Estimating rare disease prevalence and costs in the USA: a cohort study approach using the Healthcare Cost Institute claims data
Induction of mastitis by cow-to-mouse fecal and milk microbiota transplantation causes microbiome dysbiosis and genomic functional perturbation in mice
May 9, 2025
To understand the host-tropism phenomena of bovine-tropic mastitis microbiomes, we developed a cow-to-mouse mastitis model.
Differential expression of single-cell RNA-seq data using Tweedie models
May 9, 2025
To model the technological variability in cross-platform scRNA-seq data, here we propose to use Tweedie generalized linear models.
Chromosome-level genome assemblies of the malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis
May 9, 2025
We produced chromosome-level genome assemblies for A. coluzzii and A. arabiensis using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology and Hi-C scaffolding approach.
Impact of Antibiotics on the Lung Microbiome and Lung Function in Children With Cystic Fibrosis 1 Year After Hospitalization for an Initial Pulmonary Exacerbation
May 9, 2025
The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the microbiome and lung function in people with CF over 1 year after an initial pulmonary exacerbation.
Integrated Fertilization with Bagasse Vermicompost Changes the Microbiome of Mencía Must and Wine
May 9, 2025
Grape marc, or bagasse, is a byproduct of wine production that can be vermicomposted and used as organic fertilizer, which improve grape yields and wine quality
Nasopharyngeal metatranscriptome profiles of infants with bronchiolitis and risk of childhood asthma: a multicentre prospective study
May 9, 2025
Our objectives were to identify metatranscriptome profiles of infant bronchiolitis, and to examine relationship with host transcriptome and asthma development.
Orienting Ordered Scaffolds: Complexity and Algorithms
May 9, 2025
We address the problem of orientating ordered scaffolds as an optimization problem based on given weighted orientations of scaffolds and their pairs.
Integrated relationship of nasopharyngeal airway host response and microbiome associates with bronchiolitis severity
May 9, 2025
Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of infant hospitalizations but its immunopathology remains poorly understood.
Metabolite, protein, and tissue dysfunction associated with COVID‑19 disease severity
May 9, 2025
Proteins are direct products of the genome and metabolites are functional products of interactions between the host and other factors.
High-sensitivity pattern discovery in large, paired multiomic datasets
May 9, 2025
We present a novel framework which integrates hierarchical hypothesis testing with FDR correction to reveal linear and non-linear relationships among data.
Association of Early Aspirin Use With In-Hospital Mortality in Patients With Moderate COVID-19
May 9, 2025
Prior studies suggest aspirin may be associated with reduced mortality in high-risk patients with COVID-19, but patients with moderate COVID-19 are not studied.
