The defining goal of these large-scale cancer genome sequencing projects is to establish a complete census of cancer genes [ 1], in much the same way as the field of genetic epidemiology is working on a comprehensive table of genetic disease risks through massive-scale association studies.
Wernicke had described the tract as "a massive set of association fibres, which connects the upper tip of the angular gyrus with the fusiform gyrus".
In 2013, a major European cancer genetics consortium called COGS Collaborative Oncological Gene-environmentt Study) published a series of papers describing the results of a massive genome-wide association study of 100,000 cancer patients and 100,000 healthy controls.
Many risk alleles for type 2 diabetes and hyperglycemia have been detected in recent years through massive genome-wide association studies and evidence exists that most of these variants influence pancreatic β-cell function.
Large cores (which probably contain subcondensations) up to a few light-years in size seem to give rise to unbound associations of very massive stars (called OB associations after the spectral type of their most prominent members, O and B stars) or to bound clusters of less massive stars.
Such a massive amount of associations is difficult to evaluate or interpret directly.
In our field survey, we recognized three facies associations: "massive facies" (equivalent to "dense flow deposits" in Kelfoun et al. 2009), "proximal cross-stratified facies" and "distal cross-stratified facies" (later on, Ma, P- Xst and D- Xst, respectively).
This association between massive PPH and CS is comparable to other studies, where the highest risk of massive PPH has been reported for pre-labor CS and emergency CS, especially in mothers with previous CS.
Eventually the massive stars in the association explode as supernovae, which further disturb the surrounding gas.
Horace Andy's long association with Massive Attack has made him one of the world's best-known reggae artists.
