Deletion of the Stress Response Gene from Increases Sensitivity to Oxidative Stress, Increases Susceptibility to Antifungals, and Decreases Fitness in Macrophages.

The stress response gene has been characterized in and to be involved in combating various cellular stressors, from oxidative agents to antifungal compounds. Surprisingly, the biological function of has yet to be identified, though it is likely an important part of the stress response. To gain insight into its function, we characterized in the dimorphic fungal pathogen .

Not every credible interval is credible: Evaluating robustness in the presence of contamination in Bayesian data analysis.

As Bayesian methods become more popular among behavioral scientists, they will inevitably be applied in situations that violate the assumptions underpinning typical models used to guide statistical inference. With this in mind, it is important to know something about how robust Bayesian methods are to the violation of those assumptions. In this paper, we focus on the problem of contaminated data (such as data with outliers or conflicts present), with specific application to the problem of estimating a credible interval for the population mean.
