We have collected over half a million splice sites from five species-Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans and Arabidopsis thaliana-and classified them into four subtypes: U2-type GT-AG and GC-AG and U12-type GT-AG and AT-AC. We have also found new examples of rare splice-site categories, such as U12-type introns without canonical borders, and U2-dependent ...

Permutations on strings representing gene clusters on genomes have been studied earlier in [18, 14, 3, 12, 17] and the idea of a maximal permutation pattern was introduced in [12]. In this paper, we present a new tool for representation and detection of gene clusters in multiple genomes, using PQ trees [6]: this describes the inner structure and the relations between clusters succinctly, aids i...

Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (Fs/QCA) is a social science me thod developed in order to combine case-oriented and variable-oriented quantitative analysis. It started with the creation of qualitative comparative analysis [1], with Fs/QCA later developed by applying fuzzy-set theory [2]. Although the fuzzy-set approach is still considered to be in the process of being developed [3-5...

Aim of the study: To determine the efficacy of Radiovisiography in estimating working length and to compare the accuracy of working length determination between radiovisiography and conventional radiographic methods. Materials and method: A total of 100 samples from 20 single rooted and 30 multirooted teeth were taken. Working length was estimated by both conventional radiographic method (CLrad...

Hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of death in civilian and military trauma. Thrombelastography (TEG) quantitatively measures the viscoelastic changes of whole blood during clotting, from the beginning of coagulation to the end with fibrinolysis. In this study, we successfully developedand used a TEG method to compare a well-known Chinese herb medicine (i.e., Yunnan Baiyao) for hemorrhage ...

Computational gene prediction using generative models has reached a plateau, with several groups converging to a generalized hidden Markov model (GHMM) incorporating phylogenetic models of nucleotide sequence evolution. Further improvements in gene calling accuracy are likely to come through new methods that incorporate additional data, both comparative and species specific. Conditional Random ...

Humans encounter a myriad of actions or events and later recall some of these events using episodic memory. New research suggests that dogs can imitate recently encountered actions using episodic memory.
