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. …”

Spatiotemporal spike sorting on multi-electrode array (MEA) data: Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) vs. SpyKING CIRCUS (SC). by Daniel Suárez-Barrera (22676654)

“…The gradual decline in values with the distance from the electrode indicates that spike detection is still reliable at larger separations. The average F1 score matrix from different MEA recordings shows a similar gradual decrease, emphasizing UMAP’s ability to detect signals at larger distances from the GT neuron. …”

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. …”

MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF THE AREOLAR SPACE BETWEEN THE GREAT VESSELS AND THE LUMBAR SPINE by Luis Marchi (4703881)

“…The disc diameter was 11% larger when compared to the adjacent vertebral bodies (p<0.001) and that resulted in a smaller distance of the vessels in the disc level than in the level of the adjacent vertebral bodies (p<0.001). …”

Essential role of Sema4D in estrogen-mediated vaginal apoptosis. by Takuji Ito (566032)

Testes Mass, but Not Sperm Length, Increases with Higher Levels of Polyandry in an Ancient Sex Model by David E. Vrech (552632)

“…<div><p>There is strong evidence that polyandrous taxa have evolved relatively larger testes than monogamous relatives. Sperm size may either increase or decrease across species with the risk or intensity of sperm competition. …”

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. …”
