A hybrid Lagrangean heuristic with GRASP and path-relinking for set k-covering

TL;DR: A GRASP with path-relinking heuristic for the set k-covering problem, as well as the template of a family of Lagrangean heuristics, which makes better use of the dual information provided by subgradient optimization and is able to discover better solutions.

Genetic analysis of the clusterin gene in pseudoexfoliation syndrome

TL;DR: Clusterin is present in ocular anterior segment tissues involved in pseudoexfoliation syndrome and common variation in this gene is not a major contributor to the risk of pseudoex foliation syndrome.

Trans-Ancestral Studies Fine Map the SLE-Susceptibility Locus TNFSF4

TL;DR: A global signal at TNFSF4 and a role for the expressed product at multiple stages of lymphocyte dysregulation during SLE pathogenesis is confirmed and the validity of trans-ancestral mapping in a complex trait is confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Power tools for human genetics.

TL;DR: Assessments of the HapMap resource suggest that the tools to carry out genome-wide association studies are now in hand, but care is required in their use for study design, analysis and interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of a 7-Gene Genetic Profile for Athletic Endurance Phenotype in Ironman Championship Triathletes

TL;DR: The results suggest that more sophisticated genetic models may be necessary to accurately predict athlete finishing time in endurance events; that non-genetic factors such as training are hugely influential and should be included in genetic analyses to prevent confounding; and that large collaborations may be needed to obtain sufficient sample sizes for powerful and complex analyses of endurance performance.

A haplotype map of the human genome

John W. Belmont, +232 more
TL;DR: A public database of common variation in the human genome: more than one million single nucleotide polymorphisms for which accurate and complete genotypes have been obtained in 269 DNA samples from four populations, including ten 500-kilobase regions in which essentially all information about common DNA variation has been extracted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A second generation human haplotype map of over 3.1 million SNPs

Kelly A. Frazer, +237 more
- 18 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: The Phase II HapMap is described, which characterizes over 3.1 million human single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyped in 270 individuals from four geographically diverse populations and includes 25–35% of common SNP variation in the populations surveyed, and increased differentiation at non-synonymous, compared to synonymous, SNPs is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate whole human genome sequencing using reversible terminator chemistry

David R. Bentley, +201 more
- 06 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: An approach that generates several billion bases of accurate nucleotide sequence per experiment at low cost is reported, effective for accurate, rapid and economical whole-genome re-sequencing and many other biomedical applications.

ABySS: A parallel assembler for short read sequence data

TL;DR: ABySS (Assembly By Short Sequences), a parallelized sequence assembler, was developed and assembled 3.5 billion paired-end reads from the genome of an African male publicly released by Illumina, Inc, representing 68% of the reference human genome.

Genome sequence, comparative analysis and haplotype structure of the domestic dog

Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, +241 more
- 08 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: A high-quality draft genome sequence of the domestic dog is reported, together with a dense map of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across breeds, to shed light on the structure and evolution of genomes and genes.
