Background: Accurate sequence alignments are essential for homology searches and for building three-dimensional structural models of proteins. Since structure is better conserved ...
Background: It has been repeatedly observed that gene order is rapidly lost in prokaryotic genomes. However, persistent synteny blocks are found when comparing more or less distan...
Background: Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a feature extraction method that has the property of intuitive part-based representation of the original features. This uniqu...
Background: Recently, a large number of methods for the analysis of microarray data have been proposed but there are few comparisons of their relative performances. By using so-ca...
The last few years, there has been an extensive body of literature in data warehousing applications that primarily focuses on basket-type (transactional) data, common in retail in...
