Population size bias in Diffusion Monte Carlo

, 2012
The size of the population of random walkers required to obtain converged estimates in DMC increases dramatically with system size. We illustrate this by comparing ground state energies of small clusters of parahydrogen (up to 48 molecules) computed by ...

Targeted mutations in myostatin by zinc-finger nucleases result in double-muscled phenotype in Meishan pigs

Scientific Reports, 2015
Myostatin (MSTN) is a dominant inhibitor of skeletal muscle development and growth. Mutations in MSTN gene can lead to muscle hypertrophy or double-muscled (DM) phenotype in cattle, sheep, dog and human.

Substitutions near the hemagglutinin receptor-binding site determine the antigenic evolution of influenza A H3N2 viruses in U.S. swine [PDF]

, 2014
Swine influenza A virus is an endemic and economically important pathogen in pigs, with the potential to infect other host species. The hemagglutinin (HA) protein is the primary target of protective immune responses and the major component in swine ...
