Molecular cloning : a laboratory manual

Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years. No other manual has been so popular, or so influential. Molecular Cloning, ...

Regression Shrinkage and Selection Via the Lasso

SUMMARY We propose a new method for estimation in linear models. The ‘lasso’ minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients b...

Maximum Likelihood from Incomplete Data Via the <i>EM</i> Algorithm

Summary A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone ...

AMPLIFICATION AND DIRECT SEQUENCING OF FUNGAL RIBOSOMAL RNA GENES FOR PHYLOGENETICS

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.cubense (Foc), is the causal agent of the disease known as Fusarium wilt in musaceous crops.It is one of the major limiting factors in the world product...

Absorptive Capacity: A New Perspective on Learning and Innovation

In this paper, we argue that the ability of a firm to recognize the value of new, external information, assimilate it, and apply it to commercial ends is critical to its innovat...

Molecular Cloning. A Laboratory Manual

Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance

Continuing his groundbreaking analysis of economic structures, Douglass North develops an analytical framework for explaining the ways in which institutions and institutional ch...

Society and the Adolescent Self-Image

Over 5,000 high-school students of different social, religious, and national backgrounds were studied to show the effects of family experience, neighborhoods, minority groups, e...

The ERA5 global reanalysis

Abstract Within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), ECMWF is producing the ERA5 reanalysis which, once completed, will embody a detailed record of the global atmosphere...

MrBayes 3.2: Efficient Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference and Model Choice Across a Large Model Space

Since its introduction in 2001, MrBayes has grown in popularity as a software package for Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. With thi...

SPAdes: A New Genome Assembly Algorithm and Its Applications to Single-Cell Sequencing

The lion's share of bacteria in various environments cannot be cloned in the laboratory and thus cannot be sequenced using existing technologies. A major goal of single-cell gen...

A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance

Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance has been widely recognized for its important and influential concepts in areas of motivation and social psychology. The theory of...
