Recent Advances in EMG Pattern Recognition for Prosthetic Control

Sequence-specific sequence comparison using pairwise statistical significance.

There has been a deluge of biological sequence data in the public domain, which makes sequence comparison one of the most fundamental computational problems in bioinformatics. The biologists routinely use pairwise alignment programs to identify similar, or more specifically, related sequences (having common ancestor). It is a well-known fact that almost everything in bioinformatics depends on t...

Statistical Methods for Establishing Personalized Treatment Rules in Oncology

The process for using statistical inference to establish personalized treatment strategies requires specific techniques for data-analysis that optimize the combination of competing therapies with candidate genetic features and characteristics of the patient and disease. A wide variety of methods have been developed. However, heretofore the usefulness of these recent advances has not been fully ...

Pharmaceutical Advances and Proteomics Researches

Proteomics enables understanding the composition, structure, function and interactions of the entire protein complement of a cell, a tissue, or an organism under exactly defined conditions. Some factors such as stress or drug effects will change the protein pattern and cause the present or absence of a protein or gradual variation in abundances. Changes in the proteome provide a snapshot of the...
