blast2galaxy: a CLI and Python API for BLAST+ and DIAMOND searches on Galaxy servers Open
Motivation The Galaxy workflow system is an open-source platform supporting data-intensive research in life sciences, featuring a user-friendly web interface for complex analyses without extensive programming. It also offers a representati…

Dataset for: Adverse effects induced by chronic gamma irradiation in progeny of adult fish not affecting parental reproductive performance Open
Multigenerational studies has become of great interest in ecotoxicology since the consequence of parental exposure to contaminants on offspring generations was established in situ or in laboratory conditions. This study mainly examined the…

Static and fatigue behavior of hydraulic components produced by different additive manufacturing processes Open
This study focuses on hydraulic components' behavior to significant pressure loads both in static and fatigue conditions. This hydraulic block commonly used on large machines (earthmoving, mining, agriculture…) was initially designed to be…

Dependence of perceptual saccadic suppression on peri-saccadic image flow properties and luminance contrast polarity Open
Perceptual detectability of brief visual stimuli is strongly diminished across saccades. Recent work showed that this perceptual suppression phenomenon is jumpstarted in the retina (Idrees et al., 2020), suggesting that the phenomenon migh…

Dependence of perceptual saccadic suppression on peri-saccadic image flow properties and luminance contrast polarity Open
Across saccades, perceptual detectability of brief visual stimuli is strongly diminished. We recently observed that this perceptual suppression phenomenon is jumpstarted in the retina, suggesting that the phenomenon might be significantly …

Visual properties of human retinal ganglion cells Open
The retinal output is the sole source of visual information for the brain. Studies in non-primate mammals estimate that this information is carried by several dozens of retinal ganglion cell types, each informing the brain about different …

Different contrast encoding in ON and OFF visual pathways Open
Subjective visual experience builds on sensory encoding of light reflected by different objects in our environment. Most retinal ganglion cells encode changes in light intensity, quantified as contrast, rather than the absolute intensity. …

Suppression without inhibition: How retinal computation contributes to saccadic suppression Open
Visual perception remains stable across saccadic eye movements, despite the concurrent strongly disruptive visual flow. This stability is partially associated with a reduction in visual sensitivity, known as saccadic suppression, which alr…

Perceptual saccadic suppression starts in the retina Open
Visual sensitivity, probed through perceptual detectability of very brief visual stimuli, is strongly impaired around the time of rapid eye movements. This robust perceptual phenomenon, called saccadic suppression, is frequently attributed…

<i>Kmasker plants</i> – a tool for assessing complex sequence space in plant species Open
Summary Many plant genomes display high levels of repetitive sequences. The assembly of these complex genomes using short high‐throughput sequence reads is still a challenging task. Underestimation or disregard of repeat complexity in thes…

Selective peri-saccadic suppression of low spatial frequencies is a visual phenomenon Open
Visual sensitivity is strongly impaired around saccades, a phenomenon known as saccadic suppression. This robust phenomenon does not constitute a mere global suppression, but instead shows selectivity for low spatial frequencies, which has…

The contrast sensitivity function of a small cryptobenthic marine fish Open
Spatial resolution is a key property of eyes when it comes to understanding how animals' visual signals are perceived. This property can be robustly estimated by measuring the contrast sensitivity as a function of different spatial frequen…

Alteration of the microsaccadic velocity-amplitude main sequence relationship after visual transients: implications for models of saccade control Open
Microsaccades occur during gaze fixation to correct for miniscule foveal motor errors. The mechanisms governing such fine oculomotor control are still not fully understood. In this study, we explored microsaccade control by analyzing the i…

Hypothermia Promotes Survival of Ischemic Retinal Ganglion Cells Open
Our results demonstrate that hypothermia greatly increases survival of retinal ganglion cells exposed to ischemia. These results might be relevant for the future treatment of retinal ischemia.
