Background: The study of sample taxonomic composition has evolved from direct observations and labor-intensive morphological studies to different DNA sequencing methodologies. Most of these studies leverage the metabarcoding approach, which involves the amplification of a small taxonomically-informative portion of the genome and its subsequent high-throughput sequencing. Recent advances in sequencing technology brought by Oxford Nanopore Technologies have revolutionized the field, enabling portability, affordable cost and long-read sequencing, therefore leading to a significant increase in taxonomic resolution.

High-energy extensions to general relativity modify the Einstein-Hilbert action with higher-order curvature corrections and theory-specific coupling constants. The order of these corrections imprints a universal curvature dependence on observations while the coupling constant controls the deviation strength. In this Letter, we leverage the theory-independent expectation that modifications to the action of a given order in spacetime curvature (Riemann tensor and contractions) lead to observational deviations that scale with the system length scale to a corresponding power.

Background: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a rapid shift to virtual care in health care settings, inclusive of mental health care. Understanding clients' perspectives on virtual mental health care quality will be critical to informing future policies and practices.
Objective: This study aimed to outline the process of redesigning and validating the Virtual Client Experience Survey (VCES), which can be used to evaluate client and family experiences of virtual care, specifically virtual mental health and addiction care.

Background: Cognition and its two critical proxies, socioeconomic status (SES) and educational attainment (EA), contribute substantially to human health and are heritable. Elucidating the genetic characteristics of SES/EA/Cognition not only helps to understand the innate individual differences in cognition, but also aids in unraveling the biological mechanisms of complex cognitive-related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we explored the rare and common protein-coding variants impacting the comprehensive cognition phenotypic spectrum by leveraging large-scale exomes.

Background: Two-thirds of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) cases are women, and our team has identified molecular factors that relate to disease in a sex-specific manner. Here, we leverage single-cell transcriptomics from dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (N = 424) from the Religious Orders Study and Memory and Aging Project (ROS/MAP; AD Knowledge Portal syn2580853) to characterize sex-specific contributors at cellular resolution.
Method: Single-nucleic RNAseq data was generated and processed as previously described.
