Leveraging Weighted Quartet Distributions for Enhanced Species Tree Inference from Genome-Wide Data.

Species tree estimation from genes sampled from throughout the whole genome is challenging because of gene tree discordance, often caused by incomplete lineage sorting (ILS). Quartet-based summary methods for estimating species trees from a collection of gene trees are becoming popular due to their high accuracy and theoretical guarantees of robustness to arbitrarily high amounts of ILS. ASTRAL, the most widely used quartet-based method, aims to infer species trees by maximizing the number of quartets in the gene trees consistent with the species tree.

Contraceptive Use Patterns and Associated Determinants in a Rural Population of Narayanganj District, Bangladesh.

Background: Contraceptive use patterns in rural communities are shaped by a complex interplay of social and economic factors. In Bangladesh, there is a significant disparity in birth control use between rural and urban areas. This study aims to explore the patterns, practices, and barriers to contraceptive use in a rural community, with the goal of bridging gaps and promoting sustainable development.

Unhealthy food consumption and its determinants among children aged 6-23 months in Bangladesh: insights from the Demographic and Health Survey 2022.

Background: Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Bangladesh, are experiencing a nutritional transition characterized by rising unhealthy food consumption (UFC), which increases the risk of nutrient deficiencies and chronic diseases in children. Despite this concern, research on UFC among Bangladeshi children aged 6-23 months is limited. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the prevalence and identify the factors contributing to UFC in this age group.

The RRM domain-containing protein Rbp3 interacts with ribosomes and the 3' ends of mRNAs encoding photosynthesis proteins.

RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain proteins are crucial RNA-binding proteins across all domains of life. In cyanobacteria, single RRM domain proteins are involved in mRNA targeting to the thylakoid membrane and acclimation to certain stress conditions, but many details of their physiological functions and molecular targets have remained unknown. The model cyanobacterium sp.

Trends and associated factors of animal source foods consumption among children aged 6-23 months in Bangladesh: evidence from four consecutive national surveys.

Animal source foods (ASF) are nutrient-dense and essential for the growth and development of children. The Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2022 reported that approximately two-thirds of children aged 6-23 months consumed eggs/flesh foods. However, overall consumption patterns, trends, and factors influencing ASF intake among children in Bangladesh were not well-documented.
