Research

Ants

Working with Devin Kennedy and Ben Rubin (Cornell), we created and implemented an algorithm that given the genotypes of a list of male ants from a colony, will find the minimum number of queens that could have produced these males and give the queens' genotypes. to A brief paper is available explaining the algorithm. Devin's C++ implementation of this algorithm is complete and can be found here. I also wrote a java implementation which needs a little repair, and will be added when complete (or upon request).

Doxygen documentation for the C++ source code is available.

If you want to check out the C++ source code, you can do so using bazaar. To build the sources, you'll need to have GLPK installed.


        $ bzr checkout http://rossmanderson.com/bzr/ants
        $ cd ants/trunk
        $ autoreconf
        $ ./configure
        $ make

Geodata

A paper is available explaining everything about this project.

If you want to check out the source code, you can do so using subversion. An easier approach may be to use Subclipse with Eclipse to check out and build the sources. The repository URL is http://rossmanderson.com/svn/burst/. If you are working on the commandline, you can check out like this: 


        $ svn co http://rossmanderson.com/svn/burst/
