Phosphoinositide phosphates are important regulators of processes such as the cytoskeleton organization, membrane traffic and gene transcription, which are all critical for polarized cell growth. In particular PI(4,5)P2 plays essential roles in polarized growth as well as in cellular responses to stress. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae a...

Membrane lipids have been implicated in many critical cellular processes, yet little is known about the role of asymmetric lipid distribution in cell morphogenesis. The phosphoinositide bis-phosphate PI(4,5)P(2) is essential for polarized growth in a range of organisms. Although an asymmetric distribution of this phospholipid has been observed...

Beyond growth inhibition, fungicides can also trigger specific morphological modifications visualized under transmitted light microscopy. These morphological changes result from the activity of a given compound via the inhibition of a molecular target, commonly named as its mode of action (MoA). We are hence able to classify different molecules...

In supervised classification, the learning process typically trains a classifier to optimize the accuracy of classifying data into the classes that appear in the learning set, and only them. While this framework fits many use cases, there are situations where the learning process is knowingly performed using a learning set that only represents...
