ITS primers with enhanced specificity for basidiomycetes ‐ application to the identification of mycorrhizae and rusts
Abstract We have designed two taxon‐selective primers for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit. These primers, ITS1‐F and ITS4‐B, we...
A modified particle swarm optimizer
Evolutionary computation techniques, genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies and genetic programming are motivated by the evolution of nature. A population of individuals, w...
The basics of epithelial-mesenchymal transition
The origins of the mesenchymal cells participating in tissue repair and pathological processes, notably tissue fibrosis, tumor invasiveness, and metastasis, are poorly understoo...
<i>Ab initio</i> effective core potentials for molecular calculations. Potentials for main group elements Na to Bi
A consistent set of ab initio effective core potentials (ECP) has been generated for the main group elements from Na to Bi using the procedure originally developed by Kahn. The ...
Mendelian randomization with invalid instruments: effect estimation and bias detection through Egger regression
An adaption of Egger regression (which we call MR-Egger) can detect some violations of the standard instrumental variable assumptions, and provide an effect estimate which is no...
Complex heatmaps reveal patterns and correlations in multidimensional genomic data
Abstract Summary: Parallel heatmaps with carefully designed annotation graphics are powerful for efficient visualization of patterns and relationships among high dimensional gen...
