FlexLMM: a Nextflow linear mixed model framework for GWAS
Saul Pierotti, Tomas Fitzgerald, Ewan Birney
Summary: Linear mixed models are a commonly used statistical approach in genome-wide association studies when population structure is present. However, naive permutations to empiri…
The language of race, ethnicity, and ancestry in human genetic research
Ewan Birney, Michael Inouye, Jennifer Raff +2
The language commonly used in human genetics can inadvertently pose problems for multiple reasons. Terms like "ancestry", "ethnicity", and other ways of grouping people can have co…
A Simple Reduction for Full-Permuted Pattern Matching Problems on Multi-Track Strings
Carl Barton, Ewan Birney, Tomas Fitzgerald
In this paper we study a variant of string pattern matching which deals with tuples of strings known as \textit{multi-track strings}. Multi-track strings are a generalisation of st…
Public archives for biological image data
Jan Ellenberg, Jason R Swedlow, Mary Barlow +4
Public data archives are the backbone of modern biological and biomedical research. While archives for biological molecules and structures are well-established, resources for imagi…
Genomic and phenotypic characterisation of a wild Medaka population: Establishing an isogenic population genetic resource in fish
Mikhail Spivakov, Thomas O. Auer, Ravindra Peravali +10
Background Oryzias latipes (Medaka) has been established as a vertebrate genetic model for over a century, and has recently been rediscovered outside its native Japan. The power of…
Needed for completion of the human genome: hypothesis driven experiments and biologically realistic mathematical models
Roderic Guigo, Ewan Birney, Michael Brent +5
With the sponsorship of ``Fundacio La Caixa'' we met in Barcelona, November 21st and 22nd, to analyze the reasons why, after the completion of the human genome sequence, the identi…
