Summary
This article corrects a citation error in its previous publication. The frequentist approach for detecting subclonal selection from bulk sequencing data was updated with the correct reference.
Area of Science:
- Genetics and Bioinformatics
- Cancer Research
Background:
- Accurate citation is crucial for scientific integrity and reproducibility.
- Subclonal selection in cancer is a key area of research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct a citation error in a previously published article.
- To ensure accurate referencing for the frequentist approach to subclonal selection detection.
Main Methods:
- Review of the original publication's text.
- Identification and correction of an incorrect citation (ref. 11 vs. ref. 19).
Main Results:
- The citation error in the
- Theoretical framework of subclonal selection
- section has been rectified.
- The corrected citation now accurately reflects the source for the R2 test statistic in subclonal selection analysis.
Conclusions:
- The correction ensures the scientific record is accurate.

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

01:25Selected Data About Geographic Locations
278
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...

01:15Distance Corrections
297
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

The bulk modulus is a scientific term used to describe a material's resistance to uniform compression. It is the proportionality constant that links a change in pressure to the resulting relative volume change.

01:22Bulk Density of Aggregate
1.2K
Bulk density refers to the mass of aggregate particles that would fill a unit volume. The concept of bulk density originates from the inability to pack aggregate particles in a manner that completely eliminates void spaces. Hence, the term bulk refers to the volume that encompasses both the aggregates and the voids. This measurement is crucial when aggregates are batched by volume and is used to convert quantities by mass to volume.
