Noise sensitivity signatures for model selection [PDF]
Presents a method for calculating the "noise sensitivity signature" of a learning algorithm which is based on scrambling the output classes of various fractions of the training data. This signature can be used to indicate a good (or bad) match between the complexity of the classifier and the complexity of the data and hence to improve the predictive ...

Genomics of Adaptations in Ungulates
Ungulates are a group of hoofed animals that have long interacted with humans as essential sources of food, labor, clothing, and transportation. These consist of domesticated, feral, and wild species raised in a wide range of habitats and biomes.

Uninformative polymorphisms bias genome scans for signatures of selection [PDF]
With the establishment of high-throughput sequencing technologies and new methods for rapid and extensive single nucleotide (SNP) discovery, marker-based genome scans in search of signatures of divergent selection between populations occupying ...

Selecting reference signatures for on-line signature verification [PDF]
Personal stability in signing in one of the key factors for high-accuracy signature verification. In this paper the local stability of a dynamic signature is measured. The acccuracy of an on-line signature verification system is improved by selecting, among a set of specimens available, the subset of reference signatures which is near-optimal for ...

Genetic diversity and selection signatures in sheep breeds. [PDF]
Natural and artificial selection in domesticated animals can cause specific changes in genomic regions known as selection signatures. Our study used the integrated haplotype score (iHS) and Tajima’s D tests within non-overlapping windows of 100 kb to ...

Genome-wide analysis of selection on the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in West African populations of differing infection endemicity. [PDF]
Locally varying selection on pathogens may be due to differences in drug pressure, host immunity, transmission opportunities between hosts, or the intensity of between-genotype competition within hosts. Highly recombining populations of the human malaria

YODA: selecting signature oligonucleotides [PDF]
Selecting oligonucleotide probes for use in microarray design, and other applications requiring signature sequences, involves identifying sequences which will bind strongly to their intended target, while binding only weakly (or preferably, not at all) to non-target sequences which may be present in the hybridization reaction.
