Equal Rights for Swampersons

Equal opportunity for all.

By sequencing tens of millions of TCRa transcripts from naive mouse CD8 T cells, Genolet et al (2012) show that the TCRa repertoire is at least as diverse as the TCRb repertoire. This overturns a long held view in the field that recombination of the Tcra locus occurs in a co-ordinate sequential bidirectional manner that relies on proximity of Va and Ja gene segments. The observation that rearra...

Signal Separation For Equal

We introduce undercomplete independent component analysis (uICA), a method for extracting K signals from M K mixtures of N M source signals. The mixtures x = (x 1 ; : : :; x M) T are formed from a linear combination of the independent source signals s = (s 1 ; : : :; s N) T using an M N mixing matrix A, so that x = As. For the case N = K = M, Bell and Sejnowski Bell and Sejnowski, 1995] showed ...
