SciPy 1.0: fundamental algorithms for scientific computing in Python

SciPy is an open-source scientific computing library for the Python programming language. Since its initial release in 2001, SciPy has become a de facto standard for leveraging ...

MODELTEST: testing the model of DNA substitution.

Abstract SUMMARY: The program MODELTEST uses log likelihood scores to establish the model of DNA evolution that best fits the data. AVAILABILITY: The MODELTEST package, includin...

TCS: a computer program to estimate gene genealogies

Phylogenies are extremely useful tools, not only for establishing genealogical relationships among a group of organisms or their parts (e.g. genes), but also for a variety of re...

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution

Long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopulmonary and lung cancer mortality.

An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. Cities

Although the effects of other, unmeasured risk factors cannot be excluded with certainty, these results suggest that fine-particulate air pollution, or a more complex pollution ...

Multimodal population brain imaging in the UK Biobank prospective epidemiological study

Tackling the widespread and critical impact of batch effects in high-throughput data

High-throughput technologies are widely used, for example to assay genetic variants, gene and protein expression, and epigenetic modifications. One often overlooked complication...

An Integrated Risk Function for Estimating the Global Burden of Disease Attributable to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

We developed a fine particulate mass-based RR model that covered the global range of exposure by integrating RR information from different combustion types that generate emissio...

Cross-biome metagenomic analyses of soil microbial communities and their functional attributes

For centuries ecologists have studied how the diversity and functional traits of plant and animal communities vary across biomes. In contrast, we have only just begun exploring ...
