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: Pathways provide topical descriptions of cellular circuitry. Comparing analogous pathways reveals intricate insights into individual functional differences among speci...
Many database applications have the emerging need to support fuzzy queries that ask for strings that are similar to a given string, such as “name similar to smith” and “tele...
In multi-instance learning, the training examples are bags composed of instances without labels, and the task is to predict the labels of unseen bags through analyzing the training...
Gene clustering based on microarray data provides useful functional information to the working biologists. Many current gene-clustering algorithms rely on Euclidean-based distance...
