TL;DR: Differences between transcriptomic age and chronological age are associated with biological features linked to ageing, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, fasting glucose, and body mass index and the transcriptomic prediction model adds biological relevance and complements existing epigenetic prediction models.
Abstract: Disease incidences increase with age, but the molecular characteristics of ageing that lead to increased disease susceptibility remain inadequately understood. Here we perform a whole-blood gene expression meta-analysis in 14,983 individuals of European ancestry (including replication) and identify 1,497 genes that are differentially expressed with chronological age. The age-associated genes do not harbor more age-associated CpG-methylation sites than other genes, but are instead enriched for the presence of potentially functional CpG-methylation sites in enhancer and insulator regions that associate with both chronological age and gene expression levels. We further used the gene expression profiles to calculate the 'transcriptomic age' of an individual, and show that differences between transcriptomic age and chronological age are associated with biological features linked to ageing, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, fasting glucose, and body mass index. The transcriptomic prediction model adds biological relevance and complements existing epigenetic prediction models, and can be used by others to calculate transcriptomic age in external cohorts.

TL;DR: The variability in the values of radiomics features calculated on CT images from different CT scanners can be comparable to the variability in these features found in CT images of NSCLC tumors.
Abstract: ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the significance of interscanner variability in CT image radiomics studies.Materials and MethodsWe compared the radiomics features calculated for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors from 20 patients with those calculated for 17 scans of a sp

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the components of effective reading instruction are the same whether the focus is prevention or intervention: phonemic awareness and phonemic decoding skills, fluency in word recognition and text processing, construction of meaning, vocabulary, spelling, and writing.
Abstract: The components of effective reading instruction are the same whether the focus is prevention or intervention: phonemic awareness and phonemic decoding skills, fluency in word recognition and text processing, construction of meaning, vocabulary, spelling, and writing. Findings from evidence-based research show dramatic reductions in the incidence of reading failure when explicit instruction in these components is provided by the classroom teacher. To address the needs of children most at risk of reading failure, the same instructional components are relevant but they need to be made more explicit and comprehensive, more intensive, and more supportive in small-group or one-on-one formats. The argument is made that by coordinating research evidence from effective classroom reading instruction with effective small-group and one-on-one reading instruction we can meet the literacy needs of all children.

TL;DR: A frameshift mutation in the paired domain of PAX9 is identified following genome-wide analysis of a family segregating autosomal dominant oligodontia, which has normal primary dentition but lacked most permanent molars.
Abstract: We identified a frameshift mutation in the paired domain of PAX9 following genome-wide analysis of a family segregating autosomal dominant oligodontia. Affected members have normal primary dentition but lacked most permanent molars.
