Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Association Studies: A Few Critical Points

Uncovering DNA sequence variations that correlate with phenotypic changes, e.g., diseases, is the aim of sequence variation studies. Common types sequence variations are Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip).SNPs are the third-generation molecular marker. SNP represents a DNA sequence variant of a single base pair with the minor allele occurring in more than 1% of a given popula...

A Few Points on Directed Algebraic Topology

Directed Algebraic Topology is a recent field, deeply linked with Category Theory. A 'directed space' has directed homotopies (generally non reversible), directed homology groups (enriched with a preorder) and fundamental n-categories (replacing the fundamental n-groupoids of the classical case). Applications have been mostly developed in the theory of concurrency. Unexpected links with noncomm...

Few Points to Generate a Random Polytope

A random polytope, Kn, is the convex hull of n points chosen randomly, independently, and uniformly from a convex body K^R. It is shown here that, with high probability, Kn can be obtained by taking the convex hull of m = o(n) points chosen independently and uniformly from a small neighbourhood of the boundary of K. §

On small line sets with few odd-points

In this paper, we study small sets of lines in PG(n, q) and AG(n, q), q odd, that have a small number of odd-points. We fix a small glitch in the proof of an earlier bound in the affine case, we extend the theorem to the projective case, and we attempt to classify all the sets where equality is reached. For the projective case, we obtain a full classification. For the affine case, we obtain a f...
