Stories from Brixton: Gentrification and Different Differences

Bias In Wikipedia: Different Links, Different Stories

We attempt to uncover the latent biases in different narratives on Wikipedia by investigating the link structure of the within-Wikipedia link graphs generated from a seed article of interest. The case study presented in this report is the Wikipedia article entitled “ArabIsraeli Conflict”. We perform three experiments on this dataset: 1) hierarchical clustering on personalized PageRank vectors f...

Two Cheers for Gentrification

Deep metazoan phylogeny: when different genes tell different stories.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses have produced a plethora of controversial hypotheses regarding the patterns of diversification of non-bilaterian animals. To unravel the causes for the patterns of extreme inconsistencies at the base of the metazoan tree of life, we constructed a novel supermatrix containing 122 genes, enriched with non-bilaterian taxa. Comparative analyses of this supermatrix an...

Modelling clinical systemic lupus erythematosus: similarities, differences and success stories

Mouse models of SLE have been indispensable tools to study disease pathogenesis, to identify genetic susceptibility loci and targets for drug development, and for preclinical testing of novel therapeutics. Recent insights into immunological mechanisms of disease progression have boosted a revival in SLE drug development. Despite promising results in mouse studies, many novel drugs have failed t...
