Comparative genomics search for losses of long-established genes on the human lineage.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2007 Taking advantage of the complete genome sequences of several mammals, we developed a novel method to detect losses of well-established genes in the human genome through syntenic mapping of gene structures between the human, mouse, and dog genomes. Unlike

Redistribution spurs growth by using a portfolio effect on human capital [PDF]
, 2012 We demonstrate by mathematical analysis and systematic computer simulations that redistribution can lead to sustainable growth in a society. The human capital dynamics of each agent is described by a stochastic multiplicative process which, in the long ...
