Conteúdo: This Open Letter highlights peatlands as critical yet overlooked ecosystems in Brazil's climate and biodiversity policies. By translating scientific evidence into clear, actionable priorities for policymakers, it supports more accurate climate reporting, effective mitigation strategies, and improved land-use governance. The letter emphasizes the societal benefits of peatland protection, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, water security, biodiversity conservation, and resilience to droughts and fires. It also promotes equitable engagement with Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities, strengthening inclusive, science-based decision-making and positioning Brazil as a global leader in nature-based climate solutions. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.alice.cnptia.embrapa.br/alice/handle/doc/1184066 Título: Modeling omics integration with HIVE identifies response signatures to multifactorial stress in plants. Autoria: CALIA, G.; MARGUERIT, S.; MOTA, A. P. Z.; VIDAL, M.; SCHULER, H.; BRASILEIRO, A. C. M.; GUIMARAES, P. M.; BOTTINI, S. Conteúdo: To address these challenges, we developed HIVE (Horizontal Integration analysis using Variational AutoEncoders), a method to jointly analyze multiple transcriptomics data from different experiments (i.e. unpaired). The current implementation is based on the use of a VAE, a generative model that learns low-dimensional representations of the observed data, using a variational Bayes methodology in an unsupervised framework. By coupling a random forest regression model and the SHAP explainer, HIVE selects relevant genes for the studied phenotype. The application of a nested stratified cross-validation technique allowed us not only to treat datasets with unbalanced classes but also to overcome the small sample size challenges (Fig. 1, Supplementary Note S1, Supplementary Figs. S1 to S5, and Supplementary Tables S1 to S3). 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.alice.cnptia.embrapa.br/alice/handle/doc/1156447 Título: Genomics and synthetic biology as a viable option to intensify sustainable use of biodiversity.
