Causal Discovery Toolbox: Uncovering causal relationships in Python

This paper presents a new open source Python framework for causal discovery from observational data and domain background knowledge, aimed at causal graph and causal mechanism modeling. The cdt package implements an end-to-end approach, recovering the direct dependencies (the skeleton of the causal graph) and the causal relationships between variables. It includes algorithms from the `Bnlearn' and `Pcalg' packages, together with algorithms for pairwise causal discovery such as ANM.

Climate is changing. Food and agriculture must too.

On the frontline of climate change, effects are real and measurable. As climate change evolves, food and agriculture need to follow suit.

Simultaneously, the world’s population is growing steadily and expected to reach [...]

Using the Xenopus Oocyte Toolbox

The Xenopus oocyte is a unique model system, allowing both the study of complex biological processes within a cellular context through expression of exogenous mRNAs and proteins, and the study of the cell, molecular, and developmental biology of the oocyte itself. During oogenesis, Xenopus oocytes grow dramatically in size, with a mature oocyte having a diameter of ~1.3 mm, and become highly polarized, localizing many mRNAs and proteins. Thus, the mature oocyte is a repository of maternal mRNAs and proteins that will direct early embryogenesis prior to zygotic genome transcription. Importantly, the Xenopus oocyte also has the capacity to translate exogenous microinjected RNAs, which has enabled breakthroughs in a wide range of areas including cell biology, developmental biology, molecular biology, and physiology. This introduction outlines how Xenopus oocytes can be used to study a variety of important biological questions.

Screening Tools for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Primary Care: A Systematic Evidence Review

CONTEXT:

Recommendations conflict regarding universal application of formal screening instruments in primary care (PC) and PC-like settings for autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

OBJECTIVES:

We systematically reviewed evidence for universal screening of children for ASD in PC.

DATA SOURCES:

We searched Medline, PsychInfo, Educational Resources Informational Clearinghouse, and Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature.

STUDY SELECTION:

We included studies in which researchers report psychometric properties of screening tools in unselected populations across PC and PC-like settings.

DATA EXTRACTION:

At least 2 authors reviewed each study, extracted data, checked accuracy, and assigned quality ratings using predefined criteria.

RESULTS:

We found evidence for moderate to high positive predictive values for ASD screening tools to identify children aged 16 to 40 months and 1 study for ≥48 months in PC and PC-like settings. Limited evidence evaluating sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of instruments was available. No studies directly evaluated the impact of screening on treatment or harm.

LIMITATIONS:

Potential limitations include publication bias, selective reporting within studies, and a constrained search.

CONCLUSIONS:

ASD screening tools can be used to accurately identify percentages of unselected populations of young children for ASD in PC and PC-like settings. The scope of challenges associated with establishing direct linkage suggests that clinical and policy groups will likely continue to guide screening practices. ASD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder associated with significant life span costs.1,2 Growing evidence supports functional gains and improved outcomes for young children receiving intensive intervention, so early identification on a population level is a pressing public health challenge.3,4
