Evolution and Functional Impact of Rare Coding Variation from Deep Sequencing of Human Exomes
A Deep Look Into Our Genes Recent debates have focused on the degree of genetic variation and its impact upon health at the genomic level in humans (see the Perspective by Casal...
GEOCARB II; a revised model of atmospheric CO 2 over Phanerozoic time
Revision of the GEOCARB model (Berner, 1991, 1994) for paleolevels of atmospheric CO2, has been made with emphasis on factors affecting CO2 uptake by continental weathering. Thi...

Primary Bioassay of Human Tumor Stem Cells
A simple method has been developed to support human tumor stem cell colony growth in soft agar. The technique appears suitable for culture of a variety of neoplasms of differing...
HGVS Recommendations for the Description of Sequence Variants: 2016 Update
The consistent and unambiguous description of sequence variants is essential to report and exchange information on the analysis of a genome. In particular, DNA diagnostics criti...
Dominant and diet-responsive groups of bacteria within the human colonic microbiota
Abstract The populations of dominant species within the human colonic microbiota can potentially be modified by dietary intake with consequences for health. Here we examined the...
The performance of the K6 and K10 screening scales for psychological distress in the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Well-Being
Background. Two new screening scales for psychological distress, the K6 and K10, have been developed but their relative efficiency has not been evaluated in comparison with exis...
A Simple Model for the Absorption of Starlight by Dust in Galaxies
We present a new model to compute the effects of dust on the integrated spectral properties of galaxies, based on an idealized prescription of the main features of the interstel...
The particle swarm: social adaptation of knowledge
Particle swarm adaptation is an optimization paradigm that simulates the ability of human societies to process knowledge. The algorithm models the exploration of a problem space...
