Cholesterol Metabolism by the Human Gut Microbiota
(2020-11-23)The human microbiome encodes extensive metabolic capabilities, but our understanding of the mechanisms linking gut microbes to human metabolism remains limited. Here, we focus on the conversion of cholesterol to the poorly ... -
Choosing a Data Model and Query Language for Provenance
(Springer, 2008)The ancestry relationships found in provenance form a directed graph. Many provenance queries require traversal of this graph. The data and query models for provenance should directly and naturally address this graph-centric ... -
Choosing Controls Wisely to Improve Power in Infectious Disease Genome-Wide Association Studies
(2017-10-13)This thesis addresses a crucial aspect of the design of infectious disease genome-wide association studies (GWAS's): the selection of a control group. In particular, we examined how the level of pathogen exposure within ... -
Choosing Electoral Rules: Theory and Evidence from US Cities
(2005)This paper studies the choice of electoral rules, in particular, the question of minority representation. Majorities tend to disenfranchise minorities through strategic manipulation of electoral rules. With the aim of ... -
Choosing Samples to Compute Heuristic-Strategy Nash Equilibrium
(Springer, 2004)Auctions define games of incomplete information for which it is often too hard to compute the exact Bayesian-Nash equilibrium. Instead, the infinite strategy space is often populated with heuristic strategies, such as ... -
Choosing Wisely for Syncope: Low‐Value Carotid Ultrasound Use
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Background: The United States spends more than $750 billion annually on tests and procedures that do not benefit patients. Although there is no physiological indication for carotid ultrasound in “simple” syncope in the ... -

CHOPCHOP v2: a web tool for the next generation of CRISPR genome engineering
(Oxford University Press, 2016)In just 3 years CRISPR genome editing has transformed biology, and its popularity and potency continue to grow. New CRISPR effectors and rules for locating optimum targets continue to be reported, highlighting the need for ... -
CHOPCHOP: a CRISPR/Cas9 and TALEN web tool for genome editing
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Major advances in genome editing have recently been made possible with the development of the TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9 methods. The speed and ease of implementing these technologies has led to an explosion of mutant and ... -
The Choral Architecture of Pindar’s Eighth Paean
(2016)This paper argues that the interplay between the narrative and performance of Pindar’s eighth paean embeds it within the physical environment of Delphi, at the site of the Alcmaeonid temple for which it was composed. The ... -
ChordRipple: Recommending Chords to Help Novice Composers Go Beyond the Ordinary
(2016)Novice composers often find it difficult to go beyond common chord progressions. To make it easier for composers to experiment with radical chord choices, we built a creativity support tool, CHORDRIPPLE, which makes chord ... -
Choroid-Plexus-Derived Otx2 Homeoprotein Constrains Adult Cortical Plasticity
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Brain plasticity is often restricted to critical periods in early life. Here, we show that a key regulator of this process in the visual cortex, Otx2 homeoprotein, is synthesized and secreted globally from the choroid ... -
