Optical Whole-Genome Restriction Mapping as a Tool for Rapidly Distinguishing and Identifying Bacterial Contaminants in Clinical Samples [PDF]
Introduction: Optical restriction genome mapping is a technology in which a genome is linearized on a surface and digested with specific restriction enzymes, giving an arrangement of the genome with gaps whose order and size are unique for a given ...

Epitope Mapping and MHC Restriction of Next-Generation Tuberculosis Vaccine Antigens in Mice [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted T cells play essential roles in tuberculosis (TB) immunity. Characterizing the antigen targets, dominant epitopes, and MHC restriction of protective T-cell responses is ...

Optical mapping as a routine tool for bacterial genome sequence finishing [PDF]
Background In sequencing the genomes of two Xenorhabdus species, we encountered a large number of sequence repeats and assembly anomalies that stalled finishing efforts.

Mapping of class II HLA restriction of SepSecS-specific CD4 T-cell epitopes in autoimmune hepatitis [PDF]
Background & Aims: Autoreactive CD4 T cells, which recognize liver self-antigens such as SepSecS, are potentially main drivers of the chronic inflammatory response during autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).

On the restriction of the Fourier transform to polynomial curves [PDF]
We prove a Fourier restriction theorem on curves parametrised by the mapping P(t) = (P1(t),..., Pn(t)), where each of the P1,..., Pn is a real-valued polynomial and t belongs to an interval on which each of the P1,..., Pn "resembles" a ...

Antigenic and Genetic Characterization of Twenty-six Strains of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (Subgroup A) Isolated During Three Consecutive Outbreaks in Havana City, Cuba [PDF]
Twenty-six human respiratory syncytial virus strains (subgroup A) isolated from three outbreaks in Havana City during the period 1994/95, 1995/96 and 1996/97 were analyzed to determine their antigenic and genetic relationships. Analyses were performed by

Rapid SNP discovery and genetic mapping using sequenced RAD markers. [PDF]
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery and genotyping are essential to genetic mapping. There remains a need for a simple, inexpensive platform that allows high-density SNP discovery and genotyping in large populations.

A database of restriction maps to expand the utility of bacterial artificial chromosomes
While Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes libraries were once a key resource for the genomic community, they have been obviated, for sequencing purposes, by long-read technologies.

On $F$-Weak Contraction of Generalized Multivalued Integral Type Mappings with $alpha $-admissible [PDF]
The purpose of this work is to investigate the existence of fixed points of some mappings in fixed point theory by combining some important concepts which are F-weak contractions, multivalued mappings, integral transformations and α-admissible mappings ...

The use of the hypervariable P8 region of trnL(UAA) intron for identification of orchid species: Evidence from restriction site polymorphism analysis. [PDF]
The P8 stem-loop region of the trnL intron, which is known to be hypervariable in size with multiple repeat motifs and created difficulties in alignment, is always excluded in phylogenetic as well as barcode analyses.
