Robust design optimisation of continuous flow polymerase chain reaction thermal flow systems [PDF]
This paper presents an efficient methodology for the robust optimisation of Continuous Flow Polymerase Chain Reaction (CFPCR) devices. It enables the effects of uncertainties in device geometry, due to manufacturing tolerances, on the competing objectives of minimising the temperature deviations within the CFPCR thermal zones, together with minimising ...

Why high-error-rate random mutagenesis libraries are enriched in functional and improved proteins [PDF]
Recently, several groups have used error-prone polymerase chain reactions to construct mutant libraries containing up to 27 nucleotide mutations per gene on average, and reported a striking observation: although retention of protein function initially declines exponentially with mutations as has previously been observed, orders of magnitude more ...

Semiquantitative Group Testing in at Most Two Rounds [PDF]
Semiquantitative group testing (SQGT) is a pooling method in which the test outcomes represent bounded intervals for the number of defectives. Alternatively, it may be viewed as an adder channel with quantized outputs. SQGT represents a natural choice for Covid-19 group testing as it allows for a straightforward interpretation of the cycle threshold ...

Shrimp is an important non-oil commodity for foreign trade in Indonesia. However, rejection of shrimp exports by the importing countries is still commonly encountered. In 2011, the USFDA recorded two cases of Salmonella spp.

Human colon organoid differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells using an improved method
We compared established protocols to differentiate induced pluripotent stem cells into colon organoids and found that activation of bone morphogenetic protein 2 signaling induced gene expression of colon‐specific markers. Adenovirus‐mediated transduction of the transcription factors HOXD13 or SATB2 further enhanced colonic gene expression, suggesting ...

A simple Bayesian model to estimate proportions and ratios from count data with a hierarchical error structure with an application to droplet digital PCR experiments [PDF]
Experimental designs with hierarchically-structured errors are pervasive in many biomedical areas; it is important to take into account this hierarchical architecture in order to account for the dispersion and make reliable inferences from the data. This paper addresses the question of estimating a proportion or a ratio from positive or negative count ...
