Full-length transcriptome assembly from RNA-Seq data without a reference genome

Generalized expectancies for internal versus external control of reinforcement.

<i>Ab initio</i>molecular-dynamics simulation of the liquid-metal–amorphous-semiconductor transition in germanium

We present ab initio quantum-mechanical molecular-dynamics simulations of the liquid-metal--amorphous-semiconductor transition in Ge. Our simulations are based on (a) finite-tem...

HTSeq—a Python framework to work with high-throughput sequencing data

Abstract Motivation: A large choice of tools exists for many standard tasks in the analysis of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data. However, once a project deviates from stand...

Atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces: Applications of the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation

Generalized gradient approximations (GGA’s) seek to improve upon the accuracy of the local-spin-density (LSD) approximation in electronic-structure calculations. Perdew and Wang...

Detecting the number of clusters of individuals using the software <scp>structure</scp>: a simulation study

Abstract The identification of genetically homogeneous groups of individuals is a long standing issue in population genetics. A recent Bayesian algorithm implemented in the soft...

SERVQUAL: A multiple-Item Scale for measuring consumer perceptions of service quality

This paper describes the development of a 22-item instrument (called SERVQUAL) for assessing customer perceptions of service quality in service and retailing organizations. Afte...

Comparing the Areas under Two or More Correlated Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves: A Nonparametric Approach

Methods of evaluating and comparing the performance of diagnostic tests are of increasing importance as new tests are developed and marketed. When a test is based on an observed...

Reproducible, interactive, scalable and extensible microbiome data science using QIIME 2

The meaning and use of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on pa...

BLAST+: architecture and applications

Abstract Background Sequence similarity searching is a very important bioinformatics task. While Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) outperforms exact methods through its ...

Introducing mothur: Open-Source, Platform-Independent, Community-Supported Software for Describing and Comparing Microbial Communities

ABSTRACT mothur aims to be a comprehensive software package that allows users to use a single piece of software to analyze community sequence data. It builds upon previous tools...
