Genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of a quorum sensing positive Psychrobacter isolate identified several quorum sensing associated systems

Research

Longitudinal Cognitive Performance in Individuals at Ultrahigh Risk for Psychosis: A 10-year Follow-up

The onset of psychosis was not associated with deterioration in cognitive ability

Research

In Epigenomic Studies, Including Cell-Type Adjustments in Regression Models Can Introduce Multicollinearity, Resulting in Apparent Reversal of Direction of Association

Where cell types are highly correlated with other covariates in regression models, the statistical assumption of no multicollinearity may be violated
