Cartification: Turning Similarities into Itemset Frequencies

Suppose we are given a multi-dimensional dataset. For every point in the dataset, we create a transaction, or cart, in which we store the k-nearest neighbors of that point for one of the given dimensions. This is repeated for every dimension. The resulting collection of carts can then be used to mine frequent itemsets; that is, sets of points, or clusters, that are frequently seen together in o...

Turning manure into gold

At a time of global warming, growing environmental concerns and a political situation that is making many industrialised countries critically review their dependency on Middle Eastern oil, the need to develop alternatives to fossil fuels is becoming increasingly important. And this is not just a recurring demand from environmentalists; most industrialised countries signed the Kyoto Treaty, comm...

Turning Meiosis into Mitosis

Apomixis, or asexual clonal reproduction through seeds, is of immense interest due to its potential application in agriculture. One key element of apomixis is apomeiosis, a deregulation of meiosis that results in a mitotic-like division. We isolated and characterised a novel gene that is directly involved in controlling entry into the second meiotic division. By combining a mutation in this gen...
