The local matrices can be used to inspect the relevant citation environment of a journal using statistical analysis and visualization techniques from social network analysis. The inspection gives an answer to t...

Singled out for its singularity: In a single-step, single-component, fluorescence-based method for the detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms at room temperature, the sensor is comprised of a single, self-complementary DNA strand that forms a triple-stem structure. The large conformational change that occurs upon binding to perfectly matched (PM) targets results in a significant increase ...
