New GOLD guidelines – How do we use them?

The new concussion in sport guidelines are here. But how do we get them out there?

*This table describes the situation for countries where most sporting participation opportunities are provided through community-based or recreational sporting organisations. It is acknowledged that some countries, like the USA, have sports delivery systems that are more likely to be linked to high schools or university colleges and so some of the opportunities for intervention may be different...

Predicted values: how should we use them?

What are production diseases, and how do we manage them?

The term "Production Diseases" referred traditionally to those diseases induced by management practices, metabolic diseases are typical examples. Recently, the term "Production related diseases" has been enhanced to include other traits, such as infertility, and diseases such as mastitis and lameness that might involve infectious agents but exacerbated by nutritional or managemental factors. Th...

Patterns in Biomedical Data-how Do We Find Them?

Given the exponential growth of biomedical data, researchers are faced with numerous challenges in extracting and interpreting information from these large, high-dimensional, incomplete, and often noisy data. To facilitate addressing this growing concern, the "Patterns in Biomedical Data-How do we find them?" session of the 2017 Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) is devoted to exploring pa...

Homoeologs: What Are They and How Do We Infer Them?

The evolutionary history of nearly all flowering plants includes a polyploidization event. Homologous genes resulting from allopolyploidy are commonly referred to as 'homoeologs', although this term has not always been used precisely or consistently in the literature. With several allopolyploid genome sequencing projects under way, there is a pressing need for computational methods for homoeolo...
