A new autoencoder-based genotype imputation method shows superior accuracy across human genomes of diverse ancestry and across the allele-frequency spectrum, while delivering significantly faster inference run times relative to standard imputation tools.

In models reconstructed from MRI scans of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source, computational simulations reveal that fibrosis has the intrinsic capacity to sustain arrhythmia drivers when subjected to triggered activity known to exist in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Mechanical competition is controlled by biophysical parameters that regulate cellular homeostatic density, while biochemical competition is regulated by parameters that influence the organisation of cells in a tissue.
Behavioural evidence and computational analyses suggest that people tend to decline the pursuit of more rewarded goals because they, wrongly, expect them to require more effortful actions.
A simple model provides an accessible framework to infer macroscopic parameters of effective resource competition from longitudinal studies of microbial communities.
