Chromosomal breaks at the origin of small tandem DNA duplications

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Small tandem DNA duplications form a specific mutational signature frequently found in human disease alleles and cancer genes. Here we hypothesize that these duplications mainly arise at chromosomal DNA breaks that result from two closely located single‐stranded nicks, through error‐prone repair by the non‐homologous end‐joining pathway. Abstract Small

Goodness‐of‐fit tests in proportional hazards models with random effects

open access: yesBiometrical Journal, Volume 65, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract This paper deals with testing the functional form of the covariate effects in a Cox proportional hazards model with random effects. We assume that the responses are clustered and incomplete due to right censoring. The estimation of the model under the null (parametric covariate effect) and the alternative (nonparametric effect) is performed ...
