An alternative to Kitcher's theory of conceptual progress and his account of the change of the gene concept [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The present paper discusses Kitcher’s framework for studying conceptual change and progress. Kitcher’s core notion of reference potential is hard to apply to concrete cases.

Deciphering Auditory Hyperexcitability in Otogl Mutant Mice Unravels an Auditory Neuropathy Mechanism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By investigating auditory hyperexcitability in a mouse model for hereditary deafness, this study identified a subpopulation of afferent neurons of the auditory nerve marked by Otogl expression. Despite their apparently normal hearing, Otogl+/− mice display poor activation of afferent neurons processing loud sounds and an elevation of the middle the ear

Extending Models Via Gradient Boosting: An Application to Mendelian Models [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Improving existing widely-adopted prediction models is often a more efficient and robust way towards progress than training new models from scratch. Existing models may (a) incorporate complex mechanistic knowledge, (b) leverage proprietary information and, (c) have surmounted barriers to adoption.

Statistical inference in two-sample summary-data Mendelian randomization using robust adjusted profile score [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mendelian randomization (MR) is a method of exploiting genetic variation to unbiasedly estimate a causal effect in presence of unmeasured confounding. MR is being widely used in epidemiology and other related areas of population science.

Assumptions of IV Methods for Observational Epidemiology

open access: yes, 2010
Instrumental variable (IV) methods are becoming increasingly popular as they seem to offer the only viable way to overcome the problem of unobserved confounding in observational studies.

Mechanisms of Mendelian dominance [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Genetics, 2017
Genetic dominance has long been considered as a qualitative reflection of interallelic interactions. Dominance arises from many multiple sources whose unifying theme is the existence of non‐linear relationships between the genotypic and phenotypic values.

The GhWL1‐GhH1‐GhGA2OX1 Transcriptional Module Regulates Cotton Leaf Morphology

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified GhWL1 as a key gene involved in regulating leaf development through analysis of a T‐DNA insertion mutant. The GhWL1‐GhH1 complex is shown to positively regulate GhGA2OX1 by directly binding to its promoter, thereby establishing the GhWL1‐GhH1‐GhGA2OX1 module as a critical pathway in leaf development.

A cyclical switch of gametogenic pathways in hybrids depends on the ploidy level

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The cellular and molecular mechanisms governing sexual reproduction are conserved across eukaryotes. Nevertheless, hybridization can disrupt these mechanisms, leading to asexual reproduction, often accompanied by polyploidy. In this study, we investigate
