MEME (Multiple EM for Motif Elicitation) is one of the most widely used tools for searching for novel 'signals' in sets of biological sequences. Applications include the discovery of new transcription factor binding sites and protein domains. MEME works by searching for repeated, ungapped sequence patterns that occur in the DNA or protein sequences provided by the user. Users can perform MEME s...

The MEME Suite web server provides a unified portal for online discovery and analysis of sequence motifs representing features such as DNA binding sites and protein interaction domains. The popular MEME motif discovery algorithm is now complemented by the GLAM2 algorithm which allows discovery of motifs containing gaps. Three sequence scanning algorithms--MAST, FIMO and GLAM2SCAN--allow scannin...

The publication of reply in images on digital social networks is increasingly commonplace. These images carry texts, phrases, thoughts or subjective visual features that may have meaning through context or user interpretation. This research provides a process for the extraction of semantic features of images posted as comments and feeds in the online social network Facebook, and through the int...

The concepts of memetics and the development of meme media implementations have set the stage for knowledge media evolution by which externalized human knowledge is becoming subject to a process of growth which can be boosted by technological means. Computers acting in computer networks in co-operation with humans will constitute interactive knowledge media – another goal of Artificial Intellig...

Richard Dawkins’ concept of the meme was first formulated in his book The Selfish Gene (Oxford, 1976). In The Memetics of Music: A Neo-Darwinian View of Musical Structure and Culture (Ashgate, 2007), the first substantial text applying the concept of memetics to music, Steven Jan proposes a theory of music and an associated analytical method centred on the meme. For Jan, memes are a multitude o...

İnce iğne aspirasyon sitolojisi (İİAS) meme kitlelerinin ayırıcı tanısında kolay ve hızlı bir yöntemdir. Papiller karsinom meme tümörlerinin sadece %1-2’ini oluşturan nadir malign tümörlerdendir. Memenin benign ve malign papiller lezyonlarını sitolojik ve histolojik preparatlarda ayırt etmek güç olabilir. Burada İİAS’nde şüpheli lezyon, dokuda invaziv papiller karsinom tanısı alan olgu sunulmak...

In this paper, we will expound upon the concepts proffered in [5], where we proposed an information theoretic approach to intelligence in the computational sense. We will examine data and meme aggregation, and study the effect of limited resources on the resulting meme amplitudes.

A number of recent studies of information diffusion in social media, both empirical and theoretical, have been inspired by viral propagation models derived from epidemiology. These studies model propagation of memes, i.e., pieces of information, between users in a social network similarly to the way diseases spread in human society. Naturally, many of these studies emphasize social exposure, i....

The concept of meme misidentifies units of cultural information as active agents, which is the same "shorthand" that misleads our understanding of genes and obscures the dynamic logic of evolution. But the meme concept does offer hope by contributing something missing from many semiotic theories. In treating memes as replicators, Dawkins fails to distinguish mere patterns from information (and ...
