Empirical comparison of G matrix test statistics: finding biologically relevant change.
A central assumption of quantitative genetic theory is that the breeder's equation (R=GP(-1)S) accurately predicts the evolutionary response to selection. Recent studies highlight the fact that the additive genetic variance-covariance matrix (G) may change over time, rendering the breeder's equation incapable of predicting evolutionary change over more than a few generations. Although some cons...
متن کاملMaking statistics biologically relevant in fragmented landscapes.
The biological impacts of habitat fragmentation are routinely assessed using standard statistical modelling techniques that are used across many ecological disciplines. However, to assess the biological relevance of fragmentation impacts, we must consider an extra, spatial dimension to the standard statistical model: the biological importance of a significant and well supported model with large...
متن کاملIdentifying biologically relevant putative mechanisms in a given phenotype comparison
A major challenge in life science research is understanding the mechanism involved in a given phenotype. The ability to identify the correct mechanisms is needed in order to understand fundamental and very important phenomena such as mechanisms of disease, immune systems responses to various challenges, and mechanisms of drug action. The current data analysis methods focus on the identification...
متن کاملBiologically Relevant Multiple Sequence
BIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT Hyrum D. Carroll Department of Computer Science Doctor of Philosophy Researchers use multiple sequence alignment algorithms to detect conserved regions in genetic sequences and to identify drug docking sites for drug development. In this dissertation, a novel algorithm is presented for using physicochemical properties to increase the accuracy of...
متن کاملBioMe: biologically relevant metals
In this article, we introduce BioMe (biologically relevant metals), a web-based platform for calculation of various statistical properties of metal-binding sites. Users can obtain the following statistical properties: presence of selected ligands in metal coordination sphere, distribution of coordination numbers, percentage of metal ions coordinated by the combination of selected ligands, distr...
