Article Abstract

Summary: Quantifying genetic clusters (=populations) from genotypic data is a fundamental, but non-trivial task for population geneticists that is compounded by: hierarchical population structure, diverse analytical methods, and complex software dependencies. AdmixPipe v3 ameliorates many of these issues in a single bioinformatic pipeline that facilitates all facets of population structure analysis by integrating outputs generated by several popular packages (i.e. CLUMPAK, EvalAdmix). The pipeline interfaces disparate software packages to parse Admixture outputs and conduct EvalAdmix analyses in the context of multimodal population structure results identified by CLUMPAK. We further streamline these tasks by packaging AdmixPipe v3 within a Docker container to create a standardized analytical environment that allows for complex analyses to be replicated by different researchers. This also grants operating system flexibility and mitigates complex software dependencies.

Availability And Implementation: Source code, documentation, example files, and usage examples are freely available at https://github.com/stevemussmann/admixturePipeline. Installation is facilitated via Docker container available from https://hub.docker.com/r/mussmann/admixpipe. Usage under Windows operating systems requires the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Health disparities in neurology.

Nat Rev Neurol

September 2025

Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.

Health disparities are preventable differences in health between different populations, and they are endemic throughout medicine owing to social, economic and environmental disadvantages. Neurology is no exception, and health disparities for systematically marginalized groups are present in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of all neurological disorders. The aetiology of these disparities is complex and multifactorial, reflecting the interplay of structural, institutional and individual-level factors.

National Centre for Antimicrobial Stewardship, Department of Infectious Diseases, Melbourne Medical School, The University of Melbourne, Carlton, Victoria, Australia.

The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a profound threat to human, animal and environmental health. Although antimicrobials have revolutionized modern medicine, their overuse and misuse have accelerated AMR, necessitating urgent, multisectoral action. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), a set of coordinated strategies that promote responsible antimicrobial use, has emerged as a key intervention in managing AMR.

Human gastroids to model regional patterning in early stomach development.

The human stomach features distinct, regionalized functionalities along the anterior-posterior axis. Historically, studies on stomach patterning have used animal models to identify the underlying principles. Recently, human pluripotent stem (hPS)-cell-based gastric organoids for modelling domain-specific development of the fundic and antral epithelium are emerging.

Polymorphic two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit diverse properties for optoelectronic applications. Here, utilizing phase-engineered MoTe as a prototypical platform, we comprehensively explored its ultrafast and nonlinear optical properties to complete the fundamental framework of phase-dependent optical phenomena in 2D TMDCs. Starting with the phase-selective synthesis of 2H- and 1T'-MoTe with tailored thicknesses, we revealed their distinct photocarrier relaxation mechanisms using intensive power-/temperature-/thickness-dependent transient absorption spectra (TAS).

Background: Over the past decade, remote (non-face-to-face) services are being increasingly used in primary care, including interactions through telephone and online platforms. These services bring potential benefits as well as potential barriers for patients. Older migrants are a population that could face intersectional barriers when accessing healthcare; it is important to understand the impact of remote services on them.
