We present the Distributed Batch Controller (DBC), a system built to support batch processing of large scientiic datasets. The DBC implements a federation of autonomous workstation pools, which may be widely-distributed. Individual batch jobs are executed using idle workstations in these pools. Input data are staged to the pool before processing begins. We describe the architecture and implemen...

In his recent interview for the Guardian Craig Venter is elaborating about a household appliance for the future, Digital Biological Converter (DBC). Current prototype, which can produce DNA, is a box attached to the computer which receives DNA sequences over the internet to synthesize DNA; later in future also viruses, proteins, and living cells. This would help the household members to produce...

Primary immunodeficiency disorders are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders, with different modes of inheritance, consisting of more than 100 different types. We constructed the DNA banking of primary immunodeficiency disorders for the first time in Iran. The DNA of 31 immunodeficient patients and their families (total of 92 samples) were collected, as the first step for construction of D...

Design contracts can be used in software development to ensure the preservation of assertions for program correctness. This can increase reliability in software design. Design by ContractTM (DBC) was developed by Bertrand Meyer and is supported by the Eiffel programming language. Eiffel provides support for checking preconditions, postconditions, and class invariants automatically at runtime. E...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprise an important class of environmental pollutants that are known to cause lung cancer in animals and are suspected lung carcinogens in humans. Moreover, evidence from cell-based studies points to PAHs as modulators of the epigenome. The objective of this work was to assess patterns of genome-wide DNA methylation in lung tissues of adult offspring in...
