HSEGHMM: HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL-BASED ALLELE-SPECIFIC COPY NUMBER ALTERATION ANALYSIS ACCOUNTING FOR HYPERSEGMENTATION

hsegHMM: hidden Markov model-based allele-specific copy number alteration analysis accounting for hypersegmentation

Abstract Background Somatic copy number alternation (SCNA) is a common feature of the cancer genome and is associated with cancer etiology and prognosis.The allele-specific SCNA analysis of a tumor sample aims to identify the allele-specific copy numbers of both alleles, adjusting for the ploidy and the tumor purity.Next generation sequencing platf

A transient helix in the disordered region of dynein light intermediate chain links the motor to structurally diverse adaptors for cargo transport.

All animal cells use the motor cytoplasmic dynein 1 (dynein) to transport diverse cargo toward microtubule minus ends and to organize and position microtubule arrays such as the mitotic spindle.Cargo-specific adaptors engage with dynein to recruit and activate the motor, but the molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.Here, we use struc

EMISSION DUE TO MOTOR GASOLINE FUEL IN RECIPROCATING LYCOMING O-320 ENGINE IN COMPARISON TO AVIATION GASOLINE FUEL

Piston-powered aircrafts rely on 100 low lead (100LL) Aviation Gasoline (AVGAS) for safe operation.AVGAS has high levels of Tetraethyl Lead (TEL).TEL is an additive which is added Tub Bearing in aviation fuels to assist in anti-knocking.The main reason for continuation of TEL as an additive in AVGAS is because aircraft engines are prone to engines
