Metagenomic Comparison of Gut Microbes of <i>Lemur catta</i> in Captive and Semi-Free-Range Environments by Chunzhong Xu, Xinzi Guo, Lian Li

“…In contrast, microbial genera associated with fiber degradation and short-chain fatty acid production in the FR group were significantly elevated (<i>Faecalibacterium</i>, <i>Roseburia</i>, and <i>Megamonas</i>) as compared to the CB group. Environmental variations between the two rearing systems led to distinct profiles in microbial functions and carbohydrate-active enzyme gene composition. …”

Identifying functional groups among the diverse, recombining antigenic var genes of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum from a local community in Ghana. by Mary M Rorick, Edward B Baskerville, Thomas S Rask, Karen P Day, Mercedes Pascual

“…Our approach is to first decompose each sequence type into its constituent, recombining parts; we then use a stochastic block model to identify functional groups among the parts; finally, we classify the sequence types based on which functional groups they contain. …”

Combination ATR-FTIR with Multiple Classification Algorithms for Authentication of the Four Medicinal Plants from <i>Curcuma</i> L. in Rhizomes and Tuberous Roots by Qiuyi Wen, Wenlong Wei, Yun Li, Dan Chen, Jianqing Zhang, Zhenwei Li, De-an Guo

“…Then, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) was applied to visualize the results, and seven kinds of classification models were constructed. The results showed that support vector machine (SVM) modeling was superior to other models and the accuracy of validation and prediction was preferable, with a modeling time of 127.76 s. …”

A dataset of estimated heterozygous individual and carrier couple frequencies for pan-ancestry carrier screeningMendeley Data by Mia J. Gruzin, Matthew Hobbs, Sarah Poll, Swaroop Aradhya, Leslie Burnett

“…The dataset enabled calculations of positive yield for individuals and couples across both ancestry-specific and pan-ancestry, optimised ''Goldilocks''-ranked gene panels, addressing population-specific variations in the frequencies of heterozygous individuals and carrier couples.The positive yield analysis offered a performance metric for carrier screening panels, facilitating the modeling of screening performance for panels of varying sizes and composition and providing resources for optimizing panel content to ensure equity across underrepresented genetic ancestriesThe dataset can support ongoing research into the equitable application of carrier screening and offers significant reuse potential for refining population genetic screening practices, validating computational models, and developing frameworks to update carrier screening panels in alignment with evolving genomic data, including in underrepresented and minority populations.…”
