Theory of games and economic behavior

This is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based. What began more than sixty years ago as a modest proposal that a mathematician and an economist write a shor...

A Simple, Fast, and Accurate Algorithm to Estimate Large Phylogenies by Maximum Likelihood

The increase in the number of large data sets and the complexity of current probabilistic sequence evolution models necessitates fast and reliable phylogeny reconstruction metho...

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns

A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according ...

RAxML-VI-HPC: maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic analyses with thousands of taxa and mixed models

Abstract Summary: RAxML-VI-HPC (randomized axelerated maximum likelihood for high performance computing) is a sequential and parallel program for inference of large phylogenies ...

Batch Normalization: Accelerating Deep Network Training by Reducing Internal Covariate Shift

Training Deep Neural Networks is complicated by the fact that the distribution of each layer's inputs changes during training, as the parameters of the previous layers change. T...

UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detection

Abstract Motivation: Chimeric DNA sequences often form during polymerase chain reaction amplification, especially when sequencing single regions (e.g. 16S rRNA or fungal Interna...

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine

A two-dose regimen of BNT162b2 conferred 95% protection against Covid-19 in persons 16 years of age or older. Safety over a median of 2 months was similar to that of other viral...

Tissue-based map of the human proteome

Protein expression across human tissues Sequencing the human genome gave new insights into human biology and disease. However, the ultimate goal is to understand the dynamic exp...

Evolutionary trees from DNA sequences: A maximum likelihood approach

Metascape provides a biologist-oriented resource for the analysis of systems-level datasets

A critical component in the interpretation of systems-level studies is the inference of enriched biological pathways and protein complexes contained within OMICs datasets. Succe...

Numerical optimization

This third edition of Braun and Murdoch's bestselling textbook now includes discussion of the use and design principles of the tidyverse packages in R, including expanded covera...

IQ-TREE 2: New Models and Efficient Methods for Phylogenetic Inference in the Genomic Era

Abstract IQ-TREE (http://www.iqtree.org, last accessed February 6, 2020) is a user-friendly and widely used software package for phylogenetic inference using maximum likelihood....
