Algorithms in comparative genomics
The field of comparative genomics is abundant with problems of interest to computer scientists. In this thesis, the author presents solutions to three contemporary problems: obtaining better alignments for phylogeny reconstruction, identifying related RNA sequences in genomes, and ranking Single …

Comparative genomics of Bifidobacteria
… in the adaptation to the gut environment. This comparative genomic analysis also determined a pool of ortholog functions used to infer their phylogenetic relationship, thereby providing a more robust approach compared to that based solely on the16S rRNA-encoding gene. The genome sequence of an …

General Equilibrium Comparative Statics
I derive testable implications of general equilibrium theory. I consider a sequence of pure exchange economies, each characterized by agents' initial endowments and market clearing prices. I find necessary and sufficient conditions on prices and endowments that ensure data are consistent with …

Comparative urban performance simulation
… urban performance analysis methods to comparative urban master planning. Using bottom-up physics-based urban simulation algorithms, the author established a repeatable methodology for computationally analyzing and comparing urban environments. Conditions simulated included, individual …

Comparative particulate sampling methods
At present, there are several methods of determining the mass concentration of suspended particulate matter in ambient air. Most of these methods, including the EPA reference method, require manual filtering and weighing of the collected sample. This is both costly and time-consuming and is subject …

Steganalysis Techniques: A Comparative Study
… the biggest challenges. This report presents a comparative study of three steganalysis techniques. We investigated and compared the performances of each technique in the detection of embedding methods considered. Based on the results of our analysis, we provide information as to which specific …

Subset comparatives as comparative quantifiers
… and presents a novel analysis of the "subset comparative" construction (e.g. John saw more phonologists than just Mary; John drank more than just coffee). I build on Hackl (2000) and Alxatib (2013)'s analyses of comparative quantifiers (more than three) to develop a unified account for both. …

Mammalian comparative genomics and epigenomics
… processes that have acted on the genome using comparative sequence analysis. We generate high quality draft genome sequences of the chimpanzee, the dog and the opossum. These species share a last common ancestor with humans approximately 6 million, 80 million and 140 million years ago, …
