Article Abstract
Instrumental variables (IVs) are widely used to study the causal effect of an exposure on an outcome in the presence of unmeasured confounding. IVs require an instrument, a variable that ( ) is associated with the exposure, ( ) has no direct effect on the outcome except through the exposure, and ( ) is not related to unmeasured confounders. Unfortunately, finding variables that satisfy conditions or can be challenging in practice. This article reviews works where instruments may not satisfy conditions or , which we refer to as invalid instruments. We review identification and inference under different violations of or , specifically under linear models, nonlinear models, and heteroskedastic models. We conclude with an empirical comparison of various methods by reanalyzing the effect of body mass index on systolic blood pressure from the UK Biobank.

The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an endemic disease in pork-producing regions of the world, and its control remains poor. Rapid identification of PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 species is of great importance for molecular epidemiological surveillance of the virus. The objective of this study was the molecular characterization of the ORF5 gene that synthesizes glycosylated protein 5 (GP5) from PRRS virus detected in pig farms in Lima, Perú.

In vaccine trials with long-term participant follow-up, it is of great importance to identify surrogate markers that accurately infer long-term immune responses. These markers offer practical advantages such as providing early, indirect evidence of vaccine efficacy, and can accelerate vaccine development while identifying potential biomarkers. High-throughput technologies such as RNA-sequencing have emerged as promising tools for understanding complex biological systems and informing new treatment strategies.

Printing paper represents one of the most prevalent forms of physical evidence in document forensics, where accurate brand and model identification provides critical investigative leads. To enable rapid, precise identification of commercial printing paper brands, we propose a novel method combining 3D fluorescence spectroscopy with an enhanced ResNet34 network. First, 3D fluorescence contour maps of diverse paper brands were acquired across excitation (280-420 nm) and emission (300-592 nm) wavelengths.

However, this approach infers rather than quantify aptamer specificity. Here we present a novel strategy for directly quantifying aptamer specificity within enriched libraries termed Aptamer Specificity Sequencing for Efficient Targeting (ASSET).

Droplet-based single cell technologies, particularly those based on nuclei isolation, such as simultaneous RNA+ATAC single-cell multiome, are susceptible to exogenous ambient molecule contamination, which can increase noise in cell type-level associations. We reasoned that genotype-based sample multiplexing can provide an opportunity to infer this ambient contamination by leveraging DNA variation in sequenced reads.
