A Pangenome Approach for Discerning Species-Unique Gene Markers for Identifications of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Correct identifications of isolates and strains of the Mitis-Group of the genus Streptococcus are particularly difficult, due to high genetic similarity, resulting from horizontal gene transfer and homologous recombination, and unreliable phenotypic and ...

FPAENet: Pneumonia Detection Network Based on Feature Pyramid Attention Enhancement [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Automatic pneumonia Detection based on deep learning has increasing clinical value. Although the existing Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and its variants have already achieved some great successes, their detection accuracies for pneumonia lesions in medical images are still unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a pneumonia detection network based on

Streptococcus pneumoniae biofilm formation and dispersion during colonization and disease

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a common colonizer of the human nasopharynx. Despite a low rate of invasive disease, the high prevalence of colonization results in millions of infections and over one million deaths per year, mostly in ...

DCA for genome-wide epistasis analysis: the statistical genetics perspective [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA) is a now widely used method to leverage statistical information from many similar biological systems to draw meaningful conclusions on each system separately. DCA has been applied with great success to sequences of homologous proteins, and also more recently to whole-genome population-wide sequencing data.
