Identification of cis-regulatory motifs has long been a hotspot in the study of alternative splicing. We propose a two-step approach: we first identify k-mer seed motifs by testing...
Abstract. We investigate the problem of inferring contiguous ancestral regions (CARs) of the genome of the last common ancestor of all extant amniotes, based on the currently seque...
A tanglegram is a pair of trees on the same set of leaves with matching leaves in the two trees joined by an edge. Tanglegrams are widely used in biology – to compare evolutiona...

There are many methods for assessing the quality of microarray data, but little guidance regarding what to do when defective data is identified. Depending on the scientific questio...
Abstract. Accurate inference of local ancestry from whole-genome genetic variation data is critical for understanding the history of admixed human populations and detecting SNPs as...
Abstract. DNA copy number is the number of replicates of a contiguous segment of DNA on the genome. Copy number alteration (CNA) is a genetic abnormality in which the number of the...
KIM, JIHYE. Mining of Cis-Regulatory Motifs Associated with Tissue-Specific Alternative Splicing. (Under the direction of Steffen Heber). Alternative splicing (AS) is an important...

Cheng and Church proposed a greedy deletion-addition algorithm to find a given number of k biclusters, whose mean squared residues (MSRs) are below certain thresholds and the miss...

Recent techniques increase the amount of our knowledge of interactions between proteins. To filter, interpret and organize this data, many authors have provided tools for querying...
Abstract. We demonstrate a set-level approach to the integration of multiple platform gene expression data for predictive classification and show its utility for boosting classi...
