Background: Identification of homologous regions or conserved syntenies across genomes is one crucial step in comparative genomics. This task is usually performed by genome alignm...
Background: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is widely being used for population genetics, forensic DNA fingerprinting and clinical disease association studies. The recent past has uncov...
The responses of cortical neurons are often characterized by measuring their spectro-temporal receptive fields (strfs). The strf of a cell can be thought of as a representation of...

Background: Most known eukaryotic genomes contain mobile copied elements called transposable elements. In some species, these elements account for the majority of the genome seque...
Background: Identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) for both additive and epistatic effects raises the statistical issue of selecting variables from a large number of candidates...
