TASSEL: software for association mapping of complex traits in diverse samples
Abstract Summary: Association analyses that exploit the natural diversity of a genome to map at very high resolutions are becoming increasingly important. In most studies, howev...
Surface energy and the contact of elastic solids
This paper discusses the influence of surface energy on the contact between elastic solids. Equations are derived for its effect upon the contact size and the force of adhesion ...

A Garbage Can Model of Organizational Choice
Organized anarchies are organizations characterized by problematic preferences, unclear technology, and fluid participation. Recent studies of universities, a familiar form of o...
EFFECTS OF BIODIVERSITY ON ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: A CONSENSUS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE
Humans are altering the composition of biological communities through a variety of activities that increase rates of species invasions and species extinctions, at all scales, fr...

The MR-Base platform supports systematic causal inference across the human phenome
Results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can be used to infer causal relationships between phenotypes, using a strategy known as 2-sample Mendelian randomization (2SM...
MCScanX: a toolkit for detection and evolutionary analysis of gene synteny and collinearity
MCScan is an algorithm able to scan multiple genomes or subgenomes in order to identify putative homologous chromosomal regions, and align these regions using genes as anchors. ...
Diversity of the Human Intestinal Microbial Flora
The human endogenous intestinal microflora is an essential “organ” in providing nourishment, regulating epithelial development, and instructing innate immunity; yet, surprisingl...
Soil Carbon Sequestration Impacts on Global Climate Change and Food Security
The carbon sink capacity of the world's agricultural and degraded soils is 50 to 66% of the historic carbon loss of 42 to 78 gigatons of carbon. The rate of soil organic carbon ...
The spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian paradigm: a critique of the adaptationist programme
An adaptationist programme has dominated evolutionary thought in England and the United States during the past 40 years. It is based on faith in the power of natural selection a...
