Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is rich in tandem repeats, and this is helpful in studying its karyotypic evolution. Some tandem repeats have not been assembled into the wheat genome sequence.

Median inverse problem and approximating the number of $k$-median inverses of a permutation
We introduce the "Median Inverse Problem" for metric spaces. In particular, having a permutation $\pi$ in the symmetric group $S_n$ (endowed with the breakpoint distance), we study the set of all $k$-subsets $\{x_1,...,x_k\}\subset S_n$ for which $\pi ...

Microhomology-mediated mechanisms underlie non-recurrent disease-causing microdeletions of the FOXL2 gene or its regulatory domain [PDF]
Genomic disorders are often caused by recurrent copy number variations (CNVs), with nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) as the underlying mechanism.

Background Thalassemia, a common autosomal hereditary blood disorder worldwide, mainly contains α- and β-thalassemia. The α-globin gene triplicates allele is harmless for carriers, but aggravates the phenotype of β-thalassemia.

Lazy Probabilistic Model Checking without Determinisation [PDF]
The bottleneck in the quantitative analysis of Markov chains and Markov decision processes against specifications given in LTL or as some form of nondeterministic B\"uchi automata is the inclusion of a determinisation step of the automaton under ...

Relative growth of the semi-terrestrial crab Pachygrapsus marmoratus: an information-theory approach
The patterns of allometric growth of the grapsid crab Pachygrapsus marmoratus were investigated with an information-theoretic approach. This approach is beneficial, more robust, and may reveal more information than the classical approaches (e.g ...

Norovirus Recombination in ORF1/ORF2 Overlap
Norovirus (NoV) genogroups I and II (GI and GII) are now recognized as the predominant worldwide cause of outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis in humans. Three recombinant NoV GII isolates were identified and characterized, 2 of which are unrelated to any ...

On pairwise distances and median score of three genomes under DCJ [PDF]
In comparative genomics, the rearrangement distance between two genomes (equal the minimal number of genome rearrangements required to transform them into a single genome) is often used for measuring their evolutionary remoteness.

Breakpoints for intravenously used cephalosporins in Enterobacteriaceae—EUCAST and CLSI breakpoints [PDF]
It has long been acknowledged that the cephalosporin breakpoints used in most European countries and the USA fail to detect many or most extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in Enterobacteriaceae and that all ESBLs are clinically significant. Therefore, microbiological laboratories have undertaken not only regular cephalosporin susceptibility ...
