    On the importance of statistics in molecular simulations for thermodynamics, kinetics and simulation box size

    Vytautas Gapsys, Bert L de Groot
    The use of adequate statistics is demonstrated to be an essential prerequisite to derive conclusions on thermodynamics and kinetics from molecular simulations.

    Whole brain correlates of individual differences in skin conductance responses during discriminative fear conditioning to social cues

    Kevin Vinberg, Jörgen Rosén ... Fredrik Ahs
    A whole brain analysis using human neuroimaging data shows neural correlates of individual differences in conditioned fear.

    Body mass index and childhood symptoms of depression, anxiety, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: A within-family Mendelian randomization study

    Amanda M Hughes, Eleanor Sanderson ... Neil M Davies
    It is unclear how much a child's BMI at age 8 affects their depressive and ADHD symptoms after family-level factors are accounted for, but a substantial impact on anxiety symptoms is unlikely.

    Mechanics and kinetics of dynamic instability

    Thomas CT Michaels, Shuo Feng ... L Mahadevan
    A theoretical framework for the growth of microtubules quantifies the roles of geometry, mechanics, kinetics and randomness and provides a phase diagram for dynamic instability in these self-assembled polymers.

    Barcoded bulk QTL mapping reveals highly polygenic and epistatic architecture of complex traits in yeast

    Alex N Nguyen Ba, Katherine R Lawrence ... Michael M Desai
    A bulk barcoded quantitative trait locus approach increases the power and resolution of genotype-phenotype mapping in yeast, revealing that the genetic architecture of 18 complex traits is highly polygenic, and is characterized by widespread epistatic interactions and pleiotropic effects.

    Quantifying concordant genetic effects of de novo mutations on multiple disorders

    Hanmin Guo, Lin Hou ... Qiongshi Lu
    EncoreDNM identifies abundant enrichment correlations across disorders for de novo mutations.

    Integrated analyses of growth differentiation factor-15 concentration and cardiometabolic diseases in humans

    Susanna Lemmelä, Eleanor M Wigmore ... Athena Matakidou
    Elevated growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) levels do not appear to be a causal factor in body mass index (BMI) in humans but higher BMI does cause increases in GDF15.

    Time-resolved mapping of genetic interactions to model rewiring of signaling pathways

    Florian Heigwer, Christian Scheeder ... Michael Boutros
    Genetic interaction analysis by combinatorial genetic perturbation and high-throughput imaging maps time- and context-dependent crosstalk between signaling pathways.

    Fast and flexible estimation of effective migration surfaces

    Joseph Marcus, Wooseok Ha ... John Novembre
    Fast and flexible estimation of effective migration surfaces (FEEMS) is a new statistical method that can quickly infer and visualize patterns of migration from genetic data with spatial coordinates.

    Rapid evolution of the human mutation spectrum

    Kelley Harris, Jonathan K Pritchard
    Heritable mutations tend to occur within different DNA sequence contexts in different human populations, suggesting that DNA replication and repair often change in efficacy over only a few hundred generations of evolution.
