AbstractNetworks are a powerful way to represent the complexity of complex ecological systems. However, most ecological networks are incompletely observed, e.g., food webs typically contain only partial lists of species interactions. Computational methods for inferring such missing links from observed networks can facilitate field work and investigations of the ecological processes that shape food webs.

AbstractThe prioritization of Structural Variants (SV), which is needed to rank and identify potential pathogenic alleles, is still in its infancy. This is exemplified over gnomAD only being able to annotate 33.5% of GIAB SVs. To overcome this, we present the first long-read based annotation resource for both GRCh38 and CHM13-T2T reference using STIX.

eLife assessment Efforts to increase the representation of women in academia have focussed on efforts to recruit more women and to reduce the attrition of women. This study - which is based on analyses of data on more than 250,000 tenured and tenure-track faculty from the period 2011-2020, and the predictions of counterfactual models - shows that hiring more women has a bigger impact than reducing attrition.

AbstractLink prediction algorithms are indispensable tools in many scientific applications by speeding up network data collection and imputing missing connections. However, in many systems, links change over time and it remains unclear how to optimally exploit such temporal information for link predictions in such networks.
