Detection of widespread horizontal pleiotropy in causal relationships inferred from Mendelian randomization between complex traits and diseases
Horizontal pleiotropy occurs when the variant has an effect on disease outside of its effect on the exposure in Mendelian randomization (MR). Violation of the ‘no horizontal ple...
ape 5.0: an environment for modern phylogenetics and evolutionary analyses in R
Abstract Summary After more than fifteen years of existence, the R package ape has continuously grown its contents, and has been used by a growing community of users. The releas...
Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text\n Transformer
Transfer learning, where a model is first pre-trained on a data-rich task\nbefore being fine-tuned on a downstream task, has emerged as a powerful\ntechnique in natural language...
Double-slit photoelectron interference in strong-field ionization of the neon dimer
Wave-particle duality is an inherent peculiarity of the quantum world. The double-slit experiment has been frequently used for understanding different aspects of this fundamenta...
Fundamentals of heat and mass transfer
Familiarization of students with the physical fundamentals of heat and mass transfer processes and modern practical problems solved within the framework of this theory, the form...
Dexamethasone in Hospitalized Patients with Covid-19.
BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is associated with diffuse lung damage. Glucocorticoids may modulate inflammation-mediated lung injury and thereby reduce progres...
Inference of Population Structure Using Multilocus Genotype Data: Linked Loci and Correlated Allele Frequencies
Abstract We describe extensions to the method of Pritchard et al. for inferring population structure from multilocus genotype data. Most importantly, we develop methods that all...
Hallmarks of Cancer: New Dimensions
Abstract The hallmarks of cancer conceptualization is a heuristic tool for distilling the vast complexity of cancer phenotypes and genotypes into a provisional set of underlying...
The MR-Base platform supports systematic causal inference across the human phenome
Results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can be used to infer causal relationships between phenotypes, using a strategy known as 2-sample Mendelian randomization (2SM...
A Rapid Bootstrap Algorithm for the RAxML Web Servers
Despite recent advances achieved by application of high-performance computing methods and novel algorithmic techniques to maximum likelihood (ML)-based inference programs, the m...
Homo Sacer
One of Italy's most original philosophers aims to connect the problem of pure possibility, potentiality, and power with the problem of political and social ethics in a context w...
