Cancer Statistics, 2021

Abstract Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States and compiles the most recent data on population‐based c...

Theory of games and economic behavior

This is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based. What began more than sixty years ago as a modest proposal that a mathematician and an economist write a shor...

Cancer statistics, 2018

Abstract Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths that will occur in the United States and compiles the most recent data on ca...

MAFFT: a novel method for rapid multiple sequence alignment based on fast Fourier transform

A multiple sequence alignment program, MAFFT, has been developed. The CPU time is drastically reduced as compared with existing methods. MAFFT includes two novel techniques. (i)...

A Programmable Dual-RNA–Guided DNA Endonuclease in Adaptive Bacterial Immunity

Ditching Invading DNA Bacteria and archaea protect themselves from invasive foreign nucleic acids through an RNA-mediated adaptive immune system called CRISPR (clustered regular...

Object recognition from local scale-invariant features

An object recognition system has been developed that uses a new class of local image features. The features are invariant to image scaling, translation, and rotation, and partia...

Fast, scalable generation of high‐quality protein multiple sequence alignments using Clustal Omega

Mastering the game of Go with deep neural networks and tree search

UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detection

Abstract Motivation: Chimeric DNA sequences often form during polymerase chain reaction amplification, especially when sequencing single regions (e.g. 16S rRNA or fungal Interna...

FLASH: fast length adjustment of short reads to improve genome assemblies

Abstract Motivation: Next-generation sequencing technologies generate very large numbers of short reads. Even with very deep genome coverage, short read lengths cause problems i...

Minimap2: pairwise alignment for nucleotide sequences

Abstract Motivation Recent advances in sequencing technologies promise ultra-long reads of ∼100 kb in average, full-length mRNA or cDNA reads in high throughput and genomic cont...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Large Language Models in Representing Textual Descriptions of Geometry and Spatial Relations (Short Paper)

This research focuses on assessing the ability of large language models (LLMs) in representing geometries and their spatial relations. We utilize LLMs including GPT-2 and BERT t...
