A compartmental Wright-Fisher model that describes the replacement dynamics in Streptococcus pneumoniae populations after the introduction of vaccines. Free parameters in the model are vaccine impact, negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS), and immigration rate.
We have used microarrays to analyze gene expression in Parkinson’s disease (PD). We used four different brain regions, including two that are relatively affected in PD (striatum and cortex) and two that are relatively spared (cerebellum and medulla). We show that while differences between brain regi...
Genome-wide association scan was performed in 1,705 cases of parkinson's genotyped on the Illumina Human 660W SNP array, and 5,175 controls genotyped on the Illumina1.2M-Duo. Analysis was carried out on the overlaps set of SNPs.
