Stem cell maintenance in multilayered shoot apical meristems (SAMs) of plants requires strict regulation of cell growth and division. Exactly how the complex milieu of chemical and mechanical signals interact in the central region of the SAM to regulate cell division plane orientation is not well understood. In this paper, simulations using a newly...

Optimal control simulations have shown that both musculoskeletal dynamics and physiological noise are important determinants of movement. However, due to the limited efficiency of available computational tools, deterministic simulations of movement focus on accurately modelling the musculoskeletal system while neglecting physiological noise, and st...

Multi-criteria decision analysis is a quantitative approach to the drug benefit-risk assessment which allows for consistent comparisons by summarising all benefits and risks in a single score. The multi-criteria decision analysis consists of several components, one of which is the utility (or loss) score function that defines how benefits and risks...

This collection of contributions from the European Network on Understanding Gastrointestinal Absorption-related Processes (UNGAP) community assembly aims to provide information on some of the current and newer methods employed to study the behaviour of medicines. It is the product of interactions in the immediate pre-Covid period when UNGAP members...

Funder: European Molecular Biology Laboratory / Funder: Schmidt Futures Foundation / Sequence simulators are fundamental tools in bioinformatics, as they allow us to test data processing and inference tools, and are an essential component of some inference methods. The ongoing surge in available sequence data is however testing the limits of our bi...

Simulation can be an efficient approach to design, evaluate, and optimize breeding programs. In the era of modern agriculture, breeding programs can benefit from a simulator that integrates various sources of big data and accommodates state-of-the-art statistical models. The initial release of XSim, in which stochastic descendants can be efficientl...

The Monte Carlo Command Line application (MCCL) is an open-source software package that provides Monte Carlo simulations of radiative transport through heterogeneous turbid media. MCCL is available on GitHub through our virtualphotonics.org website, is actively supported, and carries extensive documentation. Here, we describe the main technical cap...

Funder: Department of Health {UK) / Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are increasingly being applied to investigate the genetic basis of bacterial traits. However, approaches to perform power calculations for bacterial GWAS are limited. Here we implemented two alternative approaches to conduct power calculations using existing collections of b...

Stochastic simulation is a key tool in population genetics, since the models involved are often analytically intractable and simulation is usually the only way of obtaining ground-truth data to evaluate inferences. Because of this, a large number of specialized simulation programs have been developed, each filling a particular niche, but with large...

Background 3D reconstruction technology could revolutionise medicine. Within surgery, 3D reconstruction has a growing role in operative planning and procedures, surgical education and training as well as patient engagement. Whilst virtual and 3D printed models are already used in many surgical specialities, oesophagogastric surgery has been slow in...
