(2012-07-16)The increased availability of data in biological databases provides many opportunities for understanding biological processes through these data. As recent attention has shifted from sequence analysis to higher-level ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This work is directed towards developing flexible Bayesian statistical methods in the semi- and nonparamteric regression modeling framework with special focus on analyzing data from biological and genetic experiments. This ...
-
(2013-07-23)Both the maximum agreement forest problem and the multicut on trees problem are NP-hard, thus cannot be solved efficiently if P /=NP. The maximum agreement forest problem was motivated in the study of evolution trees in ...
-
(2009-05-15)Biological patterns are widely used for identifying biologically interesting regions within macromolecules, classifying biological objects, predicting functions and studying evolution. Good pattern finding algorithms will ...
-
(2013-02-06)Genetic research opens doors to applied science. The more that is understood about the genetics of something, the more that organism can be used to achieve some desired outcome, an example being increase in crop yield or ...
-
(2016-04-26)Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) play a crucial role in the existence and proper development of all living organisms. In addition, it is through these molecules that the genetic information is ...
-
(2020-10-29)Microorganisms account for ~70% of the total biomass of the ocean and fill many necessary roles within the ecosystem. However, little is known about how the marine microbial communities respond and recover from environmental ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Initial activities were focused on isolation and characterization of fruit ripening-related genes from tomato. Screening of four tomato cDNA libraries at low stringency with 10 fruit development and ripening-related genes ...
-
(2019-04-22)On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall off the coast of Texas then stalled over the Houston area for five days, setting the record for the highest rainfall in the United States. The waters drained through Houston ...
-
(2022-12-12)Advances in tissue engineering and microfabrication techniques have skyrocketed the adoption of contemporary organ-chip biotechnology as an alternative disease and drug screening model compared to animals and traditional ...
-
(2016-08-18)Bolstered resubstitution is a simple and fast error estimation method that has been shown to perform better than cross-validation and comparably with bootstrap in small-sample settings. However, it has been observed that ...
-
(2015-05-04)Predictive modeling of the dynamic, multivariate, non-linear, stochastic systems of biology is a difficult enterprise. High throughput measurement techniques are enabling new approaches to computational biology, but the ...
-
Structural, Functional and Evolutionary Characterization of Sense-Antisense Transcripts in Mammals (2010-07-14)Sense-antisense transcripts (SATs) are messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts that have regions that are complementary to regions of other mRNA transcripts. SATs may play an influential role in the regulation of gene expression. ...
-
(2018-11-26)The colony-forming green microalga Botryococcus braunii is mostly known for its ability to produce an abundance of liquid hydrocarbons. However, geochemical studies have found fossilized remains of the species in petroleum ...
-
(2016-08-23)Microbial extremophiles have the potential for a wide variety of biotechnological and industrial applications and yet extremophiles are underrepresented in whole genome sequencing efforts to date. The generation of whole ...
-
(2017-07-21)Human chromosome 15q11-q13 contains a cluster of imprinted genes that are associated with a number of neurological disorders that exhibit non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance, such as Angelman syndrome (AS) and Prader-Willi ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Transposable elements (TEs) are utilized for the creation of a wide range of transgenic organisms. However, in some systems, this technique is not very efficient due to low transposition frequencies and integration into ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Wavelet methods possess versatile properties for statistical applications. We would like to explore the advantages of using wavelets in the analyses in two different research areas. First of all, we develop an integrated ...
-
(2019-08-28)Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a major opportunistic canine pathogen that has been associated with an increasing number of human infections. As an opportunist, S. pseudintermedius causes a wide range of infections, ...
