IMIX: A USER-FRIENDLY APPLICATION FOR SOURCE PARTITIONING USING STABLE ISOTOPES

Abstract Background Using isotope mixing models, researchers can estimate the proportionate contributions of the components within a mixture to infer their sources, which is a significant method in fields such as ecology, environmental science, and geography.However, existing isotope mixing model applications suffer from large uncertainties, poor a

Abstract Background Genetic variants within the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster (human Chr11) are important regulators of long-chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis in the liver and consequently have been associated with circulating LC-PUFA levels.More recently, epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, particu
