<tt>BLAT</tt>—The <tt>BLAST</tt>-Like Alignment Tool
Analyzing vertebrate genomes requires rapid mRNA/DNA and cross-species protein alignments. A new tool, BLAT , is more accurate and 500 times faster than popular existing tools f...
Double-slit photoelectron interference in strong-field ionization of the neon dimer
Wave-particle duality is an inherent peculiarity of the quantum world. The double-slit experiment has been frequently used for understanding different aspects of this fundamenta...
<i>Gaia</i> Data Release 2
Context. We present the second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, consisting of astrometry, photometry, radial velocities, and information on astrophysical parameters and variability,...
Accurate Coulomb-fitting basis sets for H to Rn
A series of auxiliary basis sets to fit Coulomb potentials for the elements H to Rn (except lanthanides) is presented. For each element only one auxiliary basis set is needed to...
Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools
1 Introduction 1.1 Language Processors 1.2 The Structure of a Compiler 1.3 The Evolution of Programming Languages 1.4 The Science of Building a Compiler 1.5 Applications of Comp...
An integrated map of genetic variation from 1,092 human genomes
By characterizing the geographic and functional spectrum of human genetic variation, the 1000 Genomes Project aims to build a resource to help to understand the genetic contribu...
Powering the planet: Chemical challenges in solar energy utilization
Global energy consumption is projected to increase, even in the face of substantial declines in energy intensity, at least 2-fold by midcentury relative to the present because o...
