GUIDING OUR PCR EXPERIMENTS

Can Our Experiments Illuminate Reality?

A new role for the ARA in guiding our destiny.

It is with considerable pleasure that I address you at the 1987 annual meeting of the American Rheumatism Association. Lois and I have very much enjoyed the opportunity to interact with so many outstanding people in the field during the past five years that I have served as an officer of this organization. What is especially exciting and gratifying for me now is to be part of the new American R...

Paranasal sinus mucoceles: our clinical experiments.

OBJECTIVES We present the clinical and radiological features, treatment protocols, and medium-long-term results of our patients following surgery for paranasal sinus mucocele, along with a review of the relevant literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 18 patients (11 women and 7 men) who underwent surgery for paranasal sinus mucocele at Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Department ...

Methods for comparing multiple digital PCR experiments

The estimated mean copy per partition (λ) is the essential information from a digital PCR (dPCR) experiment because λ can be used to calculate the target concentration in a sample. However, little information is available how to statistically compare dPCR runs of multiple runs or reduplicates. The comparison of λ values from several runs is a multiple comparison problem, which can be solved usi...

EULER-PCR: Finishing Experiments for Repeat Resolution

Genomic sequencing typically generates a large collection of unordered contigs or scaffolds. Contig ordering (also known as gap closure) is a non-trivial algorithmic and experimental problem since even relatively simple-to-assemble bacterial genomes typically result in large set of contigs. Neighboring contigs maybe separated either by gaps in read coverage or by repeats. In the later case we s...
