Rapid and accurate genome-wide marker detection is essential to the marker-assisted breeding and functional genomics studies. In this work, we developed an integrated software, AgroMarker Finder (AMF: http://erp.novelbio.com/AMF), for providing graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate the recently developed restriction-site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing data analysis in rice. By applicati...

Stratified medicine requires identifying predictive markers to determine differential treatment effects for subgroups. Ideally, these markers are then validated in prospective randomised trials. However, many of the methods for the analysis and validation of markers are based on there being a single marker. For example, a biomarker stratified trial design typically stratifies on a single binary...

An equivalence relation E on a standard Borel space is hyperfinite if E is the increasing union of countably many Borel equivalence relations En where all En-equivalence classs are finite. In this article we establish the following theorem: if a countable abelian group acts on a standard Borel space in a Borel manner then the orbit equivalence relation is hyperfinite. The proof uses constructio...

the use of l1 in language classroom has been traditionally repressed by applied linguists. however, in recent years, it is believed that switching to l1 can be considered a pedagogical instrument by teachers rather than a heterodox. consequently, this two-phase study was an attempt to investigate the functions that are fulfilled by efl teachers through their use of l1. in the first phase (i.e.,...

background: cholangiocarcinoma is an invasive biliary malignancy with poor prognosis. diagnostic accuracy of conventional methods is low which is mainly due to the specific anatomy of the disease. the aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of biochemical profile and tumor marker of the bile in patients with malignant cholestasis compared to that of choledocholithiasis. methods: ...
