The genetic structure of the indigenous hunter-gatherer peoples of southern Africa, the oldest
known lineage of modern human, is important for understanding human diversity. Studies …

The parameters by which alignments are scored can strongly affect sensitivity and specificity
of alignment procedures. While appropriate parameter choices are well understood for …

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. Does this
translate into increased economic damages? To date, empirical assessments of damage trends …

… in a typical location regression of the form Y = f (X) + ε with X and ε independent and both
normally distributed, this assumption is not met unless f(·) is linear. Because of its generality, …

Background Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolites can regulate gene expression in
Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we use multinetwork analysis of microarray data to identify molecular …

Mutation rates of microsatellites vary greatly among loci. The causes of this heterogeneity
remain largely enigmatic yet are crucial for understanding numerous human neurological …

Six measures of evolutionary change in the human genome were studied, three derived
from the aligned human and mouse genomes in conjunction with the Mouse Genome …

The transcription factor GATA1 regulates an extensive program of gene activation and
repression during erythroid development. However, the associated mechanisms, including the …

The manifestation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases depends on the frequency of
heteroplasmy (the presence of several alleles in an individual), yet its transmission across …

… A basis matrix f subspace S is any matrix whose columns form a basis for S. A semi-ortho …
The particular method proposed by Cook, Li and Chiaromonte (2007) is a first step along these …
