UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detection
Abstract Motivation: Chimeric DNA sequences often form during polymerase chain reaction amplification, especially when sequencing single regions (e.g. 16S rRNA or fungal Interna...
Tissue-based map of the human proteome
Protein expression across human tissues Sequencing the human genome gave new insights into human biology and disease. However, the ultimate goal is to understand the dynamic exp...
Nonlinear Dimensionality Reduction by Locally Linear Embedding
Many areas of science depend on exploratory data analysis and visualization. The need to analyze large amounts of multivariate data raises the fundamental problem of dimensional...
Improved Survival with Ipilimumab in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma
