Norwegian work on microdata started out with the full count 1801 census and census and vital records from around the capital. Today, most census and ministerial records from 1801 until the mid-20th century have been scanned, transcriptions are being completed, much is encoded and made available via the websites of the Digital National Archives and UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

The immense increase in availability of genomic scale datasets, such as those provided by the ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics projects, presents unprecedented opportunities for individual researchers to pose novel falsifiable biological questions. With this opportunity, however, researchers are faced with the challenge of how to best analyze and interpret their genome-scale datasets. A powerful way ...

Historisk befolkningsregister, HBR, er et register over den norske befolkningen fra 1801 frem til Det sentrale folkeregisteret fra 1964. Det lages ved å lenke sammen personforekomster av samme person i folketellinger og kirkebøker og koble sammen nære familiemedlemmer.<br><br> Vi viser hvordan algoritmer brukes til å finne lenker og koblinger. Vi har funnet familierelasjoner i alle de nominative ...

<b>Background: </b>The understanding of changes in temporal processes related to human carcinogenesis is limited. One approach for prospective functional genomic studies is to compile trajectories of differential expression of genes, based on measurements from many case-control pairs. We propose a new statistical method that does not assume any parametric shape for the gene trajectories. <br><b>Methods:</b> ...
