Genetic variation analysis holds much promise as a basis for disease-gene association. However, due to the tremendous number of candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), there is a clear need to expedite genotyping by selecting and considering only a subset of all SNPs. This process is known as tagging SNP selection. Several methods for tagging SNP selection have been proposed, and have...

For many biological reasons, it is often necessary to tag and monitor fish from a very early age. However, tagging can adversely affect fish, especially for high tag to body weight ratios. To Ž . determine the minimum size for passive integrated transponders PIT tagging in juvenile perch Ž Perca fluÕiatilis, surgical implantation was evaluated in fish ranging from 1.67 to 10.62 g 55–96 . mm FL ...

While recent progress has been achieved in understanding the structure and dynamics of social tagging systems, we know little about the underlying user motivations for tagging, and how they influence resulting folksonomies and tags. This paper addresses three issues related to this question. (1) What distinctions of user motivations are identified by previous research, and in what ways are the ...
