  • Publication number: 20240120028
    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve estimating, from genetic data of a plurality of individuals, identity-by-descent (IBD) segments; forming, from the IBD segments, a relationship graph representing genetic linkages between the individuals; determining, by applying a stochastic block model to the relationship graph, a plurality of genetic groups, wherein each of the genetic groups is assigned a respective subset of the individuals who share a greater amount of IBD segment length with one another than with a further respective subset of the individuals who are in other of the genetic groups; and training, for each of the genetic groups, a respective classifier based on (i) input including genome-wide local ancestry proportions of the individuals and sums of IBD segments for the individuals in the respective genetic group, and (ii) associated output of assignments of the individuals to the genetic groups.

  • Patent number: 5537610
    Abstract: A mobile communications network comprises a PCN network (60-64) including a plurality of radio cells under the jurisdiction of an MSC (mobile-services switching center). One or more of said cells comprise a fixed base (60, 61) for a mobile subscriber (71). Location information regarding the fixed bases being stored in a fixed location register (FLR). When the mobile subscriber roams into such a fixed base location (60, 61) a respective service type is provided. In particular, the fixed base may be a business site (60) with a PABX network. When the mobile subscriber roams into the business site, calls involving him are routed via the PCN network or rather the base station controller (BSC) thereof, which is intelligent in that it has MSC functionality located thereat. Thus a mobile phone can act as a desk phone, with all the same services provided, whilst the mobile subscriber is within the business fixed base.
