A new method for functional analysis of plastid EMBRYO-DEFECTIVE PPR genes by efficiently constructing cosuppression lines in Arabidopsis

Abstract Background Pentatricopeptide-repeat proteins (PPRs) characterized by tandem arrays of a degenerate 35-amino-acid repeat (PPR motif) can bind a single strand RNA and regulate organelle gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, including RNA cleavage, splicing, editing and stability etc.PPRs are conserved in all eukaryotes and extre

Privacy-protecting estimation of adjusted risk ratios using modified Poisson regression in multi-center studies

Abstract Background Multi-center studies can generate robust and generalizable evidence, but privacy considerations and legal restrictions often make it challenging or impossible to pool individual-level data across data-contributing sites.With binary outcomes, privacy-protecting distributed algorithms to conduct logistic regression analyses have b
