Novel features in the genetic code and codon reading patterns in <i>Neurospora crassa</i> mitochondria based on sequences of six mitochondrial tRNAs

We report the sequences of Neurospora crassa mitochondrial alanine, leucine 1 , leucine 2 , threonine, tryptophan, and valine tRNAs. On the basis of the anticodon sequences of t...

Graphene based heterostructures

A statistical approach to automatic speech recognition using the atomic speech units constructed from overlapping articulatory features

In recent years, the development of a feature-based general statistical framework has been pursued for automatic speech recognition via novel designs of minimal or atomic units ...

Scoping review shows wide variation in the definitions of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants and calls for a consensus

Abstract The use of different definitions for bronchopulmonary dysplasia ( BPD ) has been an ongoing challenge. We searched papers published in English from 2010 and 2015 report...

Snoring in a Hispanic-American population. Risk factors and association with hypertension and other morbidity

Snoring was investigated in a survey of respiratory disease in Hispanic-Americans of a New Mexico community. A population-based sample of 1222 adults was studied with questionna...

PurityEst: estimating purity of human tumor samples using next-generation sequencing data

Abstract Summary: We developed a novel algorithm, PurityEst, to infer the tumor purity level from the allelic differential representation of heterozygous loci with somatic mutat...

Phylogeography and Molecular Systematics of the Peromyscus aztecus Species Group (Rodentia: Muridae) Inferred Using Parsimony and Likelihood

Mice of the Peromyscus aztecus species group occur at mid to high elevations in several mountain ranges in the highlands of Middle America (Mexico and Central America), a region...

Colored de Bruijn Graphs and the Genome Halving Problem

Breakpoint graph analysis is a key algorithmic technique in studies of genome rearrangements. However, breakpoint graphs are defined only for genomes without duplicated genes, t...

&lt;title&gt;Data acquisition systems for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey&lt;/title&gt;

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will image {Pi} steradians about the north galactic cap in five filters, and acquire one million spectra using a dedicated 2.5 meter telescop...
