This paper develops a new adaptive scanning methodology for intra frame scalable coding framework based on a subband/wavelet(DWTSB) coding approach for MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 scalable video coding (SVC). It attempts to take advantage of the prior knowledge of the frequencies which are present in different higher frequency subbands. We propose dyadic intra frame coding method with adaptive scan (DWTSB...

Identifying protein-coding regions in DNA sequences is an active issue in computational biology. In this study, we present a self adaptive spectral rotation (SASR) approach, which visualizes coding regions in DNA sequences, based on investigation of the Triplet Periodicity property, without any preceding training process. It is proposed to help with the rough coding regions prediction when ther...

Classical coding schemes that rely on joint typicality (such as Slepian-Wolf coding and channel coding) assume known statistics and rely on asymptotically long sequences. However, in practice the statistics are unknown, and the sequences are of finite length n. In this finite regime, we must allow a non-zero probability of coding error and also pay a penalty by transmitting extra bits. The pena...

To evaluate the incidence and clinical impact of WT1 gene mutations in younger adult patients with cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML), sequencing of the complete coding region was performed in diagnostic samples from 617 patients who were treated on 3 German-Austrian AML Study Group protocols. WT1 mutations were identified in 78 (12.6%) of the 617 patients; mutations cluster...

The CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) is an essential transcription factor for granulocytic differentiation. C/EBPalpha mutations are found in approximately 8% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Most of these mutations occur in the N-terminal coding region, resulting in a frame shift and the enhanced translation of a dominant-negative 30-kDa protein, which may be responsi...

MicroRNAs are endogenous, conserved, and non-coding small RNAs that function as post-transcriptional regulators of fat development and adipogenesis. Adipogenic marker genes, such as CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (Cebpa), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (Pparg), adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (Ap2), and fatty acid synthase (Fas), are regarded as the essential transcriptiona...

The clinical and prognostic relevance of many recently identified driver gene mutations in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is poorly defined. We sequenced the coding regions or hotspot areas of 68 recurrently mutated genes in a cohort of 664 patients aged 18 to 86 years treated on 2 phase 3 trials of the German AML Cooperative Group (AMLCG). The median number of 4 mutations per patient varie...

Candida albicans, which is diploid, possesses a single mating-type (MTL) locus on chromosome 5, which is normally heterozygous (a/alpha). To mate, C. albicans must undergo MTL homozygosis to a/a or alpha/alpha. Three possible mechanisms may be used in this process, mitotic recombination, gene conversion, or loss of one chromosome 5 homolog, followed by duplication of the retained homolog. To di...
