The PhenX Toolkit: Get the Most From Your Measures
The potential for genome-wide association studies to relate phenotypes to specific genetic variation is greatly increased when data can be combined or compared across multiple studies. To facilitate replication and validation across studies, RTI International (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (Bethesda, Maryland) are collaborating on the c...
متن کاملEvaluating Phenotypic Data Elements for Genetics and Epidemiological Research: Experiences from the eMERGE and PhenX Network Projects
Combining genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data with clinical information from the electronic medical record (EMR) provide unprecedented opportunities to identify genetic variants that influence susceptibility to common, complex diseases. While mining the vastness of EMR greatly expands the potential for conducting GWAS, non-standardized representation and wide variability of clinical dat...
متن کاملSynchMe -- A Toolkit for Multimedia Synchronization Research
SynchME is a toolkit for multimedia synchronization research. The toolkit provides a consistent low-level base that includes media stream support, clocks, and a constraint mechanism. The lowlevel base can then be extended to construct higher-level synchronization abstractions like skew control. Once defined, these abstractions can be re-used, integrated, and modified into a widevariety of synch...
متن کاملA methodology for conducting interdisciplinary social research
The Vienna Circle idea that science is an interdisciplinary enterprise leads to the question of how the knowledge of the natural sciences can be used to further understanding in the social sciences. Analysis of the practice of social research shows there is no easy answer to this question. Ideologies colour the use of exact knowledge in social research methods; even in the natural sciences ideo...
متن کاملStaged Models for Interdisciplinary Research
Modellers of complex biological or social systems are often faced with an invidious choice: to use simple models with few mechanisms that can be fully analysed, or to construct complicated models that include all the features which are thought relevant. The former ensures rigour, the latter relevance. We discuss a method that combines these two approaches, beginning with a complex model and the...
