Background: Access to healthcare services for women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is crucial for maternal and child health and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, women in LMICs face barriers to accessing healthcare, leading to poor health outcomes. This study used Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from 61 LMICs between 2010-2023 to identify women's healthcare access challenges.

Genetic competition can obscure the true merit of selection candidates, potentially leading to altered genotype rankings and a divergence between expected and actual genetic gains. Despite a wealth of literature on genetic competition in plant and animal breeding, the separation of genetic values into direct genetic effects (DGE, related to a genotype's merit) and indirect genetic effects (IGE, related to the effects of a genotype's alleles on its neighbor's phenotype) in linear mixed models is often overlooked, likely due to the complexity involved. To address this, we introduce gencomp, a new R package designed to simplify the use of (spatial-) genetic competition models in crop and tree breeding routines.

Live-cell microscopy routinely provides massive amounts of time-lapse images of complex cellular systems under various physiological or therapeutic conditions. However, this wealth of data remains difficult to interpret in terms of causal effects. Here, we describe CausalXtract, a flexible computational pipeline that discovers causal and possibly time-lagged effects from morphodynamic features and cell-cell interactions in live-cell imaging data.

Background: Amplified imaging of microRNA (miRNA) in cancer cells is essential for understanding of the underlying pathological process. Synthetic catalytic DNA circuits represent pivotal tools for miRNA imaging. However, most existing catalytic DNA circuits can not achieve the reactant recycling operation in cells and in vivo.

Ochrophyta is a vast and morphologically diverse group of algae with complex plastids, including familiar taxa with fundamental ecological importance (diatoms or kelp) and a wealth of lesser-known and obscure organisms. The sheer diversity of ochrophytes poses a challenge for reconstructing their phylogeny, with major gaps in sampling and an unsettled placement of particular taxa yet to be tackled. We sequenced transcriptomes from 25 strategically selected representatives and used these data to build the most taxonomically comprehensive ochrophyte-centered phylogenomic supermatrix to date.
