Bridge Category Models: Development of Bayesian Modelling Procedures to Account for Bridge Ordinal Ratings for Disease Staging

J. Levy, C. A. Bobak, N. Azizgolshani, M. J. Andersen, A. Suriawinata, X. Liu, M. Lisovsky, B. Ren, B. Christensen, L. Vaickus, J. O'Malley

The paper develops Bayesian models to handle bridge ordinal ratings in disease staging and shows they reduce bias and precision loss in models.

The catheterized bladder environment promotes Efg1- and Als1-dependent Candida albicans infection

A. A. La Bella, M. J. Andersen, N. Gervais, J. J. Molina, A. Molesan, P. V. Stuckey, L. Wensing, C. J. Nobile, R. S. Shapiro, F. H. Santiago-Tirado, A. L. Flores-Mireles

This study identifies Efg1- and Als1-dependent mechanisms by which Candida albicans forms biofilms and causes infection in the catheterized bladder environment.

c-di-AMP is essential for the virulence of Enterococcus faecalis

S. Kundra, L. N. Lam, J. K. Kajfasz, L. Casella, M. J. Andersen, J. Abranches, A. Flores-Mireles, J. A. Lemos

This study shows that c-di-AMP is essential for the virulence of Enterococcus faecalis, as its absence or accumulation impairs cell fitness and pathogenicity in multiple models.

Uneven missing data skews phylogenomic relationships within the lories and lorikeets

B. T. Smith, W. M. Mauck, B. Benz, M. J. Andersen

This study investigates how uneven missing data affects phylogenomic relationships in lories and lorikeets, finding that low coverage sites and missing data skew tree topologies.

Parachute geckos free fall into synonymy: Gekko phylogeny, and a new subgeneric classification, inferred from thousands of ultraconserved elements

P. L. Wood, X. Guo, S. L. Travers, Y.-C. Su, K. V. Olson, A. M. Bauer, L. L. Grismer, C. D. Siler, R. G. Moyle, M. J. Andersen, R. M. Brown

This paper uses ultraconserved elements to resolve phylogenetic relationships in gekkonid lizards, leading to a new subgeneric classification within the genus Gekko.
