Model selection and sensitivity analysis for sequence pattern models
In this article we propose a maximal a posteriori (MAP) criterion for model selection in the motif discovery problem and investigate conditions under which the MAP asymptotically gives a correct prediction of model size. We also investigate robustness of

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data
This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using

Finding the here in where: Keatley’s Winthropping in missing persons and no-body homicide cases
No-body homicide cases are typically difficult to investigate, owing to the lack of forensics and leads. Researchers in the fields of forensics, criminology, and psychology have attempted to provide assistance to these investigations through their ...

Outbreak tracking of Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) using partial NS1 gene sequencing
Background Aleutian Mink Disease (AMD) is an infectious disease of mink (Neovison vison) and globally a major cause of economic losses in mink farming. The disease is caused by Aleutian Mink Disease Virus (AMDV) that belongs to the genus Amdoparvovirus ...

Analysis of the Sequence Preference of Saporin by Deep Sequencing
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA:adenosine glycosidases that inactivate eukaryotic ribosomes by depurinating the sarcin-ricin loop (SRL) in 28S rRNA. The GAGA sequence at the top of the SRL or at the top of a hairpin loop is assumed to be their target motif.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Classifying Genomic Sequences by Sequence Feature Analysis
Abstract Traditional sequence analysis depends on sequence alignment. In this study, we analyzed various functional regions of the human genome based on sequence features, including word frequency, dinucleotide relative abundance, and base-base correlation.
