Fast Ordered Sampling of DNA Sequence Variants

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
Explosive growth in the amount of genomic data is matched by increasing power of consumer-grade computers. Even applications that require powerful servers can be quickly tested on desktop or laptop machines if we can generate representative samples from ...

Diffeomorphic random sampling using optimal information transport

, 2017
In this article we explore an algorithm for diffeomorphic random sampling of nonuniform probability distributions on Riemannian manifolds. The algorithm is based on optimal information transport (OIT)---an analogue of optimal mass transport (OMT).

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Sampling Random Spanning Trees Faster than Matrix Multiplication

, 2017
We present an algorithm that, with high probability, generates a random spanning tree from an edge-weighted undirected graph in $\tilde{O}(n^{4/3}m^{1/2}+n^{2})$ time (The $\tilde{O}(\cdot)$ notation hides $\operatorname{polylog}(n)$ factors).

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Treatment group-specific inferences in Phase III Randomized Oncology Trials

Acta Oncologica
Background: Estimation of comparative treatment effects between randomized groups is well-supported in randomized trials. By contrast, treatment group-specific inferences are challenging, as patients are selectively chosen for enrollment, and such ...

Animal Welfare Assessment of Fattening Pigs: A Case Study on Sample Validity

Animals, 2020
A guide for animal welfare assessment of fattening pigs recommends recording some of the indicators for a sample of the animals from a herd. However, it is not certain whether the herd’s level of welfare can be correctly judged using a random ...

Critical Buckling Generation of TCA Benchmark by the B₁ Theory-Augmented Monte Carlo Calculation and Estimation of Uncertainties

Energies, 2021
The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has developed the DeCART2D 2-dimensional (2D) method of characteristics (MOC) transport code and the MASTER nodal diffusion code and has established its own two-step procedure. For design code licensing,
