Using SNPs to find my roots

Using 2k + 2 bubble searches to find SNPs in k-mer graphs

This preprint is now available in published form as: ’Using 2k + 2 bubble searches to find Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in k-mer graphs’ Reda Younsi; Dan MacLean Bioinformatics 2014; doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btu706 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) discovery is an important preliminary for understanding genetic variation. With current sequencing methods we can sample genomes comprehens...

How to Really Find Roots of Polynomials by Newton's Method

Using acid to find direction

he longest journey may begin with a single step, but, in the case of myosin motor proteins moving along actin filaments, the start of the walking stride has been nearly impossible to observe. Now Burgess et al., reporting on page 983, reveal the prepower stroke conformation of myosin on actin, clearing a major hurdle to understanding myosin activity. Previous work on myosin has focused primaril...

Cosero, Find My Keys! Object Localization and Retrieval Using Bluetooth Low Energy Tags

Personal robots will contribute mobile manipulation capabilities to our future smart homes. In this paper, we propose a low-cost object localization system that uses static devices with Bluetooth capabilities, which are distributed in an environment, to detect and localize active Bluetooth beacons and mobile devices. This system can be used by a robot to coarsely localize objects in retrieval t...
