A hitchhiker's guide to survival finally makes CENs
نویسنده
چکیده
Most strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain many copies of a 2-microm plasmid, a selfish autonomously replicating DNA that relies on two different mechanisms to ensure its survival. One of these mechanisms involves the high fidelity segregation of the plasmids to daughter cells during cell division, a property that is starkly reminiscent of centromeres. A new study reported in this issue (see Hajra et al. on p. 779) demonstrates that this high fidelity is achieved by the 2-microm plasmid, effectively recruiting the centromeric histone Cse4 from its host yeast cell to forge its own centromere and finally revealing how the 2-microm plasmid has survived in budding yeasts over millions of years.

Contextual Explanation Networks
We introduce contextual explanation networks (CENs)—a class of models that learn to predict by generating and leveraging intermediate explanations. CENs are deep networks that generate parameters for context-specific probabilistic graphical models which are further used for prediction and play the role of explanations. Contrary to the existing post-hoc model-explanation tools, CENs learn to pre...
متن کاملSUGI 28: Beyond PROC LIFETEST: Alternative Linear Rank Tests for Comparing Survival Distributions
Those who use SAS Proc Lifetest know that it performs the two best known non-parametric tests to compare survival distributions – the Log Rank Test and the Wilcoxon-Gehan Test. In fact, however, these two tests are actually two members of a large class of linear rank tests. These tests are all equally valid, but will have different power. The specific linear rank test having greatest power wil...
