Quantifying sensitivities of ice crystal number and sources of ice crystal number variability in CAM 5.1 using the adjoint of a physically based cirrus formation parameterization

We present the adjoint of a cirrus formation parameterization that computes the sensitivity of ice crystal number concentration to updraft velocity, aerosol, and ice deposition coefficient. The adjoint is driven by simulations from the National Center for ...

Adaptations to Climate-Mediated Selective Pressures in Sheep

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Following domestication, sheep (Ovis aries) have become essential farmed animals across the world through adaptation to a diverse range of environments and varied production systems. Climate-mediated selective pressure has shaped phenotypic variation and h ...

Genome-wide patterns of adaptation to climate-mediated selective pressures in sheep

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Sheep (Ovis aries) have been well adapted to thrive in a diverse range of climates during the domestication and breed development process. These climate-mediated selective pressures have shown to influence phenotypic variation within and among breeds and, ...

Metabolic expressivity of human genetic variants: NMR metabotyping of MEN1 pathogenic mutants

David Lyndon Emsley

Functional consequences of mutations in predisposition genes for familial cancer syndromes remain often elusive, especially when the corresponding gene products play pleiotropic functions and interact with numerous partners. Understanding the consequences ...

GuavaH: a compendium of host genomic data in HIV biology and disease

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha

Background: There is an ever-increasing volume of data on host genes that are modulated during HIV infection, influence disease susceptibility or carry genetic variants that impact HIV infection. We created GuavaH (Genomic Utility for Association and Viral ...

Identification and removal of low-complexity sites in allele-specific analysis of ChIP-seq data

Bart Deplancke, Sebastian Martin Waszak, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Nouria Hernandez, Alisa Yurovsky

Motivation: High-throughput sequencing technologies enable the genome-wide analysis of the impact of genetic variation on molecular phenotypes at unprecedented resolution. However, although powerful, these technologies can also introduce unexpected artifac ...

On Detecting Incomplete Soft or Hard Selective Sweeps Using Haplotype Structure

Anna Ferrer Admetlla

We present a new haplotype-based statistic (nS(L)) for detecting both soft and hard sweeps in population genomic data from a single population. We compare our new method with classic single-population haplotype and site frequency spectrum (SFS)-based metho ...

LILRB2 Interaction with HLA Class I Correlates with Control of HIV-1 Infection

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti

Natural progression of HIV-1 infection depends on genetic variation in the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I locus, and the CD8(+) T cell response is thought to be a primary mechanism of this effect. However, polymorphism within the MHC ...

Exploring Variability in Reflood Simulation Results: an Application of Functional Data Analysis

Andreas Pautz, Damar Canggih Wicaksono, Omar Zerkak

In this paper we followed the functional data analysis (FDA) paradigm to summarize the output of computer code simulating a reflood transient. The paradigm stands on the assumption that the data (code output) is generated by a smooth, albeit complex, proce ...
