TL;DR: The free zone electrophoresis method described in this monograph can be used for the fractionation of small molecules, large molecules, and particles, and its versatility is illustrated in runs with inorganic ions, organic ions, nucleic acid bases, nucleosides, nucleotides, proteins,ucleic acids, subcellular particles, viruses, and erythrocytes.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the Fock-Dirac density matrix can be computed in terms of the unperturbed Hamiltonian and density matrix, and the perturbation can be expressed as a series of series of perturbations.
Abstract: In Hartree-Fock theory and its various generalizations, it is customary to solve an eigenvalue problem involving an effective one-body Hamiltonian. The eigenvectors determine the Fock-Dirac density matrix, which also appears in the effective Hamiltonian, and solution proceeds iteratively until self-consistency is achieved.An alternative (necessary and sufficient) condition for a solution is that the density matrix ($\ensuremath{\rho}$) is idempotent and commutes with the Hamiltonian (h). The change in $\ensuremath{\rho}$, accompanying a change $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ in h, can then be expressed as a perturbation series. Formulas for the perturbation, to all orders, are obtained in terms of the unperturbed Hamiltonian and density matrix. It is also shown that the whole perturbation may be obtained directly, without separating the orders, and that the approach is related to earlier steepest-descent methods.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of nine genome-wide association studies and a follow-up of 29 independent loci found three newly implicated loci to be associated with type 2 diabetes: GIPR, ADCY5 and VPS13C.
Abstract: Glucose levels 2 h after an oral glucose challenge are a clinical measure of glucose tolerance used in the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. We report a meta-analysis of nine genome-wide association studies (n = 15,234 nondiabetic individuals) and a follow-up of 29 independent loci (n = 6,958-30,620). We identify variants at the GIPR locus associated with 2- h glucose level (rs10423928, beta (s.e.m.) = 0.09 (0.01) mmol/l per A allele, P = 2.0 x 10(-15)). The GIPR A-allele carriers also showed decreased insulin secretion (n = 22,492; insulinogenic index, P = 1.0 x 10(-17); ratio of insulin to glucose area under the curve, P = 1.3 x 10(-16)) and diminished incretin effect (n = 804; P = 4.3 x 10(-4)). We also identified variants at ADCY5 (rs2877716, P = 4.2 x 10(-16)), VPS13C (rs17271305, P = 4.1 x 10(-8)), GCKR (rs1260326, P = 7.1 x 10(-11)) and TCF7L2 (rs7903146, P = 4.2 x 10(-10)) associated with 2-h glucose. Of the three newly implicated loci (GIPR, ADCY5 and VPS13C), only ADCY5 was found to be associated with type 2 diabetes in collaborating studies (n = 35,869 cases, 89,798 controls, OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.09-1.15, P = 4.8 x 10(-18)).

TL;DR: Applying MTAG to summary statistics for depressive symptoms, neuroticism and subjective well-being increased discovery of associated loci as compared to single-trait analyses, yielding more informative bioinformatics analyses and increasing the variance explained by polygenic scores by approximately 25%, matching theoretical expectations.
Abstract: We introduce multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG), a method for joint analysis of summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of different traits, possibly from overlapping samples. We apply MTAG to summary statistics for depressive symptoms (N eff = 354,862), neuroticism (N = 168,105), and subjective well-being (N = 388,538). As compared to the 32, 9, and 13 genome-wide significant loci identified in the single-trait GWAS (most of which are themselves novel), MTAG increases the number of associated loci to 64, 37, and 49, respectively. Moreover, association statistics from MTAG yield more informative bioinformatics analyses and increase the variance explained by polygenic scores by approximately 25%, matching theoretical expectations.

TL;DR: The expression pattern of ACE2 across > 150 different cell types corresponding to all major human tissues and organs based on stringent immunohistochemical analysis constitutes an important resource for further studies on SARS‐CoV‐2 host cell entry, to understand the biology of the disease and to aid in the development of effective treatments to the viral infection.
Abstract: The novel SARS-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a global challenge on healthcare and society. For understanding the susceptibility for SARS-CoV-2 infection, the cell type-specific expression of the host cell surface receptor is necessary. The key protein suggested to be involved in host cell entry is angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Here, we report the expression pattern of ACE2 across > 150 different cell types corresponding to all major human tissues and organs based on stringent immunohistochemical analysis. The results were compared with several datasets both on the mRNA and protein level. ACE2 expression was mainly observed in enterocytes, renal tubules, gallbladder, cardiomyocytes, male reproductive cells, placental trophoblasts, ductal cells, eye, and vasculature. In the respiratory system, the expression was limited, with no or only low expression in a subset of cells in a few individuals, observed by one antibody only. Our data constitute an important resource for further studies on SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry, in order to understand the biology of the disease and to aid in the development of effective treatments to the viral infection.
