Experimental designs that take advantage of high-throughput sequencing to generate datasets include RNA (RNA-seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq), 16S rRNA gene fragments, metagenomic analysis and selective growth experiments. In each case the underlying data are similar composed counts reads mapped a large number features in sample. Despite this similarity, methods used for these experimental all different, do not translate across Alternative have been developed physical...

Abstract We investigate the fate of de novo mutations that occur during in-host replication a pathogenic virus, predicting probability such are passed on disease transmission to new host. Using influenza A virus as model organism, we develop life-history within-host dynamics infection, deriving multitype branching process with coupled deterministic capture population available target cells. quantify neutral and affecting five traits: clearance, attachment, budding, cell death, eclipse phase...
Background and Purpose: Physical activity (PA) has many known benefits for people with Parkinson disease (PD); however, do not meet recommended levels of frequency or intensity. We designed Engage-PD , a PA coaching program delivered via telehealth grounded in self-determination theory to promote uptake facilitate exercise self-efficacy disease. This study aimed determine the feasibility preliminary efficacy explore whether baseline characteristics were associated outcomes. Methods: A single...
