Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Alternative promoter (AP) events, as a major pre-transcriptional mechanism, can initiate different transcription start sites to generate distinct mRNA isoforms and regulate their expression. At present, hundreds of thousands of APs have been identified across human tissues, and a considerable number of APs have been demonstrated to be associated with complex traits and diseases. Recent researches have also proven important effects of APs on animals. However, the landscape of APs in animals has not been fully recognized. In this study, 102,349 AP profiles from 23,077 samples across 12 species were systematically characterized. We further identified tissue-specific APs and investigated trait-related promoters among various species. In addition, we analyzed the associations between APs and enhancer RNAs (eRNA)/transcription factors (TF) as a means of identifying potential regulatory factors. Integrating these findings, we finally developed Animal-APdb, a database for the searching, browsing, and downloading of information related to Animal APs. Animal-APdb is expected to serve as a valuable resource for exploring the functions and mechanisms of APs in animals.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)

Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
