Scaling of connectivity in marine populations.

Defining the scale of connectivity, or exchange, among marine populations and determining the factors driving this exchange are pivotal to our understanding of the population dynamics, genetic structure, and biogeography of many coastal species. Using a high-resolution biophysical model for the Caribbean region, we report that typical larval dispersal distances of ecologically relevant magnitud...

Stochastic Process Algebras: From Individuals to Populations

In this paper we report on progress in the use of stochastic process algebras for representing systems which contain many replications of components such as clients, servers and devices. Such systems have traditionally been difficult to analyse even when using high-level models because of the need to represent the vast range of their potential behaviour. Models of concurrent systems with many c...

Sequencing genomes: from individuals to populations.

The whole genome sequences of Jim Watson and Craig Venter are early examples of personalized genomics, which promises to change how we approach healthcare in the future. Before personal sequencing can have practical medical benefits, however, and before it should be advocated for implementation at the population-scale, there needs to be a better understanding of which genetic variants influence...
