Standardized Metadata for Human Pathogen/Vector Genomic Sequences
High throughput sequencing has accelerated the determination of genome sequences for thousands of human infectious disease pathogens and dozens of their vectors. The scale and scope of these data are enabling genotype-phenotype association studies to identify genetic determinants of pathogen virulence and drug/insecticide resistance, and phylogenetic studies to track the origin and spread of di...
متن کاملStandardized Metadata for Education: a Status Report
This paper starts with a brief background to worldwide standardization activities in the field of educational technologies. It then focuses on the specific area of metadata, and introduces the two most relevant approaches there: IEEE LTSC LOM and DC-Education. We review how different communities adopt and support educational metadata for their constituencies. This paper can be considered as a f...
متن کاملHuman genomic sequences that inhibit splicing.
Mammalian genes are characterized by relatively small exons surrounded by variable lengths of intronic sequence. Sequences similar to the splice signals that define the 5' and 3' boundaries of these exons are also present in abundance throughout the surrounding introns. What causes the real sites to be distinguished from the multitude of pseudosites in pre-mRNA is unclear. Much progress has bee...
متن کاملThe Metadata Coverage Index (MCI): A standardized metric for quantifying database metadata richness
Variability in the extent of the descriptions of data ('metadata') held in public repositories forces users to assess the quality of records individually, which rapidly becomes impractical. The scoring of records on the richness of their description provides a simple, objective proxy measure for quality that enables filtering that supports downstream analysis. Pivotally, such descriptions shoul...
متن کاملComputational prediction of methylation status in human genomic sequences.
Epigenetic effects in mammals depend largely on heritable genomic methylation patterns. We describe a computational pattern recognition method that is used to predict the methylation landscape of human brain DNA. This method can be applied both to CpG islands and to non-CpG island regions. It computes the methylation propensity for an 800-bp region centered on a CpG dinucleotide based on specif...
