Assessing Mitochondrial DNA Variation and Copy Number in Lymphocytes of ~2,000 Sardinians Using Tailored Sequencing Analysis Tools by Jun Ding (80820)

“…The new program package comprises 1) an algorithm designed to identify mtDNA variants (i.e., homoplasmies and heteroplasmies), incorporating sequencing error rates at each base in a likelihood calculation and allowing allele fractions at a variant site to differ across individuals; and 2) an estimation of mtDNA copy number in a cell directly from whole-genome sequencing data. …”

Parameters of proteome evolution from histograms of amino-acid sequence identities of paralogous proteins-1 by Jacob Bock Axelsen (87041)

“…Solid blue circles show the distribution of all paralogous pairs in the genome (as in Figure 1), while solid black diamonds – what is left after removing the above 5 largest families. Dashed line corresponds to a power law with the slope -4, while the solid one – the slope -5.…”

Model predictions showing how the expectation and variance of the incubation period vary according to the relative dose (RD), the net growth rate (β-μ) and the relative dose at the... by Helen R. Fryer (194033)

“…Beyond approximately 0, the incubation period decreases linearly with relative dose. A) shows that the gradient of this slope is steeper if the net growth rate of prions (<i>β-μ</i>) is smaller. …”

Image_1_Declines and Resilience of Communities of Leaf Chewing Insects on Missouri Oaks Following Spring Frost and Summer Drought.JPEG by Robert J. Marquis (2903021)

“…Smaller-bodied species of leaf tying Lepidoptera took longer to recover than larger-bodied species following the drought. Overall, we found no evidence for a general decline in abundance, even a modest one, during the 20 years of study of faunas on oak trees in southeastern Missouri. …”

table 1_Census-Block-Level Property Risk Estimation Due to Extreme Cold Temperature, Hail, Lightning, and Tornadoes in Louisiana, United States.docx by Rubayet Bin Mostafiz (9615689)

“…Our approach improves previous hazard risk assessments by 1) weighting risk by 2010 and 2050-projected population; 2) adjusting future hazard intensity based on recent climate model projections; and 3) producing results at the “microscale” census block, rather than previous county-wide or larger assessments. On a statewide basis, extreme cold temperature and tornado hazards incur by far the most risk of the four hazards. …”
