A convergent method for linear half-space kinetic equations
(2017-04-23)We give a unified proof for the well-posedness of a class of linear half-space equations with general incoming data and construct a Galerkin method to numerically resolve this type of equations in a systematic way. Our main ... -
A Functionally Conserved Gene Regulatory Network Module Governing Olfactory Neuron Diversity.
(PLoS Genet, 2016-01)Sensory neuron diversity is required for organisms to decipher complex environmental cues. In Drosophila, the olfactory environment is detected by 50 different olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) classes that are clustered in ... -
An asymptotic preserving method for transport equations with oscillatory scattering coefficients
(2017-04-26)We design a numerical scheme for transport equations with oscillatory periodic scattering coefficients. The scheme is asymptotic preserving in the diffusion limit as Knudsen number goes to zero. It also captures ... -
Chromatin Modulatory Proteins and Olfactory Receptor Signaling in the Refinement and Maintenance of Fruitless Expression in Olfactory Receptor Neurons.
(PLoS Biol, 2016-04)During development, sensory neurons must choose identities that allow them to detect specific signals and connect with appropriate target neurons. Ultimately, these sensory neurons will successfully integrate into appropriate ... -

Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation.
(Science, 2014-12-12)Birds are the most species-rich class of tetrapod vertebrates and have wide relevance across many research fields. We explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 avian species representing all major extant clades. ... -
Diffusion approximations and domain decomposition method of linear transport equations: Asymptotics and numerics
(Journal of Computational Physics, 2015-07-01)© 2015 Elsevier Inc.In this paper we construct numerical schemes to approximate linear transport equations with slab geometry by diffusion equations. We treat both the case of pure diffusive scaling and the case where kinetic ... -
Examination of Endogenous Rotund Expression and Function in Developing Drosophila Olfactory System Using CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Protein Tagging.
(G3 (Bethesda), 2015-10-23)The zinc-finger protein Rotund (Rn) plays a critical role in controlling the development of the fly olfactory system. However, little is known about its molecular function in vivo. Here, we added protein tags to the rn locus ... -
Genetic variants in the TEP1 gene are associated with prostate cancer risk and recurrence.
(Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis, 2015-12)BACKGROUND: Telomere-related genes play an important role in carcinogenesis and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). It is not fully understood whether genetic variations in telomere-related genes are associated with development ... -
Half-space kinetic equations with general boundary conditions
(Mathematics of Computation, 2017-01-01)© 2016 American Mathematical Society.We study half-space linear kinetic equations with general boundary conditions that consist of both given incoming data and various types of reflections, extending our previous work on ... -
Plant species' origin predicts dominance and response to nutrient enrichment and herbivores in global grasslands.
(Nat Commun, 2015-07-15)Exotic species dominate many communities; however the functional significance of species' biogeographic origin remains highly contentious. This debate is fuelled in part by the lack of globally replicated, systematic data ... -
Randomized sampling for basis functions construction in generalized finite element methods
(2018-02-14)In the context of generalized finite element methods for elliptic equations with rough coefficients $a(x)$, efficiency and accuracy of the numerical method depend critically on the use of appropriate basis functions. This ... -
The effect of NCMS on catastrophic health expenditure and impoverishment from tuberculosis care in China.
(Int J Equity Health, 2016-10-18)BACKGROUND: Health expenditure for tuberculosis (TB) care often pushes households into catastrophe and poverty. New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS) aims to protect households from catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) ... -
The NKI-Rockland Sample: A Model for Accelerating the Pace of Discovery Science in Psychiatry.
(Front Neurosci, 2012)The National Institute of Mental Health strategic plan for advancing psychiatric neuroscience calls for an acceleration of discovery and the delineation of developmental trajectories for risk and resilience across the lifespan. ... -
Two Antarctic penguin genomes reveal insights into their evolutionary history and molecular changes related to the Antarctic environment.
(Gigascience, 2014)BACKGROUND: Penguins are flightless aquatic birds widely distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The distinctive morphological and physiological features of penguins allow them to live an aquatic life, and some of them have ... -
Validity and Regularization of Classical Half-Space Equations
(Journal of Statistical Physics, 2017-01-01)© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.Recent result (Wu and Guo in Commun Math Phys 336(3):1473–1553, 2015) has shown that over the 2D unit disk, the classical half-space equation (CHS) for the neutron transport ...
