Kernel Density Estimation by Genetic Algorithm [PDF]
This study proposes a data condensation method for multivariate kernel density estimation by genetic algorithm. First, our proposed algorithm generates multiple subsamples of a given size with replacement from the original sample. The subsamples and their constituting data points are regarded as $\it{chromosome}$ and $\it{gene}$, respectively, in the ...

Evolutionary L∞ identification and model reduction for robust control [PDF]
An evolutionary approach for modern robust control oriented system identification and model reduction in the frequency domain is proposed. The technique provides both an optimized nominal model and a 'worst-case' additive or multiplicative uncertainty ...

Joint QTL linkage mapping for multiple-cross mating design sharing one common parent. [PDF]
BackgroundNested association mapping (NAM) is a novel genetic mating design that combines the advantages of linkage analysis and association mapping. This design provides opportunities to study the inheritance of complex traits, but also requires more ...

Evolving dynamic multiple-objective optimization problems with objective replacement [PDF]
This paper studies the strategies for multi-objective optimization in a dynamic environment. In particular, we focus on problems with objective replacement, where some objectives may be replaced with new objectives during evolution.

Human gene copy number spectra analysis in congenital heart malformations [PDF]
The clinical significance of copy number variants (CNVs) in congenital heart disease (CHD) continues to be a challenge. Although CNVs including genes can confer disease risk, relationships between gene dosage and phenotype are still being defined.

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Abstract Background Treatment options for Chinese patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous‐cell non‐small‐cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC) after failure of first‐line chemotherapy are limited. This study (ORIENT‐3) aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab versus docetaxel as second‐line treatment in patients with locally advanced ...

Statistical Methods For Detecting Genetic Risk Factors of a Disease with Applications to Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]
This thesis aims to develop various statistical methods for analysing the data derived from genome wide association studies (GWAS). The GWAS often involves genotyping individual human genetic variation, using high-throughput genome-wide single ...

Linkage to chromosome 11p12 in two Maltese families with a highly penetrant form of osteoporosis [PDF]
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease with a strong genetic component. Family-based linkage studies were performed by a number of investigators to try to identify loci that might contain genes responsible for an increased susceptibility to ...

Germline variants in CDKN2A wild‐type melanoma prone families
Among melanoma‐prone families, wild‐type for CDKN2A and CDK4, some have pathogenic variants in genes not usually linked to melanoma. Furthermore, rare XP‐related variants and variants in MC1R are enriched in such families. Germline pathogenic variants in CDKN2A are well established as an underlying cause of familial malignant melanoma. While pathogenic
