SNP Discovery Using a Pangenome: Has the Single Reference Approach Become Obsolete?

Increasing evidence suggests that a single individual is insufficient to capture the genetic diversity within a species due to gene presence absence variation. In order to understand the extent to which genomic variation occurs in a species, the construction of its pangenome is necessary. The pangenome represents the complete set of genes of a species; it is composed of core genes, which are pr...

Is Traditional Conceptual Modeling Going to Become Obsolete?

Traditionally, the research and practice of conceptual modeling assumed relevant information about a domain is determined in advance to be used as input to design. The increasing ubiquity of systems – characterized by heterogeneous and transient users, customizable features, and open or extensible data standards – challenges a number of long-held propositions about conceptual modeling. We raise...

Screening Mammography

OBJECTIVE . We evaluated the association between clinical image quality and breast cancer occurrence within 24 months of a negative mammogram. MATERIALS AND METHODS . We identified women with breast cancer who were younger than 40 years old and older and screened from January 1, 1988, through December 31, 1993. We retrospectively assigned Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) asses...
