Two Proteins for the Price of One: The Design of Maximally Compressed Coding Sequences
Abstract. The emerging field of synthetic biology moves beyond conventional genetic manipulation to construct novel life forms which do not originate in nature. We explore the pro...

MTRAP: Pairwise sequence alignment algorithm by a new measure based on transition probability between two consecutive pairs of r
Background: Sequence alignment is one of the most important techniques to analyze biological systems. It is also true that the alignment is not complete and we have to develop it ...

Slepian-Wolf Coding for Nonuniform Sources Using Turbo Codes
The recently proposed turbo-binning scheme is shown to be both efficient and optimal for uniform source Slepian-Wolf coding problem [1]. This paper studies the case when sources a...

Approximation Schemes for Sequential Posted Pricing in Multi-unit Auctions
We design algorithms for computing approximately revenue-maximizing sequential postedpricing mechanisms (SPM) in K-unit auctions, in a standard Bayesian model. A seller has K copi...
