The thesis project is an essential step to obtain an MSc degree. Within STEM and Life Sciences disciplines, computational theses have specific characteristics that differentiate them from wet laboratory ones. In this article, we present Ten simple rules to direct and support Master students who are about to start a computational research project for their Master thesis.

Background: Developmental regression in children, in the absence of neurological damage or trauma, presents a significant diagnostic challenge. The complexity is further compounded when it is associated with psychotic symptoms.
Method: We discuss a case series of ten children aged 6-10 years, with neurotypical development, presenting with late-onset developmental regression (>6 years of age), their clinical course and outcome at 1 year.

Background: For patients with small-size colorectal liver metastases, growing evidence suggests thermal ablation to be associated with fewer adverse events and faster recovery than resection while also challenging resection in terms of local control and overall survival. This study assessed the potential non-inferiority of thermal ablation compared with surgical resection in patients with small-size resectable colorectal liver metastases.
Methods: Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) from 14 centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy with ten or fewer small-size (≤3 cm) colorectal liver metastases, no extrahepatic metastases, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, were stratified per centre, and according to their disease burden, into low, intermediate, and high disease burden subgroups and randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either thermal ablation (experimental group) or surgical resection (control group) of all target colorectal liver metastases using the web-based module Castor electronic data capture with variable block sizes of 4, 6, and 8.

Computational models are complex scientific constructs that have become essential for us to better understand the world. Many models are valuable for peers within and beyond disciplinary boundaries. However, there are no widely agreed-upon standards for sharing models.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequence compressors for novel species frequently face challenges when processing wide-scale raw, FASTA, or multi-FASTA structured data. For years, molecular sequence databases have favored the widely used general-purpose Gzip and Zstd compressors. The absence of sequence-specific characteristics in these encoders results in subpar performance, and their use depends on time-consuming parameter adjustments.
