Researcher Perspectives on Data Sharing in Deep Brain Stimulation

The expansion of research on deep brain stimulation (DBS) and adaptive DBS (aDBS) raises important neuroethics and policy questions related to data sharing.However, there has been little empirical research on the perspectives of experts developing these technologies.We conducted semi-structured, open-ended interviews with aDBS researchers regarding

Modes of transmission of influenza B virus in households.

While influenza A and B viruses can be transmitted via respiratory droplets, the importance of small droplet nuclei "aerosols" in transmission is controversial.In Hong Kong and Bangkok, in 2008-11, subjects were recruited from outpatient clinics if they had recent onset of acute respiratory illness and none of their household contacts were ill.Foll

CRISPR/Cas9-based depletion of 16S ribosomal RNA improves library complexity of single-cell RNA-sequencing in planarians

Abstract Background Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) relies on PCR amplification to retrieve information from vanishingly small amounts of starting material.To selectively enrich mRNA from abundant non-polyadenylated transcripts, poly(A) selection is a key step during library preparation.However, some transcripts, such as mitochondrial genes,
