How Many Genetic Variants Remain to Be Discovered?
A great majority of genetic markers discovered in recent genome-wide association studies have small effect sizes, and they explain only a small fraction of the genetic contribution to the diseases. How many more variants can we expect to discover and what study sizes are needed? We derive the connection between the cumulative risk of the SNP variants to the latent genetic risk model and heritab...
متن کاملHow Many Endangered Species Remain to Be Discovered in Brazil?
How many species are likely as-yet unknown to science? Even in relatively well-known groups, there may be substantial numbers of such species. It seems likely that these unknown species will be rare and threatened with extinction. Indeed, science may not discover them before they go extinct. We address these issues for a sample of endemic flowering plants and three vertebrate groups: amphibians...

متن کاملHow many scientific papers should be retracted?
In European research today, mobility has become firmly entrenched as a pre requisite for a successful scientific career; however, the reasons behind this emphasis on scientific nomadism are far from obvious. It is all too common for science policy-makers and funding bodies to extol the seemingly endless virtues of mobility, but it nearly amounts to heresy to ponder the possibility that a move a...
متن کاملHow Many Conflicts Does It Need to Be Unsatisfiable?
A pair of clauses in a CNF formula constitutes a conflict if there is a variable that occurs positively in one clause and negatively in the other. Clearly, a CNF formula has to have conflicts in order to be unsatisfiable—in fact, there have to be many conflicts, and it is the goal of this paper to quantify how many. An unsatisfiable k-CNF has at least 2 clauses; a lower bound of 2 for the numbe...
