Measuring genome conservation across taxa: divided strains and united kingdoms

Species evolutionary relationships have traditionally been defined by sequence similarities of phylogenetic marker molecules, recently followed by whole-genome phylogenies based on gene order, average ortholog similarity or gene content. Here, we introduce genome conservation--a novel metric of evolutionary distances between species that simultaneously takes into account, both gene content and ...

Brexit and Translational Research

In a historic referendum on June 23, 2016, the UK voted to leave the European Union (EU) after more than four decades of membership. For the time being, the UK is still a member of the EU until the UK government triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty–which probably won't happen before the end of 2016. A minimum of 2 years of negotiations will follow before theUK ceases to be an EUmember. This...

The Topological "Shape" of Brexit

Persistent homology is a method from computational algebraic topology that can be used to study the “shape” of data. We illustrate two filtrations — the weight rank clique filtration and the Vietoris–Rips (VR) filtration — that are commonly used in persistent homology, and we apply these filtrations to a pair of data sets that are both related to the 2016 European Union “Brexit” referendum in t...
