Yeast Cells - The First Time All the Proteins of an Organism Have Been mapped
This is the first time that all the proteins of an organism have been tracked across the cell cycle, which required a combination of deep learning and high-throughput microscopy. The team applied two convolutional neural networks, called DeepLoc and CycleNet, to analyze images of millions of live yeast cells. This result was a comprehensive map identifying where proteins are located and how they move and change in abundance within the cell.

Climate Change Helps Tropical Fish Invade Temperate Australian Waters
University of Adelaide study of shallow-water fish communities on rocky reefs in south-eastern Australia found climate change is helping tropical fish species invade temperate Australian waters. The new populations of tropical fish in temperate ecosystems are not having much of an impact now, but may do in the future. Tropical fish will eventually grow to their full size, and their diets will start to overlap with those of temperate fish.
