Amplitude-modulated, Cosine PE and WP Pulses: Theory and Applicability [PDF]
Radioengineering, 2021 The amplitude-modulated, cosine power-exponential (PE) and windowed-power (WP) pulses are discussed, by insisting on their time-domain normalization. Illustrative examples of signatures and their correspondent frequency-domain behavior are given.

Re-ranking sequencing variants in the post-GWAS era for accurate causal variant identification.
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Next generation sequencing has dramatically increased our ability to localize disease-causing variants by providing base-pair level information at costs increasingly feasible for the large sample sizes required to detect complex-trait associations.

TATES: efficient multivariate genotype-phenotype analysis for genome-wide association studies. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 To date, the genome-wide association study (GWAS) is the primary tool to identify genetic variants that cause phenotypic variation. As GWAS analyses are generally univariate in nature, multivariate phenotypic information is usually reduced to a single ...
