Cancer is a major killer threatening modern human health and a leading cause of death worldwide. Due to the heterogeneity and complexity of cancer, traditional treatments have limited effectiveness. To address this problem, an increasing number of researchers and medical professionals are working to develop new ways to treat cancer.

In the GWAS model, thresholding is common strategy to indicate deviation of expected range of -(s), and it can be used to find the distribution of true positive associations under or over of test statistics. Therefore, the threshold plays a critical role to identify reliable and significant associations in wide genome, while the proportion of false positive results is relatively low.

In this editorial, I reflect on the implications of social, technological and cultural change for children and young people. Whilst we have a reasonably good understanding of trends in certain aspects of child development (e.g.

Background: Toxic heavy metal elements in soils are major global environmental issues and easily migrate to crop grains to cause severe problems in human health, whereas moderately essential elements such as selenium are beneficial for human health. The accumulation of heavy metals and essential elements in rice grains and their genetic mechanisms are still poorly understood.
Results: We conducted genetic dissection of four toxic heavy metal elements (lead, cadmium, mercury, and chromium), one quasi metallic element (arsenic), and one essential element (selenium) in grains of 290 Xian and 308 Geng rice accessions through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on three statistical models and assays of element concentrations from three environments.

More than two decades of social scientific research has identified the growing network of corporations, think tanks, nonprofits, and advocacy organizations that aim to obstruct climate change action within the United States. Conventional arguments emphasize the role of economic self-interest (e.g.
