The Genome Sequence of Taurine Cattle : A Window to Ruminant Biology and Evolution
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Science. - : American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). - 0036-8075 .- 1095-9203. ; 324:5926, s. 522-528

- To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage. The cattle genome contains a minimum of 22,000 genes, with a core set of 14,345 orthologs shared among seven mammalian species of which 1217 are absent or undetected in noneutherian (marsupial or monotreme) genomes. Cattle-specific evolutionary breakpoint regions in chromosomes have a higher density of segmental duplications, enrichment of repetitive elements, and species-specific variations in genes associated with lactation and immune responsiveness. Genes involved in metabolism are generally highly conserved, although five metabolic genes are deleted or extensively diverged from their human orthologs. The cattle genome sequence thus provides a resource for understanding mammalian evolution and accelerating livestock genetic improvement for milk and meat production.

A Software Infrastructure For Information Quality Assessment
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Quality.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Information quality assessment of technical documentation is nowadays an integral part of quality management of products and services. These are usually assessed using questionnaires, checklists, and reviews and consequently work that is cumbersome, costly and prone to errors. Acknowledging the fact that only humans can assess certain quality aspects, we suggest complementing these with automatic quality assessment using a software infrastructure that (i) reads information from documentations, (ii) performs analyses on this information, and (iii) visualizes the results to help stakeholders understand quality issues. We introduce the software infrastructure’s architecture and implementation, its adaptation to different formats of documentations and types of analyses, along with a number of real world cases exemplifying feasibility and benefit of our approach. Altogether, our approach contributes to more efficient and automatic information quality assessments.

A Study of the Effect of Data Normalization on Software and Information Quality Assessment
- 2013

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Indirect metrics in quality models define weighted integrations of direct metrics to provide higher-level quality indicators. This paper presents a case study that investigates to what degree quality models depend on statistical assumptions about the distribution of direct metrics values when these are integrated and aggregated. We vary the normalization used by the quality assessment efforts of three companies, while keeping quality models, metrics, metrics implementation and, hence, metrics values constant. We find that normalization has a considerable impact on the ranking of an artifact (such as a class). We also investigate how normalization affects the quality trend and find that normalizations have a considerable effect on quality trends. Based on these findings, we find it questionable to continue to aggregate different metrics in a quality model as we do today.

Mining Job Ads to find what skills are sought after from an employers' perspective on IT graduates
- 2014
-
Ingår i: ITICSE 2014 - Proceedings of the 2014 Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education Conference. - New York, New York, USA : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450328333
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We mine job ads to discover what skills are required from an employers' perspective. Some obvious trends appear, such as skills related to web and mobile technology. We aim to uncover more detailed information as the study continues to allow course content to better match the expressed needs.

Probabilistic Quality Models to Improve Communication and Actionability
- 2015
-
Ingår i: 2015 30th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering Workshop (ASEW). - IEEE : IEEE Press. - 9781467397759 ; , s. 1-4
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We need to aggregate metric values to make quality assessment actionable. However, due to properties of metric values, i.e., unknown distributions and different measurement scales, they are difficult to aggregate. We present and evaluate a method to aggregate metric values based on observed numerical distributions that are converted into cumulative density functions. We use these to determine the probability of each metric and file, and aggregate these. Our limited study suggests that the method improves correctness, communication, and the ability to take action. However, more evaluation is required.

TDMentions : A Dataset of Technical Debt Mentions in Online Posts
- 2019
-
Ingår i: 2019 IEEE/ACM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TECHNICAL DEBT (TECHDEBT 2019). - : IEEE. - 9781728133713 ; , s. 123-124
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The term technical debt is easy to understand as a metaphor, but can quickly grow complex in practice. We contribute with a dataset, TDMentions, that enables researchers to study how developers and end users use the term technical debt in online posts and discussions. The dataset consists of posts from news aggregators and Q&A-sites, blog posts, and issues and commits on GitHub.

The Design and Implementation of a Software Infrastructure for IQ Assessment
- 2012
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Information Quality. - 1751-0457. ; 3:1, s. 49-70
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Information quality assessment of technical documentation is an integral part of quality management of products and services. Technical documentation is usually assessed using questionnaires, checklists, and reviews. This is cumbersome, costly and prone to errors. Acknowledging the fact that only people can assess certain quality aspects, we suggest complementing these with software-supported automatic quality assessment. The many different encodings and representations of documentation, e.g., various XML dialects and XML Schemas/DTDs, is one problem. We present a system, a software infrastructure, where abstraction and meta modelling are used to define reusable analyses and visualisations that are independent of specific encodings and representations. We show how this system is implemented and how it: 1) reads information from documentations; 2) performs analyses on this information; 3) visualises the results to help stakeholders understand quality issues. We introduce the system, the architecture and implementation, its adaptation to different formats of documentations and types of analyses, along with a number of real world cases exemplifying the feasibility and benefits of our approach. Altogether, our approach contributes to more efficient information quality assessments.

Visualization of Text Clones in Technical Documentation
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of SIGRAD 2012. - 9789175197234 ; , s. 79-82
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- An initial study of how text clones can be detected and visualized in technical documentation, i.e., semi-structured text that describe a product, software, or service. The goal of the visualizations is to support human experts to assess and prioritize the clones, since certain clones can be either intentional or harmless. We study some existing visualizations designed for source code, and provide initial and limited adaption of these. A major difficulty in this adaptation is to manage the semi-structured technical documentation compared to structured source code.

Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits.
- 2018
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High blood pressure is a highly heritable and modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We report the largest genetic association study of blood pressure traits (systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure) to date in over 1 million people of European ancestry. We identify 535 novel blood pressure loci that not only offer new biological insights into blood pressure regulation but also highlight shared genetic architecture between blood pressure and lifestyle exposures. Our findings identify new biological pathways for blood pressure regulation with potential for improved cardiovascular disease prevention in the future.
