Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts

Human blastocyst-derived, pluripotent cell lines are described that have normal karyotypes, express high levels of telomerase activity, and express cell surface markers that cha...

Cancer statistics, 2023

Abstract Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States and compiles the most recent data on population‐based c...

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...

Evolutionary trees from DNA sequences: A maximum likelihood approach

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....

The Sequence of the Human Genome

A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp ...

Limited-dependent and qualitative variables in econometrics

This book presents the econometric analysis of single-equation and simultaneous-equation models in which the jointly dependent variables can be continuous, categorical, or trunc...

TopHat2: accurate alignment of transcriptomes in the presence of insertions, deletions and gene fusions

BEAST: Bayesian evolutionary analysis by sampling trees

BEAST is a powerful and flexible evolutionary analysis package for molecular sequence variation. It also provides a resource for the further development of new models and statis...
