Abstract. DNA copy number is the number of replicates of a contiguous segment of DNA on the genome. Copy number alteration (CNA) is a genetic abnormality in which the number of the...
This paper examines some of the rich structure of the syntenic distance model of evolutionary distance, introduced by Ferretti et al. (1996). The syntenic distance between two gen...
Our major effort in this reporting period comprised functional genomic studies of key genes for carbon metabolite and nodulation/nitrogen fixation in Sinorhizobium meliloti, compar...
Background: In biological sequence analysis, position specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) are widely used to represent sequence motifs in nucleotide as well as amino acid sequences....
