Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic scans for selective sweeps using SNP data

TL;DR: This work shows that a new parametric test, based on composite likelihood, has a high power to detect selective sweeps and is surprisingly robust to assumptions regarding recombination rates and demography (i.e., has low Type I error).
Journal ArticleDOI

Verification of the Crooks fluctuation theorem and recovery of RNA folding free energies

TL;DR: It is shown that the Crooks fluctuation theorem can be used to determine folding free energies for folding and unfolding processes occurring in weak as well as strong nonequilibrium regimes, thereby providing a test of its validity under such conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Scan for Positively Selected Genes in the Genomes of Humans and Chimpanzees

TL;DR: This work compares 13,731 annotated genes from humans to their chimpanzee orthologs to identify genes that show evidence of positive selection, and hypothesizes that positive selection in some of these genes may be driven by genomic conflict due to apoptosis during spermatogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

ClinGen — The Clinical Genome Resource

TL;DR: A patient’s family pursues genetic testing that shows a “likely pathogenic” variant for the condition on the basis of a study in an original research publication, and a different variant is found that is determined to be pathogenic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reversible unfolding of single RNA molecules by mechanical force.

TL;DR: The force-dependent equilibrium constants for folding/unfolding these single RNA molecules and the positions of their transition states along the reaction coordinate are determined.
