A new biosensor for noninvasive determination of fetal RHD status in maternal blood of RhD negative pregnant women. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Prenatal detection of the fetal RHD status can be useful in the management of RhD incompatibility to identify fetuses at risk of hemolytic disease. Hemolytic disease causes morbidity and mortality of the fetus in the neonatal period.

Mycobacterium bovis: From Genotyping to Genome Sequencing
Microorganisms, 2020 Mycobacterium bovis is the main pathogen of bovine, zoonotic, and wildlife tuberculosis. Despite the existence of programs for bovine tuberculosis (bTB) control in many regions, the disease remains a challenge for the veterinary and public health sectors,

Probit models for capture-recapture data subject to imperfect detection, individual heterogeneity and misidentification [PDF]
, 2014 As noninvasive sampling techniques for animal populations have become more popular, there has been increasing interest in the development of capture-recapture models that can accommodate both imperfect detection and misidentification of individuals (e.g.,

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

GPU accelerated enumeration and exploration of HP model genotype-phenotype maps for protein folding [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Evolution can be broadly described in terms of mutations of the genotype and the subsequent selection of the phenotype. The full enumeration of a given genotype-phenotype (GP) map is therefore a powerful technique in examining evolutionary landscapes.

Techniques for screening Cercospora leaf spot resistant fenugreek genotypes [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2019 Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) caused by Cercospora traversiana is an important phyto-pathological problem of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), a multiuse legume crop. Field screenings for resistant plants, although accurate and effective, demand significant time and a sizable workforce to accomplish.
