Recently, blind multi-user detection has become an important topic in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signals are well-known due to their low probability of detection, and secure communication. In this article, the problem of blind multi-user detection is studied in variable processing gain direct-sequence code division multiple access (VPG D...

In this study, the full-length M2 gene of the avian influenza virus (H9N2) was isolated, analyzed and studied in detail. Total RNA was extracted and cDNA of the M2 mRNA was obtained by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using random hexamer oligoes; specific primers were used for amplification of the M2 open reading frame (ORF) region. PCR was able to amplify the desirable...

background: dense granule antigens (gra antigens) of toxoplasma gondii induce strong antibody response in humans and are considered as useful diagnostic antigens. previous studies reported expression of amino terminal gra8 protein in fusion with large tags such as glutathione-s-transferase. the present study aimed to produce soluble full length immunogenic gra8 in bacteria. methods: gra8 comple...

background: genomic dna was isolated from parabronema skrjabini . rrna region was amplified and sequenced. methods : the rna secondary structure was predicted using mfold software (http://mfold.rit.albany.edu). the secondary structure with bulge, hairpins, helices, interior, external and multi loops was predicted for 5.8srdna of our sequence of p. skrjabini and a sequence of p. skrjabini and tw...

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are very effective molecular markers in population genetics, genome mapping, taxonomic study and other large-scale studies. Variation in number of tandem repeats within microsatellite refers to simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP); but there are a few studies that are showed SSRs replication slippage may be occurred during in vitro amplifi...

Telomeres play a key role in replicative ageing and undergo age-dependent attrition in vivo. Here, we report a novel method, TelSeq, to measure average telomere length from whole genome or exome shotgun sequence data. In 260 leukocyte samples, we show that TelSeq results correlate with Southern blot measurements of the mean length of terminal restriction fragments (mTRFs) and display age-depend...

Classic support based approaches efficiently address frequent sequence mining. However, support based mining has been shown to suffer from a bias towards short sequences. In this paper, we propose a method to resolve this bias when mining the most frequent sequences. In order to resolve the length bias we define norm-frequency, based on the statistical zscore of support, and use it to replace s...

Sequence labeling problem is commonly encountered in many natural language and query processing tasks. SVM is a supervised learning algorithm that provides a flexible and effective way to solve this problem. However, a large amount of training examples is often required to train SVM, which can be costly for many applications that generate long and complex sequence data. This paper proposes an a...
