Cordblood-Based High-Throughput Screening for Deafness Gene of 646 Newborns in Jinan Area of China [PDF]
ObjectivesInfants with slight/mild or late-onset hearing impairment might be missed in universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS). We identified the mutation hot spot of common deaf gene in the newborns in Jinan area population by screening the mutation ...

Statistical distributions of sequencing by synthesis with probabilistic nucleotide incorporation [PDF]
Sequencing by synthesis is used in many next-generation DNA sequencing technologies. Some of the technologies, especially those exploring the principle of single-molecule sequencing, allow incomplete nucleotide incorporation in each cycle. We derive statistical distributions for sequencing by synthesis by taking into account the possibility that ...

DUDE-Seq: Fast, flexible, and robust denoising for targeted amplicon sequencing. [PDF]
We consider the correction of errors from nucleotide sequences produced by next-generation targeted amplicon sequencing. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms can provide a great deal of sequencing data thanks to their high throughput, but the ...

Relationship between promoter sequence and its strength in gene expression [PDF]
In this study, through various tests one theoretical model is presented to describe the relationship between promoter strength and its nucleotide sequence. Our analysis shows that, promoter strength is greatly influenced by nucleotide groups with three adjacent nucleotides in its sequence.

Structural representations of DNA regulatory substrates can enhance sequence-based algorithms by associating functional sequence variants [PDF]
The nucleotide sequence representation of DNA can be inadequate for resolving protein-DNA binding sites and regulatory substrates, such as those involved in gene expression and horizontal gene transfer. Considering that sequence-like representations are algorithmically very useful, here we fused over 60 currently available DNA physicochemical and ...
