Background: Conserved gene clusters are groups of genes that are located close to one another in the genomes of several species. They tend to code for proteins that have a functio...
Background: When analyzing microarray data a primary objective is often to find differentially expressed genes. With empirical Bayes and penalized t-tests the sample variances are...
Background: Finishing is the process of improving the quality and utility of draft genome sequences generated by shotgun sequencing and computational assembly. Finishing can invol...
