DNA, as all molecules in the cell, is constantly agitated through thermal energy and bombardment from water and neighboring masses. Through super-resolution tracking of DNA in live cells and simulation of the statistical mechanics of polymers we are building intuition into the function of DNA loops. We have discovered that the normal kinetics of replication fork progression allows time for ther...

Bloom filters

Bloom filters are used for answering queries on set membership. In this data structure, the whole element is not stored at the hashed address. Only a few bits are set in an array. Given a set S of cardinality n, we store it in an array of m bits using k hash functions h1(), . . . , hk(). Initially, all the cells in the array are set to 0. Then, for each element in the set, x ∈ S, for each 1 ≤ i...
