Straining to justify strain measurement.
A broad array of cardiac imaging research and technique development has been deployed in the quest to define the earliest myocardial changes of cardiomyopathy so that earlier detection may afford more timely institution of therapy and improved outcomes. Recognition that high-resolution measures of myocardial deformation can be abnormal before global contractile dysfunction has further fueled de...
متن کاملStandardized Metadata for Human Pathogen/Vector Genomic Sequences
High throughput sequencing has accelerated the determination of genome sequences for thousands of human infectious disease pathogens and dozens of their vectors. The scale and scope of these data are enabling genotype-phenotype association studies to identify genetic determinants of pathogen virulence and drug/insecticide resistance, and phylogenetic studies to track the origin and spread of di...
متن کاملReconstructed Ancestral Sequences Improve Pathogen Identification Using Resequencing DNA Microarrays
We describe the benefit of using reconstructed ancestral sequences (RAS) on resequencing microarrays for rapid pathogen identification, with Enterobacteriaceae rpoB sequences as a model. Our results demonstrate a sharp improvement of call rate and accuracy when using RASs as compared to extant sequences. This improvement was attributed to the lower sequence divergence of RASs, which also expand...
متن کاملWhen are pathogen genome sequences informative of transmission events?
Recent years have seen the development of numerous methodologies for reconstructing transmission trees in infectious disease outbreaks from densely sampled whole genome sequence data. However, a fundamental and as of yet poorly addressed limitation of such approaches is the requirement for genetic diversity to arise on epidemiological timescales. Specifically, the position of infected individua...
متن کاملPhylodynamics without trees: estimating R0 directly from pathogen sequences
We develop a new tree-free phylodynamic method to estimate the reproduction number (R0) of a pathogen from large numbers of sequences of a pathogen. It is based on the convergence of the cherry-to-tip ratio (CTR) to a constant depending on R0 in supercritical branching trees. It is a tree-free method because tree reconstruction is not required: the number of cherries and the CTR is estimated di...
