Curated variation benchmarks for challenging medically relevant autosomal genes

February 7, 2022
Author(s)
Justin Wagner, Nathanael David Olson, Lindsay Harris, Jennifer McDaniel, Fritz Sedlazeck, Chen-Shan Chin, Justin Zook
The repetitive nature and complexity of some medically relevant genes poses a challenge for their accurate analysis in a clinical setting. The Genome in a Bottle Consortium has provided variant benchmark sets, but these exclude nearly 400 medically

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Impact on Fire Safety Standards

February 1, 2022
Author(s)
Benjamin M. Miller, Tom Latourrette, Drake Warren, David Metz
Standards provide critical benefits across a wide variety of contexts, including safety and health, environmental protection, and quality of products and services. However, while these benefits are generally acknowledged, estimating the social and economic

A Fundamental Equation of State for Vinyl Chloride

January 10, 2022
Author(s)
Monika Thol, Florian Fenkl, Eric W. Lemmon
A fundamental equation of state in terms of the Helmholtz energy is presented for vinyl chloride. Due to its fundamental nature, it can be used to consistently calculate all thermodynamic state properties in the fluid region. Based on the underlying
