Identity-Based Traitor Tracing

We present the first identity-based traitor tracing scheme. The scheme is shown to be secure in the standard model, assuming the bilinear decision Diffie-Hellman (DBDH) is hard in the asymmetric bilinear pairing setting, and that the DDH assumption holds in the group defining the first coordinate of the asymmetric pairing. Our traitor tracing system allows adaptive pirates to be traced. The sch...

Genetic ancestry and molecular epidemiology.

It is hard to believe that as recently as a decade ago, some of us were finding it virtually impossible to get an epidemiologic study funded from the National Cancer Institute if it required collection and analysis of DNA. Now, it is virtually impossible to get anything funded if you do not! The rapid transformation of epidemiology into the molecular world has been so swift and dramatic that by...

Identifying autism loci and genes by tracing recent shared ancestry.

To find inherited causes of autism-spectrum disorders, we studied families in which parents share ancestors, enhancing the role of inherited factors. We mapped several loci, some containing large, inherited, homozygous deletions that are likely mutations. The largest deletions implicated genes, including PCDH10 (protocadherin 10) and DIA1 (deleted in autism1, or c3orf58), whose level of express...
