, i.e., high-throughput barcoding of single specimens, with semi-automated imaging and deep neural networks to produce accurate taxonomic identifications, abundance, and biomass estimations for insects. In a multiple stressor field experiment, we collected a dataset of 743 specimens from 14 species of the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT), which are routinely used as aquatic biological quality indicator taxa. Each specimen was imaged, weighed, and megabarcoded using the COI barcode gene. From the images captured using the semi-automated imaging device BIODISCOVER, we curated a final dataset of 146,439 images taken from two perpendicular cameras. We trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with these pictures for species identification and biomass estimation and evaluated their performance. In addition, we investigated whether models pre-trained for species identification perform better on the biomass estimation task, compared to models trained solely for biomass estimation, thus potentially reducing the need for extensive labelled data in future studies. Our findings demonstrate that combining DNA megabarcoding with automated imaging and deep neural networks enables fast, reliable, but also comprehensive assessment of species composition and biomass on the specimen level, contributing to the urgently needed methods in conservation biology, ecology, and evolution.

Tensor Manipulation Unit (TMU): Reconfigurable, Near-Memory Tensor Manipulation for High-Throughput AI SoC
While recent advances in AI SoC design have focused heavily on accelerating tensor computation, the equally critical task of tensor manipulation, centered on high,volume data movement with minimal computation, remains underexplored. This work addresses that gap by introducing the Tensor Manipulation Unit (TMU), a reconfigurable, near-memory hardware block designed to efficiently execute data-movement-intensive operators. TMU manipulates long datastreams in a memory-to-memory fashion using a RISC-inspired execution model and a unified addressing abstraction, enabling broad support for both coarse- and fine-grained tensor transformations. Integrated alongside a TPU within a high-throughput AI SoC, the TMU leverages double buffering and output forwarding to improve pipeline utilization. Fabricated in SMIC 40nm technology, the TMU occupies only 0.019 mm2 while supporting over 10 representative tensor manipulation operators. Benchmarking shows that TMU alone achieves up to 1413 and 8.54 operator-level latency reduction compared to ARM A72 and NVIDIA Jetson TX2, respectively. When integrated with the in-house TPU, the complete system achieves a 34.6% reduction in end-to-end inference latency, demonstrating the effectiveness and scalability of reconfigurable tensor manipulation in modern AI SoCs.

Charles PlessyFour years after publishing my work on machine-driven parameter screen of biochemical reactions, it still has zero citations. That makes me sad; I am really proud of this work. So I asked ChatGPT to suggest me hashtags, for another chance to reach readers. https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/48/7/e37/5728495 #MolecularBiology #BiochemicalReactions #ReverseTranscription #RNASequencing #LabAutomation #GeneExpression #SingleCellAnalysis #HighThroughput #AIinScience #ComputationalBiology #BiotechInnovation #DataDrivenResearch
Arjan BoltjesImpressive new work by Moravec et al. in Nature Biotechnology, sadly not open source. "... a #HighThroughput personalized #TCR discovery pipeline ..." with which they "...identified dozens of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell-derived TCRs with potent tumor reactivity, including TCRs that recognized patient-specific #neoantigens."
