The Atlas Genome Assembly System
Atlas is a suite of programs developed for assembly of genomes by a “combined approach” that uses DNA sequence reads from both BACs and whole-genome shotgun (WGS) libraries. The...

Constraints on Warm Dark Matter from Cosmological Reionization
We study the constraints that high-redshift structure formation in the universe places on warm dark matter (WDM) dominated cosmological models. We modify the extended Press-Sche...
Coordinately and differentially mutable activities of torpedo, the Drosophila melanogaster homolog of the vertebrate EGF receptor gene.
Abstract The torpedo (top) locus of Drosophila encodes the fruitfly homolog of the vertebrate epidermal growth factor receptor gene and the neu proto-oncogene. We have isolated ...
Transformation of sensory organ identity by ectopic expression of Cut in Drosophila.
The loss of cut activity results in a change in neural identity in the peripheral nervous system so that the neurons and support cells of external sensory (es) organs are transf...
REBUS‐PLS: A response‐based procedure for detecting unit segments in PLS path modelling
Abstract Structural equation models (SEMs) make it possible to estimate the causal relationships, defined according to a theoretical model, linking two or more latent complex co...
On the Quality of Spectral Separators
Computing graph separators is an important step in many graph algorithms. A popular technique for finding separators involves spectral methods. However, there has not been much ...
A supermatrix-based molecular phylogeny of the family Drosophilidae
Summary The genus Drosophila is diverse and heterogeneous and contains a large number of easy-to-rear species, so it is an attractive subject for comparative studies. The abilit...
Antigenic and Immunogenic Characterization of Recombinant Baculovirus-Expressed Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Spike Protein: Implication for Vaccine Design
ABSTRACT The spike (S) glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) mediates the receptor interaction and immune recognition and is considered a majo...
Effects of the sound speed of quintessence on the microwave background and large scale structure
We consider how quintessence models in which the sound speed differs from the speed of light and varies with time affect the cosmic microwave background and the fluctuation powe...
Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activities of Two Aromatic Plants:<i>Origanum majorana</i>L. and<i>O. compactum</i>Benth.
ABSTRACT The essential oils obtained by steam distillation of Origanum compactum and O. majorana, which were grown in Morocco, were examined by gas chromatography to determine t...
