The nutritional status is generally measured by body mass index (BMI) being obese, one of the most important non-communicable diseases, a risk factor whose estimation is especially relevant for the development of future ...

The project of this bachelor degree concerns the statistical analysis of a genetic database provided by Professor Victor Moreno, epidemiologist of the Hospital de Bellvitge in Barcelona. The goal is to investigate associations ...

The detection of cryptic relatedness in large population-based cohorts is of great importance in genome research. The usual approach for detecting closely related individuals is to plot allele sharing statistics, based on ...

To those outside the field, and even to some focused on empirical applications, phylogenetics may appear to have little to do with algebra. Probability and statistics are clearly important ingredients, as modeling and ...

Actualmente, el Virus del Papiloma Humano (VPH) es la infección de transmisión sexual más común que existe. La persistencia de este puede provocar distintos cánceres, siendo el más común el cáncer cervical. El objetivo de ...

With advances in protein structure predictions, the number of available high-quality structures has increased dramatically. In light of these advances, structure-based enzyme engineering is expected to become increasingly ...

Background: Typical evolutionary events like recombination, hybridization or gene transfer make necessary the use of phylogenetic networks to properly depict the evolution of DNA and protein sequences. Although several ...
