Over the past few years, the concept of personalized medicine has percolated into the management of different neurological conditions. Improving outcomes after acute brain injury (ABI) continues to be a major challenge. Unrecognized individual multiomic variations in addition to multiple interacting processes may explain why we fail to observe comprehensive improvements in ABI outcomes even when applied treatments appear to be beneficial logically. The provision of clinical care based on a multiomic...

The use of transposons to create mutations has been the cornerstone of Drosophila genetics in the past few decades. Second-site mutations caused by transpositions are often devoid of transposons and thereby affect subsequent analyses. In a P-element mutagenesis screen, a second site mutation was identified on chromosome 3, wherein the homozygous mutants exhibit classic hallmarks of tumour suppressor mutants, including brain tumour and lethality; hence the mutant line was initially named as lethal...

Gossypium hirsutum L. (Upland cotton) has an evolutionary history involving inter-genomic hybridization, polyploidization, and subsequent domestication. We analyzed the developmental dynamics of the cotton fiber transcriptome accompanying domestication using gene coexpression networks for both homoeolog-pair and homoeolog-specific networks. Remarkably, most genes exhibited expression for at least one homoeolog, confirming previous reports of widespread gene usage in cotton fibers. Most coexpression...

In forensic familial search methods, a query DNA profile is tested against a database to determine if the query profile represents a close relative of a database entrant. One challenge for familial search is that the calculations may require specification of allele frequencies for the unknown population from which the query profile has originated. Allele-frequency misspecification can substantially inflate false-positive rates compared to use of allele frequencies drawn from the same population as...
