Genetically Engineered Transvestites Reveal Novel Mating Genes in Budding Yeast [PDF]
, 2014 Haploid budding yeast has two mating types, defined by the alleles of the MAT locus, MATa and MATα. Two haploid cells of opposite mating types mate by signaling to each other using reciprocal pheromones and receptors, polarizing and growing towards each ...

Mean Field Approach for a Statistical Mechanical Model of Proteins
, 2003 We study the thermodynamical properties of a topology-based model proposed by Galzitskaya and Finkelstein for the description of protein folding. We devise and test three different mean-field approaches for the model, that simplify the treatment without ...

(Semi-)Predictive Discretization During Model Selection [PDF]
, 2003 In this paper, we present an approach to discretizing multivariate continuous data while learning the structure of a graphical model. We derive the joint scoring function from the principle of predictive accuracy, which inherently ensures the optimal
