Summary: The availability of computational hardware and developments in medical machine learning have increased the clinical usability of medical mixed realities. To further accelerate the implementation of machine learning and mixed reality in the medical field, publicly available 3D datasets of medical instruments should be provided. These datasets can be used for instrument detection, tracking, and training in various medical settings.

Summary: In this study, a tumor phylogeny method called TUSV-ext was developed, which integrates single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), copy number alterations (CNAs), and structural variations (SVs) into a single inference framework. The accuracy and usability of the method were demonstrated through simulations and application to real tumor data, revealing the evolutionary tree and clonal structure of the tumor.

Summary: ksrates is a user-friendly command-line tool used to position ancient whole-genome duplication events with respect to speciation events in a phylogeny. It compares paralog and ortholog K-S distributions derived from genomic or transcriptomic sequences, while adjusting for substitution rate differences among the lineages involved.

Summary: Electrocatalysis research is accelerated by measuring reaction kinetics through electrical signals. In the presence of competing electrochemical reactions, it is crucial for experimenters to connect these signals to the intended reaction. This Comment emphasizes the measurement of Faradaic efficiency to support claims about electrocatalyst activity, selectivity, and stability, while discussing reliable methods for its measurement in the field.

Summary: The study utilized a machine learning approach to predict associations between mammals and multiple coronaviruses, estimating the potential for novel coronavirus generation through recombination. It demonstrated a significant underestimation of the scale of novel coronavirus generation in wild and domesticated animals, while also identifying high-risk species for coronavirus surveillance.

Summary: The history of rDNA research began almost 90 years ago with observations on the formation and function of nucleoli in maize, leading to the identification of ribosomes as the sites of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. Studies in the mid- to late 1960s on nuclear-encoded rRNA transcripts laid the groundwork for research on nucleolar dominance, epigenetic silencing, and rDNA loci interactions. Initial research on rDNA in plants at the dawn of molecular biology in the 60s and 80s provided a foundation for understanding the synthesis, processing, and organization of rRNA genes, as well as the impact of hybridization and allopolyploidy on rDNA expression and homogenization.

Summary: The waste management sector is going through significant transformations, driven by the circular economy. Scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in this field can benefit from connecting with industrial dynamics research, which focuses on economic transformation processes and structures. Three important themes for interdisciplinary investigation are industry evolution and institutions, business organization and management, and technological change, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Studying the industrial dynamics of waste management provides insights into the structural changes, driving forces, and directions of transforming waste into resources.
