Hi Ellen,

As I mentioned, the papers I have to nominate are
in tend to come from nature genetics, science, etc.
and have to do with the modern tools of molecular biology.
As such, the papers do not usually adhere to the highest
quality of statistical rigor - this is part of why I think
statisticians should get involved!  I also think statisticians
should get involved because it's interesting !

Here are a few papers that have caught my eye recently:

      Reich DE, Schaffner SF, Daly MJ, McVean G, Mullikin JC, Higgins JM,
Richter DJ, Lander ES, Altshuler D.

Human genome sequence variation and the influence of gene history, mutation
and recombination.
Nat Genet. 2002 Sep;32(1):135-42.

      Hollox EJ, Poulter M, Zvarik M, Ferak V, Krause A, Jenkins T, Saha N,
Kozlov AI, Swallow DM.

Lactase haplotype diversity in the Old World.
Am J Hum Genet. 2001 Jan;68(1):160-172.

      Patil N, Berno AJ, Hinds DA, Barrett WA, Doshi JM, Hacker CR, Kautzer
CR, Lee DH, Marjoribanks C, McDonough DP, Nguyen BT, Norris MC, Sheehan JB,
Shen N, Stern D, Stokowski RP, Thomas DJ, Trulson MO, Vyas KR, Frazer KA,
Fodor SP, Cox DR.

Blocks of limited haplotype diversity revealed by high-resolution scanning
of human chromosome 21.
Science. 2001 Nov 23;294(5547):1719-23.

      Daly MJ, Rioux JD, Schaffner SF, Hudson TJ, Lander ES.

High-resolution haplotype structure in the human genome.
Nat Genet. 2001 Oct;29(2):229-32.

      Douglas JA, Boehnke M, Gillanders E, Trent JM, Gruber SB.

Experimentally-derived haplotypes substantially increase the efficiency of
linkage disequilibrium studies.
Nat Genet. 2001 Aug;28(4):361-4.


Brem, Rachel B., Yvert, Gael, Clinton, Rebecca, Kruglyak, Leonid
Genetic Dissection of Transcriptional Regulation in Budding Yeast
Science 2002 296: 752-755


        Kong A, Gudbjartsson DF, Sainz J, Jonsdottir GM, Gudjonsson SA,
Richardsson B, Sigurdardottir S, Barnard J, Hallbeck B, Masson G, Shlien A,
Palsson ST, Frigge ML, Thorgeirsson TE, Gulcher JR, Stefansson K.


A high-resolution recombination map of the human genome.
Nat Genet. 2002 Jul;31(3):241-7.

something controversial, although more 'political' than pure 'scientific"
      Waterston RH, Lander ES, Sulston JE.

On the sequencing of the human genome.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2002 Mar 19;99(6):3712-6.
