全新世早期强降温事件的古里雅冰芯记录证据

根据古里雅冰芯记录，揭示出全新世早期存在两次低温事件，并且其发生年代（9．4和8．2kaBP左右）与全新世早期北大西洋的两次冰筏事件年代相一致。其中后一代低温事件（即“８．２kaBP冷事件）”极为显著，并表现出迅速降温、缓慢升温的明显特征，最冷时降温幅度达７．８－10℃，大于格陵兰冰芯记录中该冷事件的降温幅度。这反映了青藏高原地区对于气候变化的敏感性。弱的太阳活动和弱的热盐环流是“8．2kaBP冷事件”发生的关键原因。     

Transferability of tag SNPs in genetic association studies in multiple populations

A general question for linkage disequilibrium-based association studies is how power to detect an association is compromised when tag SNPs are chosen from data in one population sample and then deployed in another sample. Specifically, it is important to know how well tags picked from the HapMap DNA samples capture the variation in other samples. To address this, we collected dense data uniformly across the four HapMap population samples and eleven other population samples. We picked tag SNPs using genotype data we collected in the HapMap samples and then evaluated the effective coverage of these tags in comparison to the entire set of common variants observed in the other samples. We simulated case-control association studies in the non-HapMap samples under a disease model of modest risk, and we observed little loss in power. These results demonstrate that the HapMap DNA samples can be used to select tags for genome-wide association studies in many samples around the world.     

Common variants on chromosomes 2q35 and 16q12 confer susceptibility to estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer

Familial clustering studies indicate that breast cancer risk has a substantial genetic component. To identify new breast cancer risk variants, we genotyped approximately 300,000 SNPs in 1,600 Icelandic individuals with breast cancer and 11,563 controls using the Illumina Hap300 platform. We then tested selected SNPs in five replication sample sets. Overall, we studied 4,554 affected individuals and 17,577 controls. Two SNPs consistently associated with breast cancer: approximately 25% of individuals of European descent are homozygous for allele A of rs13387042 on chromosome 2q35 and have an estimated 1.44-fold greater risk than noncarriers, and for allele T of rs3803662 on 16q12, about 7% are homozygous and have a 1.64-fold greater risk. Risk from both alleles was confined to estrogen receptor-positive tumors. At present, no genes have been identified in the linkage disequilibrium block containing rs13387042. rs3803662 is near the 5' end of TNRC9 , a high mobility group chromatin-associated protein whose expression is implicated in breast cancer metastasis to bone.     

孤岛油田馆(1+2)地层划分对比与沉积模式

孤岛油田馆(1 2)砂层组属于河流相沉积，其纵向、横向相变迅速，砂体难以大面积追踪，本利用河流结构单元分析法、标准层与辅助标志层控制下的“旋回-厚度”对比法，很好地解决了馆(1 2)地层的划分对比问题，其中馆(1 2)砂层组内辅助标志层的发现为地层的划分对比提供了重要的保证．根据结构单元分析、砂体的岩性特征、粒度特征、河流砂体的空间展布形态以及河流曲率的计算，对馆(1 2)河流沉积的垂向旋回性及沉积模式进行了研究。对比Miall的16种河流分类方案，孤岛油田馆(1 2)砂层组属于细粒曲流河沉积．
