Calling Cards For DNA-Binding Proteins
… To fill this gap, I developed transposon "Calling Cards" for DNA-binding proteins. I endowed DNA binding proteins with the ability to direct the insertion of a transposon into the genome near to where they bind. The transposon becomes a "Calling Card" that marks the visit of a DNA-binding …

SNP auto-calling using artificial neural networks
In recent years feedforward artificial neural networks (ANN) and their training algorithms have become an effective methodology for the construction of nonlinear systems that solve the statistical problem of classification. The ability of ANNs to solve this problem is highly germane to making …

Computational methods for genomic variant calling and analysis
… for association with phenotypic traits. Variant calling refers to the process of detecting genetic polymorphisms based on analysis of genome sequence data output by NGS technology. The projects described here investigate these analysis methods. Chapter One reviews variant calling and its …

The dark side of calling: a partial test of the work as calling theory (WCT) using the veterinarian occupational well-being study (VOWS)
Although research on the concept of calling has blossomed in the last several decades, less is known about how and when having a calling may lead to less desirable outcomes (i.e., the so-called "dark side" of calling). Recently, the Work as Calling Theory (WCT - Duffy, Dik, Douglass, England, & …

Joint base-calling of two DNA sequences with factor graphs
… molecule. In this thesis, we focus on the base-calling stage, during which base order is estimated from data collected through electrophoresis and florescence detection. In particular, we examine the possibility of jointly base-calling two superposed DNA sequences by applying the sum-product …
