ein catabolic process in the nucleus accumbens, caudate, and putamen. TMEM163 and ZRANB3 were both important in modules in the frontal cortex and caudate, respectively, indicating regulation of signaling and cell communication. Protein interactor analysis and simulations using random networks demonstrated that the candidate genes interact significantly more with known mendelian PD and parkinsonism proteins than would be expected by chance. Together, these results suggest that several candidate genes and pathways are associated with the findings observed in PD GWAS studies. Together, these results suggest that several candidate genes and pathways are associated with the findings observed in PD GWAS studies. Data generated from high-throughput technologies such as sequencing, microarray and bead-chip technologies are unavoidably affected by batch effects. Large effort has been put into developing methods for correcting these effects. Often, batch effect correction and hypothesis testing cannot be done with one single model, but are done successively with separate models in data analysis pipelines. This potentially leads to biased p-values or false discovery rates due to the influence of batch effect correction on the data. We present a novel approach for estimating null distributions of test statistics in data analysis pipelines where batch effect correction is followed by linear model analysis. The approach is based on generating simulated datasets by random rotation and thereby retains the dependence structure of genes adequately. This allows estimating null distributions of dependent test statistics and thus the calculation of resampling based p-values and false discovery rates following batch effect correction while maintaining the alpha level. The described methods are implemented as randRotation package on Bioconductor https//bioconductor.org/packages/randRotation/. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Hi-C matrices are cornerstones for qualitative and quantitative studies of genome folding, from its territorial organization to compartments and topological domains. The high dynamic range of genomic distances probed in Hi-C assays reflects in an inherent stochastic background of the interactions matrices, which inevitably convolve the features of interest with largely non-specific ones. Here we introduce and discuss essHi-C, a method to isolate the specific, or essential component of Hi-C matrices from the non-specific portion of the spectrum that is compatible with random matrices. Systematic comparisons show that essHi-C improves the clarity of the interaction patterns, enhances the robustness against sequencing depth of topologically associating domains identification, allows the unsupervised clustering of experiments in different cell lines and recovers the cell-cycle phasing of single-cells based on Hi-C data. Thus, essHi-C provides means for isolating significant biological and physical features from Hi-C matrices. The essHi-C software package is available at https//github.com/stefanofranzini/essHIC .

Concussion ranks among the most common injuries in football. selleck kinase inhibitor Beyond the risks of concussion are growing concerns that repetitive head impact exposure (HIE) may increase risk for long-term neurologic health problems in football players. To investigate the pattern of concussion incidence and HIE across the football season in collegiate football players. In this observational cohort study conducted from 2015 to 2019 across 6 Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) football programs participating in the Concussion Assessment, Research, and Educ
