Greiner, Russell, Wishart, David, Eisner, Roman, Lu, Z., Lu, Paul, Macdonell, Cam, Poulin, B., Szafron, Duane, Anvik, J.
Technical report TR03-14. Identifying the destination or localization of proteins is key to understanding their function and facilitating their purification. A number of existing computational prediction methods are based on sequence analysis. However, these methods are limited in scope, accuracy...

The field of biomedicine is reeling from “information overload”. Indeed, biomedical researchers find it almost impossible to stay current with published literature due to the vast amounts of data being generated and published. As a result, they are turning to text mining. Over the past two...

Ojeda, Dario I., Dhillon, Braham, Tsui, Clement K. M., Hamelin, Richard C.
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapidly becoming the standard markers in population genomics studies; however, their use in nonmodel organisms is limited due to the lack of cost-effective approaches to uncover genome-wide variation, and the large number of individuals needed in the...

Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by involuntary weight loss, wasting of skeletal muscle driven by reduced food intake and abnormal metabolism. Cachexia has a negative impact on quality of life, response to chemotherapy and survival. Cachexia research is undeveloped with...

Researchers conduct association studies to discover biomarkers in order to gain new biological insight on complex diseases and phenotypes. Although most researchers have intuitions about what defines a biomarker and how to assess the results of an association study, there is neither a formal...

Abou-Moustafa, Karim T., Kozyrskyj, Anita, Guttman, David, Scott, James, Yasui, Yutaka
Entropy measures of probability distributions are widely used measures in ecology, biology, genetics, and in other fields, to quantify species diversity of a community. Unfortunately, entropy–based diversity indices, or diversity indices for short, suffer from three problems. First, when...

Transcriptome and Proteome Based Survey to Identify Aluminum-Responsive Genes in Roots of Arabidopsis Thaliana
DownloadSpring 2010
Aluminum (Al)stress is a major limitation to crop productivity on acidic soils. To help understand the cellular mechanisms underlying the toxicity and resistance of plants to Al, this thesis involved a large-scale, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of roots of Arabidopsis thaliana and reports...

Transcriptomic changes in ruminal tissue induced by the periparturient transition in dairy cows
Download2014
Steele, Michael A., AlZahal, Ousama, Dionissopoulos, Louis, McBride, Brian W., Matthews, James C.
To understand how the capacity for fat metabolism (uptake, synthesis, modification) changes in rumen epithelia immediately before and after onset of lactation in dairy cows, rumen fluid Short Chain Fatty Acid (SCFA) concentrations and mRNA expression profiles of rumen epithelia was determined in...
