Building bridges for slow loris conservation and community empowerment
In 2011, I visited Indonesia to search for a field site where we could start the first ever field study of the Critically Endangered Javan slow loris, found only on the island of Java, where less than 10% of natural forest remains. Thus finding solutions to replace this lost habitat is vital.
SPARK: finding genes with spatial expression patterns
We present Spatial PAttern Recognition via Kernels (SPARK) as an effective statistical tool to identify genes with spatial expression patterns in spatially resolved transcriptomic studies. A particular feature of SPARK is its ability to produce calibrated p-values for spatial analysis.
