TL;DR: A Monte Carlo approach to estimating power to resolve as well as deriving a nearly equivalent faster deterministic calculation are developed and implemented and predicted power of resolution for the loci analyzed.

TL;DR: It is found that optimal rates of characters—not genes—are generally robust to most experimental design decisions, and consideration of site rate heterogeneity within a given locus is critical to accurate predictions of utility.

TL;DR: Strategies to improve follow-up rates after a failed visual acuity screening may include communicating the results clearly and consistently, providing education about the importance of timely follow- up, and offering logistic support for accessing eye appointments to families.

TL;DR: The generalized signal and noise analysis is generalized to classic quartet phylogenies in which long-branch effects can arise due to unequal rates of evolution or an asymmetrical topology and provides analytical prediction of utility of characters evolving at diverse rates of Evolution to resolve quarte phylogenies with unequal branch lengths.

TL;DR: Based on an early experience with SP-RALRP at a high-volume center and a pooled analysis of SP series to date, perioperative and pathologic outcomes appear nearly equivalent compared to standard RALRP.
