We propose a new algorithm for sampling the N-body density mid R:Psi(R)mid R:(2)R(3N)mid R:Psimid R:(2) in the variational Monte Carlo framework. This algorithm is based upon a modified Ricci-Ciccotti discretization of the Langevin dynamics in the phase space (R,P) improved by a Metropolis-Hastings accept/reject step. We show through some representative numerical examples (lithium, fluorine, and copper atoms and phenol molecule) that this algorithm is superior to the standard sampling algorithm based on the biased random walk (importance sampling).

Background: The reformulation of commonly consumed foods towards less sugar, fat, and salt is an important public health strategy to improve food choices of consumers and thus address the high prevalence of overweight and obesity. Front-of-pack nutrition labels like the Nutri-Score may drive reformulation and support nutritionally favourable food choices. Breakfast cereals are of special interest in that they tend to be high in sugar and are relatively often targeted at children.

Background: Mitochondrial dysregulation contributes to the chemoresistance of multiple cancer types. Yet, the functions of mitochondrial dysregulation in Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OSC) remain largely unknown.
Aim: We sought to investigate the function of mitochondrial dysregulation in OSC from the bioinformatics perspective.

Background: DNA methylation (DNAm) data from human samples has been leveraged to develop "epigenetic clock" algorithms that predict age and other aging-related phenotypes. Some DNAm clocks were trained using DNAm obtained from blood cells, while other clocks were trained using data from diverse tissue/cell types. To assess how DNAm clocks perform across non-blood tissue types, we applied DNAm algorithms to DNAm data generated from 9 different human tissue types.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by symptoms such as hyperandrogenemia, oligo or anovulation and polycystic ovarian, significantly impacting quality of life. However, the practical implementation of machine learning (ML) in PCOS diagnosis is hindered by the limitations related to data size and algorithmic models.

Background: Accurate classification of host phenotypes from microbiome data is crucial for advancing microbiome-based therapies, with machine learning offering effective solutions. However, the complexity of the gut microbiome, data sparsity, compositionality, and population-specificity present significant challenges. Microbiome data transformations can alleviate some of the aforementioned challenges, but their usage in machine learning tasks has largely been unexplored.
