Background: The bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex (BEEC) is a spectrum of congenital abnormalities that involves the abdominal wall, the bony pelvis, the urinary tract, the external genitalia, and, in severe cases, the gastrointestinal tract as well ...

Starvation resistance is important to disease and fitness, but the genetic basis of its natural variation is unknown. Uncovering the genetic basis of complex, quantitative traits such as starvation resistance is technically challenging.

PathogenMip assay: a multiplex pathogen detection assay. [PDF]
The Molecular Inversion Probe (MIP) assay has been previously applied to a large-scale human SNP detection. Here we describe the PathogenMip Assay, a complete protocol for probe production and applied approaches to pathogen detection.

Molecular Orientation-Induced Second Harmonic Generation: deciphering different contributions apart [PDF]
We demonstrate and explore an all-optical technique for direct monitoring the orientation dynamics of gas phase molecular ensembles. The technique termed 'MOISH' utilizes the transiently lifted inversion symmetry of polar gas media and provides a sensitive and spatially localized probing of second harmonic generation signal that is directly correlated ...

Deep Molecular Dreaming: Inverse machine learning for de-novo molecular design and interpretability with surjective representations [PDF]
Computer-based de-novo design of functional molecules is one of the most prominent challenges in cheminformatics today. As a result, generative and evolutionary inverse designs from the field of artificial intelligence have emerged at a rapid pace, with aims to optimize molecules for a particular chemical property. These models 'indirectly' explore the

A Genetics-First Approach Revealed Monogenic Disorders in Patients With ARM and VACTERL Anomalies
Background: The VATER/VACTERL association (VACTERL) is defined as the non-random occurrence of the following congenital anomalies: Vertebral, Anal, Cardiac, Tracheal-Esophageal, Renal, and Limb anomalies.

Velocity map imaging with non-uniform detection: quantitative molecular axis alignment measurements via Coulomb explosion imaging [PDF]
We present a method for inverting charged particle velocity map images which incoorporates a non-uniform detection function. This method is applied to the specific case of extracting molecular axis alignment from Coulomb explosion imaging probes in which the probe itself has a dependence on molecular orientation which often removes cylindrical symmetry

Molecular free energy profiles from force spectroscopy experiments by inversion of observed committors [PDF]
In single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments, a biomolecule is attached to a force probe via polymer linkers, and the total extension -- of molecule plus apparatus -- is monitored as a function of time. In a typical unfolding experiment at constant force, the total extension jumps between two values that correspond to the folded and unfolded ...
