    Phenome-wide Mendelian randomisation analysis identifies causal factors for age-related macular degeneration

    Thomas H Julian, Johnathan Cooper-Knock ... Panagiotis I Sergouniotis
    A phenome-wide Mendelian randomisation analysis revealed a causal link between age-related macular degeneration and a number of lipid, complement, immune cell, and serum protein traits, highlighting potential treatment targets.

    Physiology and ecology combine to determine host and vector importance for Ross River virus

    Morgan P Kain, Eloise B Skinner ... Erin A Mordecai
    The role host and vector species play in pathogen transmission cycles is best quantified by integrating species' physiological and ecological competence.

    Inferring joint sequence-structural determinants of protein functional specificity

    Andrew F Neuwald, L Aravind, Stephen F Altschul
    A statistical approach for predicting non-active site residues responsible for allostery, cooperativity, or other subtle but functionally important interactions is described and applied to various protein families.

    Meta-Research: Task specialization across research careers

    Nicolas Robinson-Garcia, Rodrigo Costas ... Gabriela F Nane
    An analysis of author contribution statements in a large number of published papers reveals biases in the career trajectories of scientists.

    Mapping the endemicity and seasonality of clinical malaria for intervention targeting in Haiti using routine case data

    Ewan Cameron, Alyssa J Young ... Katherine E Battle
    A demonstration of the power of routine case data and statistical modelling to guide the allocation of anti-malarial interventions in a resource-constrained setting.

    Evaluating distributional regression strategies for modelling self-reported sexual age-mixing

    Timothy M Wolock, Seth Flaxman ... Jeffrey W Eaton
    Integrating the sinh-arcsinh distribution into a distributional regression framework allows us to produce precise, local estimates of sexual age-mixing, facilitating more accurate modelling of sexually transmitted disease dynamics.

    Introducing µGUIDE for quantitative imaging via generalized uncertainty-driven inference using deep learning

    Maëliss Jallais, Marco Palombo
    µGUIDE is a Bayesian framework that leverages simulation-based inference to efficiently estimate posterior distributions of any forward model parameters, allowing for uncertainty quantification and degeneracy detection.

    A parameterized two-domain thermodynamic model explains diverse mutational effects on protein allostery

    Zhuang Liu, Thomas G Gillis ... Qiang Cui
    A combined theoretical and experimental study revealed the mechanistic and structural basis of mutational effects on allostery and provided insights into the intrinsic connection of intra- and inter-domain properties.

    The lawful imprecision of human surface tilt estimation in natural scenes

    Seha Kim, Johannes Burge
    Human tilt estimation in natural scenes is predicted by an image-computable Bayes optimal model that is grounded in the statistics of natural images and scenes.

    Quantitative and functional interrogation of parent-of-origin allelic expression biases in the brain

    Julio D Perez, Nimrod D Rubinstein ... Catherine Dulac
    A subset of genes in the mouse brain show dynamically regulated and unequal expression of maternally and paternally derived variants, with implications for brain development and function.
