FedGMMAT: Federated generalized linear mixed model association tests

by Wentao Li, Han Chen, Xiaoqian Jiang, Arif Harmanci

Increasing genetic and phenotypic data size is critical for understanding the genetic determinants of diseases. Evidently, establishing practical means for collaboration and data sharing among institutions is a fundamental methodological barrier for performing high-powered studies. As the sample sizes become more heterogeneous, complex statistical approaches, such as generalized linear mixed effects models, must be used to correct for the confounders that may bias results.

A low-dimensional approximation of optimal confidence

by Pierre Le Denmat, Tom Verguts, Kobe Desender

Human decision making is accompanied by a sense of confidence. According to Bayesian decision theory, confidence reflects the learned probability of making a correct response, given available data (e.g., accumulated stimulus evidence and response time). Although optimal, independently learning these probabilities for all possible data combinations is computationally intractable. Here, we describe a novel model of confidence implementing a low-dimensional... Читать дальше...

Generating information-dense promoter sequences with optimal string packing

by Virgile Andreani, Eric J. South, Mary J. Dunlop

Dense arrangements of binding sites within nucleotide sequences can collectively influence downstream transcription rates or initiate biomolecular interactions. For example, natural promoter regions can harbor many overlapping transcription factor binding sites that influence the rate of transcription initiation. Despite the prevalence of overlapping binding sites in nature, rapid design of nucleotide sequences with many overlapping sites remains a challenge. Читать дальше...

Wnt signaling modulates the response to DNA damage in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc by regulating the EGFR pathway

by Ben Ewen-Campen, Norbert Perrimon

Despite the deep conservation of the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway, cells in different contexts vary widely in their susceptibility to DNA damage and their propensity to undergo apoptosis as a result of genomic lesions. One of the cell signaling pathways implicated in modulating the DDR is the highly conserved Wnt pathway, which is known to promote resistance to DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation in a variety of human cancers. However, the mechanisms... Читать дальше...

Back in May, the Astros... Читать дальше...

Tesla to Focus on Autonomy and AI as Earnings Disappoint

Amid softer EV demand and worsening profit margins this year, Tesla is setting its sights on AI as Elon Musk is betting more on self-driving and artificial intelligence.    The AI hype has investors hooked in the past three months since Tesla’s underwhelming first-quarter deliveries and earnings numbers published in April. The company’s value has risen by $386 billion since then, per Bloomberg’s estimates, as Musk has been touting a Tesla future of AI, autonomous driving, and humanoid robots…
