Inferring Multidimensional Rates of Aging from Cross-Sectional Data
Emma Pierson, Pang Wei Koh, Tatsunori Hashimoto +4
Modeling how individuals evolve over time is a fundamental problem in the natural and social sciences. However, existing datasets are often cross-sectional with each individual obs…
Reducing pervasive false positive identical-by-descent segments detected by large-scale pedigree analysis
Eric Y. Durand, Nicholas Eriksson, Cory Y. McLean
Analysis of genomic segments shared identical-by-descent (IBD) between individuals is fundamental to many genetic applications, from demographic inference to estimating the heritab…
A genetic variant near olfactory receptor genes influences cilantro preference
Nicholas Eriksson, Shirley Wu, Chuong B. Do +5
The leaves of the Coriandrum sativum plant, known as cilantro or coriander, are widely used in many cuisines around the world. However, far from being a benign culinary herb, cilan…
Genome-wide analysis points to roles for extracellular matrix remodeling, the visual cycle, and neuronal development in myopia
Amy K. Kiefer, Joyce Y. Tung, Chuong B. Do +4
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common eye disorder, resulting primarily from excess elongation of the eye. The etiology of myopia, although known to be complex, is poorly…
Using invariants for phylogenetic tree construction
Nicholas Eriksson
Phylogenetic invariants are certain polynomials in the joint probability distribution of a Markov model on a phylogenetic tree. Such polynomials are of theoretical interest in the…
Viral population estimation using pyrosequencing
Nicholas Eriksson, Lior Pachter, Yumi Mitsuya +6
The diversity of virus populations within single infected hosts presents a major difficulty for the natural immune response as well as for vaccine design and antiviral drug therapy…
