concatenator: sequence data matrices handling made easy

Data Exploration Made Easy

A comprehensive graphical analysis approach to perform data exploration utilizing the latest capabilities available in SAS systems are presented here. This ® practical approach integrates graphical analysis tools available in SAS systems and provides step-wise instructions to perform data exploration quickly without writing SAS program statements or using menu interface by running the SAS macro...

Multicenter data acquisition made easy

BACKGROUND The process for data collection in multicenter trials may be troublesome and expensive. We report our experience with the spreadsheet function in Googledocs for this purpose. METHODS In Googledocs the data manager creates a form similar to the paper case record form, which will function as a decentral data entry module. When the forms are submitted, they are presented in a spreadsh...

FeatureExtract—extraction of sequence annotation made easy

Work on a large number of biological problems benefits tremendously from having an easy way to access the annotation of DNA sequence features, such as intron/exon structure, the contents of promoter regions and the location of other genes in upsteam and downstream regions. For example, taking the placement of introns within a gene into account can help in a phylogenetic analysis of homologous g...

Concurrent Programming Made Easy

The task of programming concurrent systems is substantially more difficult than the task of programming sequential systems with respect to both correctness and efficiency. In this paper we describe a constraint-based methodology for writing concurrent applications. A system is modeled as: (a) a set of processes containing a sequence of “markers” denoting the processes points of interest; and (b...
