From the remaining loci, initial selection for inclusion was made based on amplicon length, number of alleles (high allelic diversity preferred), and inbreeding coefficient (loci with extreme deviation of Hardy Weinberg equilibrium were avoided).
Most of the startups that companies hope will address the diversity problem prefer to think of themselves as levelling the playing field more broadly.
If people who prefer diversity settle in more diverse districts while those who dislike diversity settle in more homogeneous ones, and the decision of where to live is optimal, we should expect no correlation between diversity and individual well-being.
Several influential studies have argued that intolerance is not a prerequisite for a segregated society, and that segregation can arise even when people generally prefer diversity.
Growing Android fragmentation — or device diversity if you prefer — has been visualized in a new report by crowdsourced cell phone signal startup OpenSignal, which has surveyed 682,000 devices to build its annual peek at Google's mobile OS ecosystem.
A worker may simply prefer diversity in job tasks, being happier dividing time in two different jobs or occupations.2 In this spirit, Renna and Oaxaca (2006) develop a job portfolio model based on a personal preference for job differentiation.
I prefer diversity, the pleasure of discovery.
The court sees the benefit of diversity but would prefer that people achieve that with race-neutral means.
Unlike some autism advocates who champion the disorder as an emblem of diversity, Ido would prefer to be typical.
As a summary of the differentiation of communities (i.e. the β-diversity), we preferred not to use the exponential of Hβ that would produce estimates in equivalent number of samples, a measure quite ambiguous when samples have different numbers of observations.
Yet 30 years ago, game theorist Thomas Schelling used one of the first agent-based models to show how extreme segregation tends to emerge even in populations that prefer ethnic diversity, and in the absence of any institutional pressures.
