Book Description
Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life. He was wrong. Now he’s trapped in a school that’s surrounded by a razor-wire fence. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive. Where breaking the rules equals death. But when Benson stumbles upon the school’s real secret, he realizes that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death, and that escape—his only real hope for survival—may be impossible.

Book Description
This volume provides practical guidance on a variety of techniques and steps to ensure successful variant calling. Chapters detail methods for variant calling from single-nucleotide variants to structural variants, variant calling in specialized data types such as RNA-seq and UMI-tagged sequencing, alignment-free genotyping and SNP calling, variant detection in single-cell DNA sequencing data, variant annotation, and preanalytical quality control to ensure successful variant calling. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists step-by-step protocol to execute the algorithms, describes the input and output data, and includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Variant Calling: Methods and Protocols aims to be a foundation for future studies and to be a source of inspiration for new investigations in the field.

Book Description
SysML does not provide explicit built-in language constructs to model variants. Nevertheless SysML is useful to create a model for variants. The VAMOS method presented in the book Variant Modeling with SysML is one option how to model variants with SysML. It uses the profile mechanism of SysML to extend the language with a concept for variant modeling. The concepts are core, variation point, variation, variant, variant constraint, and variant configuration. The book shows how to apply the concepts with standard SysML modeling tool. The book covers * Variant Modeling Concepts * Method for Variant Modeling with SysML (VAMOS) * Variant Stereotypes for SysML * Example: Forest Fire Detection System * Example: Virtual Museum Tour

Book Description
Tessa is a Variant, able to absorb the DNA of anyone she touches and mimic their appearance. Shunned by her family, she's spent the last two years training with the Forces with Extraordinary Abilities, a secret branch of the FBI. When a serial killer rocks a small town in Oregon, Tessa is given a mission: she must impersonate Madison, a local teen, to find the killer before he strikes again. Tessa hates everything about being an impostor—he stress, the danger, the deceit—but loves playing the role of a normal girl. Disguised as Madison, she finds friends, romance, and the kind of loving family she'd do anything to keep. Amid action, suspense, and a ticking clock, this superhuman arrives at a very human conclusion: even a girl who can look like anyone struggles the most with being herself.

Book Description
Kindler Syndrome (KS) is one of the rarest subtypes of epidermolysis bullosa (EB). It is characterised by congenital blistering, skin fragility, photosensitivity, and poikilodermatous skin changes. It is an autosomal recessive condition with an established disease-causing mechanism of having biallelic pathogenic variants in the FERMT1 gene. Multiple variants have been reported worldwide since the discovery in 1954. This case report describes two patients of Chinese descent with molecularly confirmed KS, one diagnosed in infancy while the other in mid-adulthood. It highlights the importance and clinical utility of diagnosing KS in children versus adults. The identification of recurrent c.811C>T variant in both patients also expedited the review of local databases and the existing mutation spectrum KS in East Asians.
