    • Economic Games on the Internet: The Effect of $1 Stakes 

      Amir, Ofra; Rand, David Gertler; Gal, Ya'akov (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Online labor markets such as Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) offer an unprecedented opportunity to run economic game experiments quickly and inexpensively. Using Mturk, we recruited 756 subjects and examined their behavior ...

    • The Evolution of Homophily 

      Fu, Feng; Nowak, Martin A.; Christakis, Nicholas Alexander; Fowler, James H. (Nature Publishing Group, 2012)
      Biologists have devoted much attention to assortative mating or homogamy, the tendency for sexual species to mate with similar others. In contrast, there has been little theoretical work on the broader phenomenon of ...

    • Sequencing by Hybridization of Long Targets 

      Qin, Yu; Schneider, Tobias M; Brenner, Michael P. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Sequencing by Hybridization (SBH) reconstructs an n-long target DNA sequence from its biochemically determined \(l\)-long subsequences. In the standard approach, the length of a uniformly random sequence that can be ...

    • Using Whole-Genome Sequence Data to Predict Quantitative Trait Phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster 

      Ober, Ulrike; Stone, Eric A.; Richards, Stephen; Zhu, Dianhui; Gibbs, Richard A.; Stricker, Christian; Gianola, Daniel; Schlather, Martin; Mackay, Trudy F. C.; Simianer, Henner; Ayroles, Julien (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Predicting organismal phenotypes from genotype data is important for plant and animal breeding, medicine, and evolutionary biology. Genomic-based phenotype prediction has been applied for single-nucleotide polymorphism ...
