New diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis: Guidelines for research protocols

Detecting Subtle Sequence Signals: a Gibbs Sampling Strategy for Multiple Alignment

A wealth of protein and DNA sequence data is being generated by genome projects and other sequencing efforts. A crucial barrier to deciphering these sequences and understanding ...

The Molecular Biology of Coronaviruses

Coronaviruses are large, enveloped RNA viruses of both medical and veterinary importance. Interest in this viral family has intensified in the past few years as a result of the ...

Gibbs motif sampling: Detection of bacterial outer membrane protein repeats

Abstract The detection and alignment of locally conserved regions (motifs) in multiple sequences can provide insight into protein structure, function, and evolution. A new Gibbs...

From Healthy Aging to Early Alzheimer's Disease: <i>In Vivo</i> Detection of Entorhinal Cortex Atrophy

A bstract : Using quantitative structural MRI protocols, we examined the effects of age on alterations in entorhinal cortex (EC) volume. The left EC was found to be smaller than...

Comparison of ribotyping and restriction enzyme analysis using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis for distinguishing Legionella pneumophila isolates obtained during a nosocomial outbreak

Because of the ubiquity of Legionella isolates in aquatic habitats, epidemiologic evaluation of Legionella pneumophila strains is important in the investigation and subsequent c...
