Background: Identifying syntenic regions, i.e., blocks of genes or other markers with evolutionary conserved order, and quantifying evolutionary relatedness between genomes in ter...
Background: It has been repeatedly observed that gene order is rapidly lost in prokaryotic genomes. However, persistent synteny blocks are found when comparing more or less distan...
The layered design of the Linux operating system hides the liveness of file system data from the underlying block layers. This lack of liveness information prevents the storage sy...
Abstract--The ANR project SPaCIFY develops a domainspecific programming environment, Synoptic, to engineer embedded software for space applications. Synoptic is an Eclipse-based mo...
Critical to the understanding of the genetic basis for complex diseases is the modeling of human variation. Most of this variation can be characterized by single nucleotide polymo...
