$boldsymbol{Steiner}$-Hardness: A Query Hardness Measure for Graph-Based ANN Indexes

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Zeyu Wang, Qitong Wang, Xiaoxing Cheng, Peng Wang, Themis Palpanas | Summary: Graph-based indexes have been widely employed to accelerate approximate similarity search of high-dimensional vectors. However, the performance of graph indexes to answer different queries varies vastly, leading to an unstable quality of service for downstream […]

HMGB1 restores a dynamic chromatin environment in the presence of linker histone by deforming nucleosomal DNA

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Hayden S Saunders, Un Seng Chio, Camille M Moore, Vijay Ramani, Yifan Cheng and Geeta Narlikar | Summary: Summary: The essential architectural protein HMGB1 increases accessibility of nucleosomal DNA and counteracts the effects of linker histone H1. However, HMGB1 is less abundant than H1 and binds nucleosomes more weakly […]
