Phyloproteomic Analysis of 11780 Six-Residue-Long Motifs Occurrences

Phyloproteomic Analysis of 11780 Six-Residue-Long Motifs Occurrences

How is it possible to find good traits for phylogenetic reconstructions? Here, we present a new phyloproteomic criterion that is an occurrence of simple motifs which can be imprints of evolution history. We studied the occurrences of 11780 six-residue-long motifs consisting of two randomly located amino acids in 97 eukaryotic and 25 bacterial proteomes. For all eukaryotic proteomes, with the ex...

Long Quadratic Residue Codes

A long standing problem has been to develop “good” binary linear block codes, C, to be used for error-correction. The length of the block is denoted n and the dimension of the code is denoted k. So in this notation C ⊆ GF (2) is a k-dimensional subspace. Another important parameter is the smallest weight of any non-zero codeword, d. This is related to error-correction because C can correct [d−1...

Statistical Analysis of Sleep Spindle Occurrences

Spindles - a hallmark of stage II sleep - are a transient oscillatory phenomenon in the EEG believed to reflect thalamocortical activity contributing to unresponsiveness during sleep. Currently spindles are often classified into two classes: fast spindles, with a frequency of around 14 Hz, occurring in the centro-parietal region; and slow spindles, with a frequency of around 12 Hz, prevalent in...
