Background: Understanding the community structure of microbes is typically accomplished by sequencing 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) genes. These community data can be represented b...
Background: Bacterial typing schemes based on the sequences of genes encoding surface antigens require databases that provide a uniform, curated, and widely accepted nomenclature ...
We present an algorithm for computing generators for the ideal of algebraic relations among sequences which are given by homogeneous linear recurrence equations with constant coef...
We answer a question posed by Lampert and Slater [7]. Consider a sequence of real numbers qn in the interval [0, 1] defined by q0 = 0, q1 = 1, and, for n 1, qn+1 equals an averag...
