Background: At intermediate stages of genome assembly projects, when a number of contigs have been generated and their validity needs to be verified, it is desirable to align thes...
Background: There are many methods for analyzing microarray data that group together genes having similar patterns of expression over all conditions tested. However, in many insta...
