VisCoSe: visualization and comparison of consensus sequences

Comparison of Three-Dimensional Double-Echo Steady-State Sequence with Routine Two-Dimensional Sequence in the Depiction of Knee Cartilage

Introduction: There are some routine two-dimensional sequences, including short tau inversion recovery (STIR), T2-weighted fast-spin echo (T2W-FSE), and proton-density fast spin-echo for diagnosing osteoarthritis and lesions of the knee cartilage. However, these sequences have some disadvantages, such as long scan time, inadequate spatial resolution, and suboptimal tis...

An Investigation of the Intervention of Zimmerman & Hutchin’s (2003) Information Synthesization vs. Visualization on Iranian Undergraduate ESP Accounting Learners’ Reading Comprehension Achievement Across Gender

This study investigated the intervention of Zimmerman & Hutchins (2003) Information Synthesization vs. Visualization on Iranian Undergraduate ESP (Accounting) learners’ reading comprehension achievement across gender. 120 ESP University students majoring in Accounting in Iran participated in this study and were assigned to 4 homogeneous groups, 30 male and 30 female students in experimental gro...

Molecular typing of avian Escherichia coli isolates by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequences-polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR)

BACKGROUND: Colibacillosis is one of the most economically important diseases of poultry worldwide. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to examine the clonal relatedness and typing of 95 avian Escherichia coli isolates by ERIC-PCR. METHODS: Sixty-three E. coli isolates from two common manifestations of colibacillosis (yolk sac infection and colisepticemia) and 32 isolates from feces of apparen...

Investigation of the Effects of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles and Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes on Conductivity and Surface Morphology of Polyester-Viscose Fabric

Critical comparison of consensus methods for molecular sequences.

Consensus methods are recognized as valuable tools for data analysis, especially when some sort of data aggregation is desired. Although consensus methods for sequences play a vital role in molecular biology, researchers pay little heed to the features and limitations of such methods, and so there are risks that criteria for constructing consensus sequences will be misused or misunderstood. To ...
