Expectile Neural Networks for Genetic Data Analysis of Complex Diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The genetic etiologies of common diseases are highly complex and heterogeneous. Classic statistical methods, such as linear regression, have successfully identified numerous genetic variants associated with complex diseases. Nonetheless, for most complex diseases, the identified variants only account for a small proportion of heritability.

Mechanisms For The Environmental Regulation Of Gene Expression: Ecological Aspects Of Animal Development [PDF]
, 2005 The environment can play a significant role in the production of phenotypes. However, the developmental mechanisms by which the environmental agents effect normal development are Just becoming known. At least three paths have been found through which the

Scaling laws in critical random Boolean networks with general in- and out-degree distributions
, 2013 We evaluate analytically and numerically the size of the frozen core and various scaling laws for critical Boolean networks that have a power-law in- and/or out-degree distribution.

Causes that Make a Difference [PDF]
, 2007 Biologists studying complex causal systems typically identify some factors as causes and treat other factors as background conditions. For example, when geneticists explain biological phenomena, they often foreground genes and relegate the cellular ...

GemTools: A fast and efficient approach to estimating genetic ancestry [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 To uncover the genetic basis of complex disease, individuals are often measured at a large number of genetic variants (usually SNPs) across the genome. GemTools provides computationally efficient tools for modeling genetic ancestry based on SNP genotypes.

What contributes to individual differences in brain structure? [PDF]
, 2014 Individual differences in adult human brain structure have been found to reveal a great deal of information about variability in behaviors, cognitive abilities and mental and physical health.

Misspecification in mixed-model based association analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Additive genetic variance in natural populations is commonly estimated using mixed models, in which the covariance of the genetic effects is modeled by a genetic similarity matrix derived from a dense set of markers. An important but usually implicit assumption is that the presence of any non-additive genetic effect only increases the residual variance,

, 2010 Contexto: la esquizofrenia es un síndrome complejo relacionado con genes y factores de riesgo no genéticos. Estudios epidemiológicos reconocidos reportan su presencia en todas las culturas y regiones geográficas. En este sentido, las Hipótesis Etiológicas Unificadas enfrentan simultáneamente el desafío de presentar los datos experimentales y demostrar ...

Logic motif of combinatorial control in transcriptional networks [PDF]
, 2008 Combinatorial control is prevalent in transcriptional regulatory networks. However, whether there are specific logic patterns over- or under-represented in real networks remains uninvestigated.
