Identification of a Gene Signature That Predicts Dependence upon YAP/TAZ-TEAD by Kanai, Ryan, Norton, Emily, Stern, Patrick, Hynes, Richard O., Lamar, John M.

“…Importantly, this was not limited to melanoma because this signature was also predictive when tested on a panel of over 1000 cancer cell lines representing numerous distinct cancer types. Our results suggest that YAP/TAZ gene signatures like ours may be effective tools to predict tumor cell dependence upon YAP/TAZ-TEAD, and thus potentially provide a means to identify patients likely to benefit from TEAD inhibitors.…”

A study of atmospheric gradient for the analysis of weather events and prediction of rainfall in the tropical region by Naha Biswas, Anik

“…By virtue of lessening the false alarm with a higher true detection rate, the atmospheric residual has been introduced with the tropospheric gradient in the rainfall forecasting algorithm. Our results are combined to derive a predictive algorithm that aids the forecast of the rain event within a 6-hour window with more than 85% true detection and a satisfactory false alarm rate of 35%. …”
