Cos 597c: Topics in Computational Molecular Biology Dna Arrays
نویسنده
چکیده
Before exploring the details of DNA chips, let’s take a step back and look at the larger significance of this technology. DNA chips are transforming the way scientists think of cells. Because of this technology, scientists can now view a cell as an array of expressed genes. This is very different from the way cells were previously viewed and this incredible amount of detail – at the very gene level – gives much more information about the internal processes of a cell than was ever previously possible.

A Model for Measurement Error for Gene Expression Arrays
We introduce a model for measurement error in gene expression arrays as a function of the expression level. This model, together with analysis methods, data transformations, and weighting, allows much more precise comparisons of gene expression, and provides guidance for analysis of background, determination of confidence intervals, and preprocessing data for multivariate analysis.
متن کاملThe EM Algorithm and the Rise of Computational Biology
In the past decade computational biology has grown from a cottage industry with a handful of researchers to an attractive interdisciplinary field, catching the attention and imagination of many quantitatively-minded scientists. Of interest to us is the key role played by the EM algorithm during this transformation. We survey the use of the EM algorithm in a few important computational biology p...
متن کاملDNA Library Design for Molecular Computation
A novel approach to designing a DNA library for molecular computation is presented. The method is employed for encoding binary information in DNA molecules. It aims to achieve a practical discrimination between perfectly matched DNA oligomers and those with mismatches in a large pool of different molecules. The approach takes into account the ability of DNA strands to hybridize in complex struc...
متن کاملScalable Heuristics for Design of DNA Probe Arrays
Design of DNA arrays for very large-scale immobilized polymer synthesis (VLSIPS) (Fodor et al., 1991) seeks to minimize effects of unintended illumination during mask exposure steps. Hannenhalli et al. (2002) formulate this requirement as the Border Minimization Problem and give an algorithm for placement of probes at array sites under the assumption that the array synthesis is synchronous; i.e...
متن کاملEditorial: Nucleic Acids Research annual Web Server Issue in 2016
Topics. The papers in theWeb Server Issue reflect current and emerging trends in bioinformatics and computational biology research. Of particular interest are recent works which move beyond an understanding of bio-molecular phenomena toward an emphasis on the development of engineering tools to exploit that understanding. Examples includeCRISPRmodification of DNA sequences, functional design of...
