Properties of Consensus Methods for Inferring Species Trees from Gene Trees (2009)
Degnan, James H., DeGiorgio, Michael, Bryant, David, Rosenberg, Noah A.
Consensus methods provide a useful strategy for summarizing information from a collection of gene trees. An important application of consensus methods is to combine gene trees to estimate a species...
Genotype, haplotype and copy-number variation in worldwide human populations (2008)
Jakobsson, Mattias, Scholz, Sonja W., Scheet, Paul, Gibbs, J. Raphael, VanLiere, Jenna M., Fung, Hon-Chung, ...
Genome-wide patterns of variation across individuals provide a powerful source of data for uncovering the history of migration, range expansion, and adaptation of the human species. However,...

EFBAT: exact family-based association tests (2007)
Schneiter, Kady, Degnan, James H, Corcoran, Christopher, Xu, Xin, Laird, Nan
Abstract Background Family-based association tests are important tools for investigating genetic risk factors of complex diseases. These tests are especially valuable for being robust to population...
Inconsistency of Phylogenetic Estimates from Concatenated Data under Coalescence (2007)
Kubatko, Laura Salter, Degnan, James H.
Although multiple gene sequences are becoming increasingly available for molecular phylogenetic inference, the analysis of such data has largely relied on inference methods designed for single genes....
Discordance of Species Trees with Their Most Likely Gene Trees (2006)
James H. Degnan, Noah A. Rosenberg
Because of the stochastic way in which lineages sort during speciation, gene trees may differ in topology from each other and from species trees. Surprisingly, assuming that genetic lineages follow a...
GENE TREE DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE COALESCENT PROCESS (2005)
James H. Degnan, Laura A. Salter
Under the coalescent model for population divergence, lineage sorting can cause considerable variability in gene trees generated from any given species tree. In this paper, we derive a method for...
200 KJ Copper Foil Fuses. (2005)
McClenahan,Charles R., Goforth,J. H., Degnan,James H., Henderson,R. M., Janssen,W. H.
A 200-kJ, 50-kV capacitor bank has been discharged into 1-mil-thick copper foils immersed in fine glass beads. These foils ranged in length from 27 to 71 cm and in width from 15 to 40 cm. Voltage...
Degnan,James H., Reinovsky,Robert E.
The design concept of a puffed gas electromagnetic implosion plasma generator is briefly discussed. Experimental investigations of the feasibility of producing reasonably well defined cylindrical gas...
X-Ray Measurements With Films Masked by Staggered Absorption Layers of Aluminum (1998)
Englert, Thad J., Englert, Sue E., Degnan, James H.
A technique for measuring x-ray emissions within the photon energy range 1 keV to 10 keV is described. A staggered set of aluminum absorbers, supported by kimfoil, is used to mask x-ray-sensitive...
