Fast and accurate alignment of barcoded reads
… While technologies developed by Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore accomplish this goal by producing physically longer reads, several other technologies take an alternate route by instead producing "barcoded reads", including 10x Genomics' Chromium platform and Illumina's TruSeq …

Galerkin Approximations of General Delay Differential Equations with Multiple Discrete or Distributed Delays
… applications in fields such as climate dynamics, biosciences, engineering, and control theory. In contrast to ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the phase space associated even with a scalar DDE is infinite-dimensional. Oftentimes, it is desirable to have low-dimensional ODE systems that …

Adaptive multiscale biological signal processing
… factors in the advancements in medicine and biosciences recorded in the recent past. It is a fact that the instruments used for biological signal and image recording, like any other acquisition system, are affected by non-idealities which, by different degrees, negatively impact on the …

Coleções de material humano para uso em pesquisa: controvérsias e redes na construção da regulamentação de biobancos e biorrepositórios no Brasil
… an object of scrutiny and experimentation, the biosciences has mobilized issues and actors who are not only scientific and technical, but also political, legal and ethical. The overlapping of these spheres seems to interfere with prospects that are based on dualities, such as nature vs. culture, …

Computational Methods for Haplotype-aware De Novo Genome Assembly from Long Reads
… sequencing technologies such as Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore Technologies, have greatly improved haplotype phasing and genome assembly because of the tremendous advantages in terms of read length. Nevertheless, the vast majority of existing long-read haplotype phasing or genome …

Host-intrinsic factors determine anti-tumor efficacy of exercise in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
… this project, using C57BL/6 mice from Taconic Biosciences (Tac) and Jackson Laboratories (Jax), we established a pre-clinical mouse model of orthotopic PDAC with multiple exercise interventions. We demonstrated that gut microbiome differences between Tac and Jax result in differential exercise …

Mathematical modelling of drug metabolism : using <em>in silico</em> techniques to investigate the cytochrome P450 enzyme system in hepatic reductase null mice
… and compared with drug data provided by CXR Biosciences. These models ranged from solely ODE (for comparison to experimental data) to multiscale cellular automata and spatial models when analysing the dynamics on the tumour and cellular level. Once these models were developed the parametric …

Seismic Site Characterization for the Deep Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) at Kimballton, Virginia
… research in physics, geosciences, biosciences and engineering. The proposed laboratory will extend to a depth of about 2200 meters and will consist of research facilities for long term study. To date, eight sites in North America have been proposed to host DUSEL. One of these sites, …

Solid-State NMR Studies of Polymeric and Biomembranes
… particular emphasis on uses in polymeric and biosciences. First, dynamics investigations on two polymers will be discussed: (1) disulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s /poly(ethylene glycol) blends (BPS-20_PEG), which are under development as chlorine-resistant reverse osmosis (RO) membrane …

Germline and somatic mutational processes across the Tree of Life
Pacific Biosciences' circular consensus sequencing (CCS) employs a highly processive, engineered DNA polymerase to repeatedly sequence both the forward and reverse strands of a circular DNA template. By leveraging the redundancy of multiple passes and the complementarity of the strands, a consensus …

Patterns and causes of population subdivision in the marine environment
An accurate assessment of population genetic subdivision is crucial in making informed decisions for the management and conservation of marine resources. However, obtaining a precise assessment is particularly challenging since population subdivision results from the interaction of many biological …

Eddy-covariance measurements as a tool for ecological and hydrological studies on the Tibetan Plateau
… measurements with a LI-COR 7500 (LI-COR Biosciences) and a Krypton Hygrometer KH20 (Campbell Sci. Ltd.). This comparison revealed that in general an application of both sensors for an estimation of turbulent fluxes is possible but they can not be used for measurements of absolute humidity …

Prevalence of the gene lsr2 among the genus Mycobacterium and an investigation into changes in biofilm formation when inactivating lsr2 regulated genes in Mycobacterium smegmatis
Mycobacterium smegmatis is a non-pathogenic model organism commonly used to study the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. M. smegmatis has a rough colony morphology and is capable of forming biofilms, however, when the DNA-regulating protein Lsr2 is inactivated the bacteria forms a smooth …

A Geographic Mosaic of Speciation in Eurosta solidaginis
Ecological speciation occurs when divergent selection in different habitats creates strong selection for reproductive isolation which counteracts the homogenizing effects of gene flow between populations using those different habitats. Multiple divergent selection pressures can affect isolation and …

Long read mapping at scale: Algorithms and applications
… read sequencing technologies by Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). Long reads are attractive because they narrow the scale gap between sizes of genomes and sizes of sequenced reads, with the promise of avoiding assembly errors and repeat resolution …
