Exploring synergies between statistical ecology and statistical genomics

University of St Andrews School of Mathematics and Statistics

Research Group: Division of Statistics

While superficially different, these two areas of research share several questions in common (How many species? How many of each species? How are the species distributed spatially? How should we sample?) that differ fundamentally only in whether the species in question are flora and fauna or nucleic acids and proteins. Read more

Propagation of uncertainty for signatures of mutational processes

University of St Andrews School of Mathematics and Statistics

Research Group: Division of Statistics

There is a trend, especially in cancer research, to i) take a set of DNA mutations ii) cross-categorize them by patient and mutational characteristic and iii) decompose the resulting counts matrix into two sets of vectors – one set representing the mutational impact of specific mutagens and one set representing the exposure of individuals to those mutagens.
