Pritchard, Stephens, and Donnelly on Population Structure.

In essentially any species, genetic similarity among individuals is structured by the existence of subgroups and geographic isolation. For researchers, understanding this population structure can be of direct interest, a necessary waystation to further analyses, or a confounding nuisance. Regardlessof themotivation,understandingpopulation structure is an essential step for population genetic an...

By chance, Gianluca Pignalberi of FSM and Dave Walden of TUG both approached Frank Mittelbach about interviewing him around the same time.

As of late, very large-scale — hundreds of thousands of document, tens of billions of triples — access to RDF data has become possible thanks to the LOD Laundromat Web Service. ...
