  • Understanding Biological Design from Synthetic Circuits
    REVIEWS MODELLING Synthetic biology: understanding biological design from synthetic circuits Shankar Mukherji* and Alexander van Oudenaarden‡ Abstract | An important aim of synthetic biology is to uncover the design principles of natural biological systems through the rational design of gene and protein circuits. Here, we highlight how the process of engineering biological systems — from synthetic promoters to the control of cell–cell interactions — has contributed to our understanding of how endogenous systems are put together and function. Synthetic biological devices allow us to grasp intuitively the ranges of behaviour generated by simple biological circuits, such as linear cascades and interlocking feedback loops, as well as to exert control over natural processes, such as gene expression and population dynamics. 10–12 Modularity One of the most astounding findings of the Human potential clinical applications .

  • Towards Population-Scale Long-Read Sequencing
    REVIEWS Towards population-scale long-read sequencing Wouter De Coster 1,2,5, Matthias H. Weissensteiner3,5 and Fritz J. Sedlazeck 4 ✉ Abstract | Long-read sequencing technologies have now reached a level of accuracy and yield that allows their application to variant detection at a scale of tens to thousands of samples. Concomitant with the development of new computational tools, the first population-scale studies involving long-read sequencing have emerged over the past 2 years and, given the continuous advancement of the field, many more are likely to follow. In this Review, we survey recent developments in population-scale long-read sequencing, highlight potential challenges of a scaled-up approach and provide guidance regarding experimental design. We provide an overview of current long-read sequencing platforms, variant calling methodologies and approaches for de novo assemblies and reference-based mapping approaches. Furthermore, we summarize strategies for variant validation, genotyping and predicting functional impact and emphasize challenges remaining in achieving long-read sequencing at a population scale.

    A METHODOLOGY FOR STUDYING FIELD DIFFERENCES IN SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION - EXPLAINING OPENNESS AND SHARING IN TWO SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES IN THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Theresa Velden August 2011 c 2011 Theresa Velden ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A METHODOLOGY FOR STUDYING FIELD DIFFERENCES IN SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION - EXPLAINING OPENNESS AND SHARING IN TWO SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES IN THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES Theresa Velden, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation is about differences in communication practices across scien- tific fields, and how to study those differences. It explores how differences in communicative behavior of scientists can be traced back to differences in the kind of research they are doing. The focus is on one aspect of scientific commu- nication in particular: how openly do research teams within a research specialty share scientific knowledge? This question is of particular relevance vis-a-vis` the World Wide Web’s innovative potential to connect people and information worldwide. For the sciences this translates into an increased immediacy with which scientists can access and exchange scientific knowledge, as well as new ways of (re)evaluating, combining, and mining data. The methodological ap- proach developed in this study combines qualitative (ethnographic) and quanti- tative (network analytic) methods. This approach supports scaling-up nuanced local ethnographic field studies to the aggregate level of research specialties for comparison between fields. Behavioral patterns are captured and quanti- fied through structural analyses of publication networks that are constructed from the accumulated 20-year publication output of a research specialty.

  • Uptake and Outcome of Manuscripts in Nature Journals by Review Model and Author Characteristics Barbara Mcgillivray1,2* and Elisa De Ranieri3
    McGillivray and De Ranieri Research Integrity and Peer Review (2018) 3:5 Research Integrity and https://doi.org/10.1186/s41073-018-0049-z Peer Review RESEARCH Open Access Uptake and outcome of manuscripts in Nature journals by review model and author characteristics Barbara McGillivray1,2* and Elisa De Ranieri3 Abstract Background: Double-blind peer review has been proposed as a possible solution to avoid implicit referee bias in academic publishing. The aims of this study are to analyse the demographics of corresponding authors choosing double-blind peer review and to identify differences in the editorial outcome of manuscripts depending on their review model. Methods: Data includes 128,454 manuscripts received between March 2015 and February 2017 by 25 Nature- branded journals. We investigated the uptake of double-blind review in relation to journal tier, as well as gender, country, and institutional prestige of the corresponding author. We then studied the manuscripts’ editorial outcome in relation to review model and author’s characteristics. The gender (male, female, or NA) of the corresponding authors was determined from their first name using a third-party service (Gender API). The prestige of the corresponding author’s institutions was measured from the data of the Global Research Identifier Database (GRID) by dividing institutions in three prestige groups with reference to the 2016 Times Higher Education (THE) ranking. We employed descriptive statistics for data exploration, and we tested our hypotheses using Pearson’s chi-square and binomial tests. We also performed logistic regression modelling with author update, out-to-review, and acceptance as response, and journal tier, author gender, author country, and institution as predictors.
