16S rRNA gene profiling has recently been boosted by the development of pyrosequencing methods. A common analysis is to group pyrosequences into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs),...
Background: The most common application for the next-generation sequencing technologies is resequencing, where short reads from the genome of an individual are aligned to a refere...

The within-species genetic variation due to recombinations leads to a mosaic-like structure of DNA. This structure can be modeled, e.g. by parsing sample sequences of current DNA w...
3D scene understanding is key for the success of applications such as autonomous driving and robot navigation. However, existing approaches either produce a mild level of understa...
