Enhancing inference of differential gene expression in metatranscriptomes from human microbial communities
Abstract Metatranscriptomic (MTX) sequencing quantifies gene expression from the collective genomes of microbial communities (microbiomes), enabling assessment of functional activity rather than functional potential. While differential expression testing is essential for RNA-sequencing analysis, current metatranscriptomic approaches have only been benchmarked on simulated data, resulting in a lack of standard practices for analysis of real datasets.
Court rules criminal defendants may be prohibited from discussing ongoing testimony with counsel during an overnight recess Original

In a surprisingly sweeping opinion issued Wednesday, a five-justice majority in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Electionsheld that a federal congressional candidate had a legal right to sue, known as standing, in federal court to challenge an Illinois law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted as many as 14 days later.

Justices seem willing to allow candidate to challenge elections law on mail-in ballots
At Wednesday’s argument in Bost v. Illinois Board of Elections, not many of the justices worked hard to hide their cards. It appears there is a substantial majority, perhaps as many as seven justices, leaning toward reversing the lower federal courts’ holding that Rep.
Court leans toward allowing trial judges to limit attorney-client discussions during overnight recesses
At least some of the justices at Monday morning’s oral argument in Villarreal v. Texas appear to be willing to permit trial courts to limit what defense lawyers may discuss with their clients overnight when the client is still on the stand. Specifically, several justices seem to think the court may prohibit lawyer and client from direct discussions of the client’s testimony, but not collateral matters of trial strategy and management that relate to the testimony.
When may a candidate challenge election rules in federal court?
In federal elections in Illinois, votes by mail are counted until 14 days after the polls close, so long as they are postmarked by election day. Democrats generally favor the rule because they believe that the majority of votes received after election day are for Democrats. Republicans generally oppose the rule for the same reason. In the case of Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, to be argued on Oct.

The Life of an All-Consumed Entrepreneur
I jolt awake. The dim lights of neighbor buildings are soon outshined by my blue home screen.

I start typing away in a Notion doc to get some inkling of an idea out.
Tracking Horticulture Priorities on the Eve of Budget Deadline
As we enter a period of divided government with slim majorities in Congress, legislative gridlock will become the rule over the next two years leading up to the 2024 presidential election. A couple exceptions to the rule, however, probably include bills important to growers, including the 2023 Farm Bill re-write and a new Water Resources Development Act.

Case preview By Evan Lee on Apr 19, 2021 at 11:46 am On June 21, 2019, the Supreme Court handed down its opinion in Rehaif v.

During Tuesday’s telephonic oral argument in United States v. Briggs, counsel for both sides urged the justices to avoid deciding whether the Eighth Amendment ruling in Coker v.

Injustice, protest, conversation, and change
I believe the greatest changes to come out of times of protest are those found within the conversations we hold in their wake. Conversations about what is wrong in society and what we can do to end injustices faced today so that future generations will never have to endure them. In light of George Floyd’s tragic death, and the protests held in response for him and countless others, today’s conversation is about racism and police brutality faced by Black members of our communities.
Making peace with the pandemic
Reporting on the worst public health disaster in modern history was not what I had in mind when I applied to intern for The MetroWest Daily News. Like most Americans around the start of the new year, when I began my first day, COVID-19 was still just a story to me. A terrible story, of course, but one that seemed so far away. None of us expected to become part of its main characters just a few months later. Life simply went on as it always did.
