Dissecting genetic effects with imprinting
Models of genetic effects are mathematical representations of a genotype-to-phenotype (GP) map that, rather than accounting for a raw map assigning phenotypes to genotypes, rely on parameters with deliberate evolutionary meaning—additive and interaction ...

Disentangling the effects of geographic and ecological isolation on genetic differentiation [PDF]
Populations can be genetically isolated both by geographic distance and by differences in their ecology or environment that decrease the rate of successful migration.

Adjustment of model parameters to estimate distribution transformers remaining lifespan [PDF]
Currently, the electrical system in Argentina is working at its maximum capacity, decreasing the margin between the installed power and demanded consumption, and drastically reducing the service life of transformer substations due to overload (since the ...

Epigenetic Biomarkers for Environmental Exposures and Personalized Breast Cancer Prevention. [PDF]
Environmental and lifestyle factors are believed to account for >80% of breast cancers; however, it is not well understood how and when these factors affect risk and which exposed individuals will actually develop the disease.

Cellular Classes in the Human Brain Revealed In Vivo by Heartbeat-Related Modulation of the Extracellular Action Potential Waveform [PDF]
Determining cell types is critical for understanding neural circuits but remains elusive in the living human brain. Current approaches discriminate units into putative cell classes using features of the extracellular action potential (EAP); in absence of

Effects of habitat and land use on breeding season density of male Asian Houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii [PDF]
Landscape-scale habitat and land-use influences on Asian Houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii (IUCN Vulnerable) remain unstudied, while estimating numbers of this cryptic, low-density, over-hunted species is challenging.

Genetic association analyses often involve data from multiple potentially-heterogeneous subgroups. The expected amount of heterogeneity can vary from modest (e.g., a typical meta-analysis) to large (e.g., a strong gene--environment interaction). However,

Different genes interact with particulate matter and tobacco smoke exposure in affecting lung function decline in the general population [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress related genes modify the effects of ambient air pollution or tobacco smoking on lung function decline. The impact of interactions might be substantial, but previous studies mostly focused on main effects of single genes ...
