Big mitogen-activated kinase 1 (BMK1) or extracellular signal-regulated kinase-5 (ERK5) has recently been identified as a new member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase fami...

Explorations in Cognitive Dissonance

Fitting Discrete Probability Distributions to Evolutionary Events

The assumptions underlying the use of the Poisson distribution are essentially that the probability of an event is small but nearly identical for all occurrences and that the oc...

Extending assembly of short DNA sequences to handle error

Abstract Inexpensive de novo genome sequencing, particularly in organisms with small genomes, is now possible using several new sequencing technologies. Some of these technologi...
