Visual Misrepresentations: The Lack of Skin Tone and Sex Equity in General Surgical Textbooks.

Objective: Lack of racial and ethnic diversity in educational material contributes to health disparities. This study sought to determine if images of skin color and sex in general surgery textbooks were reflective of the U.S.

LncGSEA: a versatile tool to infer lncRNA associated pathways from large-scale cancer transcriptome sequencing data.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a growing focus in cancer research. Deciphering pathways influenced by lncRNAs is important to understand their role in cancer. Although knock-down or overexpression of lncRNAs followed by gene expression profiling in cancer cell lines are established approaches to address this problem, these experimental data are not available for a majority of the annotated lncRNAs.
