Article Abstract

Summary: Low-affinity interactions among multivalent biomolecules may lead to the formation of molecular complexes that undergo phase transitions to become supply-limited large clusters. In stochastic simulations, such clusters display a wide range of sizes and compositions. We have developed a Python package, MolClustPy, which performs multiple stochastic simulation runs using NFsim (Network-Free stochastic simulator); MolClustPy characterizes and visualizes the distribution of cluster sizes, molecular composition, and bonds across molecular clusters. The statistical analysis offered by MolClustPy is readily applicable to other stochastic simulation software, such as SpringSaLaD and ReaDDy.

Availability And Implementation: The software is implemented in Python. A detailed Jupyter notebook is provided to enable convenient running. Code, user guide, and examples are freely available at https://molclustpy.github.io/.

Genomes are composed of a mosaic of segments inherited from different ancestors, each separated by past recombination events. Consequently, genealogical relationships among multiple genomes vary spatially across different genomic regions. Genealogical variation among unlinked (uncorrelated) genomic regions is well described for either a single population (coalescent) or multiple structured populations (multispecies coalescent).

Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are widely used in systems biology to investigate metabolism and predict perturbation responses. Automatic GEM reconstruction tools generate GEMs with different properties and predictive capacities for the same organism. Since different models can excel at different tasks, combining them can increase metabolic network certainty and enhance model performance.

Recent advances in methods to infer and analyse ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs) are providing powerful new insights in evolutionary biology and beyond. Existing inference approaches tend to be designed for use with fully-phased datasets, and some rely on model assumptions about demography and recombination rate. Here I describe a simple model-free approach for genealogical inference along the genome from unphased genotype data called Sequential Tree Inference by Collecting Compatible Sites (sticcs).

Objective: To explore whether people with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods have significantly increased high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a sensitive inflammatory marker and accurate predictor of cardiovascular disease.

Methods: United States (US) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationally representative sample of 9,254 that included ultra-processed foods as percentage of total energy intake using the validated NOVA classification system. We used means and percentages as measures of effect, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) (p<0.
