The ability to perform permutations of large data sets in place reduces the amount of necessary available disk storage. The simplest way to perform a permutation often is to read ...
A (0,1)-matrix satisfies the consecutive ones property if there exists a column permutation such that the ones in each row of the resulting matrix are consecutive. Booth and Lueke...
Background: Ranked gene lists from microarray experiments are usually analysed by assigning significance to predefined gene categories, e.g., based on functional annotations. Tool...
