Social networks and geography: a review of the literature and its implications [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The spatial metaphor of the network along with its accompanying abstractions, such as flow, movement, and connectivity, have been central themes throughout the relational turn in human geography. However, to date networks in geography have been primarily explored either through actor-network theory or assemblage thinking, both of which embrace the ...

Geography, Ethnicity or Subsistence-Specific Variations in Human Microbiome Composition and Diversity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
One of the fundamental issues in the microbiome research is characterization of the healthy human microbiota. Recent studies have elucidated substantial divergences in the microbiome structure between healthy individuals from different race and ethnicity.

Leveraging Automated Machine Learning for Environmental Data‐Driven Genetic Analysis and Genomic Prediction in Maize Hybrids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An automated machine learning framework integrating environmental and genomic data enhances genetic analysis and genomic prediction in maize. By leveraging dimension‐reduced environmental parameters, it reveals trait‐environment relationships and identifies genetic markers that govern phenotypic plasticity and genotype‐by‐environment interactions.

Are the Poor Digitally Left Behind? Indications of Urban Divides Based on Remote Sensing and Twitter Data

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018
Every city is—quoting Plato—divided into two, one city of the poor, the other of the rich. In this study we test whether the economic urban divide is reflected in the digital sphere of cities. Because, especially in dynamically growing cities,

Genomic Insights into Post‐Domestication Expansion and Selection of Body Size in Ponies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The authors’ research delves into the history of ponies by assembling a pony genome and integrating horse genomes. This unveils genetic connections between Asian and European pony breeds. Cis‐regulatory elements of key genes impacting body size are also identified.

Origins, Dispersal, and Impact: Bidirectional Introgression Between Chinese and European Pig Populations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates bidirectional introgression between Chinese and European pig populations, revealing 3558 introgressed genomic segments and 30 structural variations. Analysis of the BMP2 region suggests its role in body size enhancement. By integrating ancient and modern genomes, the study highlights the impact of introgression on genetic ...
