Human diseases are caused by alleles that encompass the full range of variant types, from single-nucleotide changes to copy-number variants, and these variations span a broad frequency spectrum, from the very rare to the common. The picture emerging from analysis of whole-genome sequences, the 1000 Genomes Project pilot studies, and targeted genomic sequencing derived from very large sample siz...

The paper describes software architecture for supporting remote memory operations on clusters equipped with high-performance networks such as Myrinet and Giganet/Emulex cLAN. It presents protocols and strategies that bridge the gap between user-level API requirements and low-level networkspecific interfaces such as GM and VIA. In particular, the issues of memory registration, management of netw...

We study how norms can solve distributional conflict inside a clan and the efficient coordination of collective action in a conflict with an external enemy. We characterize a fully non-cooperative equilibrium in a finite game in which a self-enforcing norm coordinates the members on efficient collective action and on a peaceful distribution of the returns of collective action.
