Age-Associated Disorders As A Proxy Measure Of Biological Age: Findings From the NLTCS Data
(2017-06-07)Background: The relative contribution of different aging-associated processes to the age phenotype may differ among individuals, creating variability in aging manifestations among age-peers. Capturing this variability can ... -
Bayesian co-estimation of selfing rate and locus-specific mutation rates for a partially selfing population
(2017-07-02)We present a Bayesian method for characterizing the mating system of populations reproducing through a mixture of self-fertilization and random outcrossing. Our method uses patterns of genetic variation across the genome ... -
Frailty Index as a Major Indicator of Aging Processes and Mortality in Elderly: Results From Analyses of the National Long Term Care Survey Data
(2017-06-07)To better understand mortality change with age capturing the variability in individuals' rates of aging, we performed comprehensive analysis of statistical properties of a cumulative index of age-associated disorders (deficits), ... -
Scaling limits of a model for selection at two scales
The dynamics of a population undergoing selection is a central topic in evolutionary biology. This question is particularly intriguing in the case where selective forces act in opposing directions at two population scales. ... -
Scaling limits of a model for selection at two scales
(2015)The dynamics of a population undergoing selection is a central topic in evolutionary biology. This question is particularly intriguing in the case where selective forces act in opposing directions at two population scales. ...
