Testing for associations between loci and environmental gradients using latent factor mixed models

…, SD Schoville, G Bouchard, O François - Molecular biology and …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Adaptation to local environments often occurs through natural selection acting on a large
number of loci, each having a weak phenotypic effect. One way to detect these loci is to identify …

Virgo: a laser interferometer to detect gravitational waves

…, L Fournier, J Franc, O Francois… - Journal of …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Gravitational waves (GW) were predicted by Einstein [1] as a consequence of the theory of
General Relativity; its geometrical interpretation states that gravitation is the result of the …

Neutrophil extracellular traps in ischemic stroke thrombi

…, F Denorme, L Desender, O Francois… - Annals of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
