Unexpected cross-species contamination in genome sequencing projects
The raw data from a genome sequencing project sometimes contains DNA from contaminating organisms, which may be introduced during sample collection or sequence preparation. In some instances, these contaminants remain in the sequence even after assembly and deposition of the genome into public databases. As a result, searches of these databases may yield erroneous and confusing results. We used...
متن کاملNeutron Contamination Unexpected Dose in Varian LINAC
Introduction: Neutron contamination is very harmful for the patients receiving radiation therapy due to the high relative biological effect of neutrons. Medical linear accelerators head are made up of materials with high atomic numbers, and High-energy photons interaction with heavy materials can produce neutron contamination. In this study, neutron equivalent dose, neutron spe...
متن کاملEstimation of allele frequencies from high-coverage genome-sequencing projects.
A new generation of high-throughput sequencing strategies will soon lead to the acquisition of high-coverage genomic profiles of hundreds to thousands of individuals within species, generating unprecedented levels of information on the frequencies of nucleotides segregating at individual sites. However, because these new technologies are error prone and yield uneven coverage of alleles in diplo...
متن کاملGap statistics for whole genome shotgun DNA sequencing projects
MOTIVATION Investigators utilize gap estimates for DNA sequencing projects. Standard theories assume sequences are independently and identically distributed, leading to appreciable under-prediction of gaps. RESULTS Using a statistical scaling factor and data from 20 representative whole genome shotgun projects, we construct regression equations that relate coverage to a normalized gap measure...
متن کاملConceptualizing unexpected events in IT projects
Unexpected events occur during many IT projects and need to be adequately addressed so that their potentially negative impacts can be mitigated. While various tools and methodologies are available to help IT project teams better manage projects, our knowledge of unexpected events remains limited. To better understand such events, their impacts, and how project teams can respond to them, it is i...
