Background: Correlations between polymorphic markers and observed phenotypes provide the basis for mapping traits in quantitative genetics. When the phenotype is gene expression, ...
Protein sequence alignments are more reliable the shorter the evolutionary distance. Here, we align distantly related proteins using many closely spaced intermediate sequences as ...
There has been considerable recent interest in the use of haplotype structure to aid in the design and analysis of case-control association studies searching for genetic predictors...
Database queries often take the form of correlated SQL queries. Correlation refers to the use of values from the outer query block to compute the inner subquery. This is a conveni...
We revisit the classical chase procedure, studying its properties as well as its applicability to standard database problems. We settle (in the negative) the open problem of decid...
