Grapevine scion gene expression is driven by rootstock and environment interaction
Background Grafting is a horticultural practice used widely across woody perennial crop species to fuse together the root and shoot system of two distinct genotypes, the rootstock and the scion, combining beneficial traits from both.

Random regression models for detection of gene by environment interaction
Two random regression models, where the effect of a putative QTL was regressed on an environmental gradient, are described. The first model estimates the correlation between intercept and slope of the random regression, while the other model restricts ...

Robustness of meta-analyses in finding gene × environment interactions. [PDF]
Meta-analyses that synthesize statistical evidence across studies have become important analytical tools for genetic studies. Inspired by the success of genome-wide association studies of the genetic main effect, researchers are searching for gene ...

Provenance for Interactive Visualizations [PDF]
We highlight the connections between data provenance and interactive visualizations. To do so, we first incrementally add interactions to a visualization and show how these interactions are readily expressible in terms of provenance. We then describe how an interactive visualization system that natively supports provenance can be easily extended with ...

Epigenetic metaphors: an interdisciplinary translation of encoding and decoding
Looking at the new and often disputed science of epigenetics, we examined the challenges faced by scientists when they communicate scientific research to the public. We focused on the use of metaphors to illustrate notions of epigenetics and genetics. We

A platform for the remote conduct of gene-environment interaction studies. [PDF]
BackgroundGene-environment interaction studies offer the prospect of robust causal inference through both gene identification and instrumental variable approaches. As such they are a major and much needed development.

Possible Development of the Newton Gravitational Theory of Interactions. An Alternative Approach to the Gravitational Theory [PDF]
This work is devoted to the discussion of an idea that gravitational interactions might be residual interactions of strong and electromagnetic interactions. Then, absence of the carriers of the gravitational interactions finds a natural explanation in the framework this idea.

Designing Interactions with Furniture: Towards Multi-Sensorial Interaction Design Processes for Interactive Furniture [PDF]
In this paper, we argue for novel user experience design methods, in the context of reimagining ergonomics of interactive furniture.

Loop interactions and their representations in Fock space [PDF]
Given a weighted graph, we show how to define two types of natural interactions which correspond to local interactions between two Fock spaces. The first type of interaction involves loop ensembles and spanning trees. The second type of interaction involves loop holonomies and random connections.

The lipoprotein lipase S447X polymorphism and plasma lipids
We studied 4,058 subjects from a representative sample of the Singapore population 1) to determine the association between the S447X polymorphism at the LPL locus and serum lipid concentration in Chinese, Malays, and Asian Indians living in Singapore and
