Climate-based modelling and forecasting of dengue in three endemic departments of Peru

Plos.org 

by Cathal Mills, Christl A. Donnelly

Amid profound climate change, incidence of dengue continues to rise and expand in distribution across the world. Here, we analysed dengue in three coastal departments of Peru which have recently experienced public health emergencies during the worst dengue crises in Latin American history. We developed a climate-based spatiotemporal modelling framework to model monthly incidence of new dengue cases in Piura, Tumbes, and Lambayeque over 140 months from 2010 to 2021. Читать дальше...

A regression based approach to phylogenetic reconstruction from multi-sample bulk DNA sequencing of tumors

Plos.org 

by Henri Schmidt, Benjamin J. Raphael

Motivation

DNA sequencing of multiple bulk samples from a tumor provides the opportunity to investigate tumor heterogeneity and reconstruct a phylogeny of a patient’s cancer. However, since bulk DNA sequencing of tumor tissue measures thousands of cells from a heterogeneous mixture of distinct sub-populations, accurate reconstruction of the tumor phylogeny requires simultaneous deconvolution of cancer clones and inference of ancestral relationships, leading to a challenging computational problem.

Measuring genetic diversity across populations

Plos.org 

by Niloufar Abhari, Caroline Colijn, Arne Mooers, Paul Tupper

Diversity plays an important role in various domains, including conservation, whether it describes diversity within a population or diversity over a set of species. While various strategies for measuring among-species diversity have emerged (e.g. Phylogenetic Diversity (PD), Split System Diversity (SSD) and entropy-based methods), extensions to populations are rare. An understudied problem is how to assess the diversity of a collection... Читать дальше...

White Sands Test Facility Encourages Locals to Leave Their Footprint on the Space Industry

Nasa.gov 

At the edge of Las Cruces, New Mexico, surrounded by miles of sunbaked earth, NASA’s White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) is quietly shaping the future. There is no flash, no fanfare — the self-contained facility operates as it has since 1962, humbly and in relative obscurity. Yet as New Mexico’s space industry skyrockets amid intensifying […]
