Characterization of HLA-DR immunopeptidome of bronchoalveolar lavage cells in patients with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and healthy current-smoker controls

This study characterizes the HLA-DR immunopeptidome in lung cells of early RA patients and healthy smokers, finding that HLA-DR genotype drives the immunopeptidome more than RA status or sex.

Enhancing the Robustness of OPLS Modelling in Small Cohorts by Leveraging Permutation Analysis Prior to Variable Selection

This paper introduces a permutation-based approach to improve OPLS model robustness in small cohorts by adjusting Q2 values and using variable selection with Elastic Net.

A gene-based capture assay for surveying patterns of genetic diversity and insecticide resistance in a worldwide group of invasive mosquitoes

The paper develops a gene-based capture assay to study genetic diversity and insecticide resistance in invasive mosquitoes, showing its effectiveness in analyzing taxonomic clustering and resistance alleles.
