Influenza Evolution and H3N2 Vaccine Effectiveness, with Application to the 2014/2015 Season [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Influenza A is a serious disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality, and vaccines against the seasonal influenza disease are of variable effectiveness. In this paper, we discuss use of the $p_{\rm epitope}$ method to predict the dominant influenza strain and the expected vaccine effectiveness in the coming flu season. We illustrate how the

A Review of the Fossil Record of Turtles of the Clade Baenidae
, 2015 The fossil record of the turtle clade Baenidae ranges from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian—Albian) to the Eocene. The group is present throughout North America during the Early Cretaceous, but is restricted to the western portions of the continents in the ...

Random Fragments Classification of Microbial Marker Clades with Multi-class SVM and N-Best Algorithm [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Microbial clades modeling is a challenging problem in biology based on microarray genome sequences, especially in new species gene isolates discovery and category. Marker family genome sequences play important roles in describing specific microbial clades within species, a framework of support vector machine (SVM) based microbial species classification

Neotropical IchthyologyThe genus Markiana was until recently recognized as incertae sedis in the family Characidae, even though alternative placements for this genus have been advanced since its original description. More recently, it was hypothesized that Markiana nigripinnis

Ultrametrizable spaces are homeomorphic to clade spaces of pruned trees [PDF]
arXivThis paper demonstrates that every ultrametric space is homeomorphic to a clade space of a pruned tree, i.e., a subspace of a tree's canopy. Furthermore, it characterizes several topological properties of ultrametrizable spaces through the features of their representing trees. This approach suggests that topological properties of ultrametrizable spaces

Minimal clade size in the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 This article shows the asymptotics of distribution and moments of the size $X_n$ of the minimal clade of a randomly chosen individual in a Bolthausen-Sznitman $n$-coalescent for $n\to\infty$. The Bolthausen-Sznitman $n$-coalescent is a Markov process taking states in the set of partitions of $\left\{1,\ldots,n\right\}$, where $1,\ldots,n$ are referred ...

Osteology of a Near-Complete Skeleton of Tenontosaurus tilletti (Dinosauria: Ornithopoda) from the Cloverly Formation, Montana, USA [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The character diagnosis of Tenontosaurus tilletti has been revised and redefined into a more robust and quantifiable state. Significant emphasis is placed on constructing phylogenetic definition in such a method, as it prevents occlusion of true character states by alleviating potential individual interpretational bias.
