Distributed Problem Solving Environment Dedicated to DNA Sequence Annotation

Genomic sequence analysis is a task using techniques coming from different fields in order to extract biologically relevant objects (genes, regulatory signals...) from rough DNA sequences. Analysis methods, coming from domains like statistics, sequence alignment or pattern matching, have been developed and regrouped into program libraries. These libraries aim at helping biologists to manipulate...

Generating Precondition Expressions in Instructional Text

This study employs a knowledge intensive corpus analysis to identify the elements of the communicative context which can be used to determine the appropriate lexical and grammatical form of instructional texts. IMAGENE, an instructional text generation system based on this analysis: is presented, particularly with reference to its expression of precondition relations.

Rhetorical Relations In Instructional Text Generation

The IMAGENE project has studied the expression of actions in the context of instructional text generation. The approach employs a rather traditional interpretation of Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) (Mann and Thompson, 1989), using it both as a descriptive tool and as a constructive tool (Mann and Thompson, 1987). No explicit representation of and reasoning about intentions was employed. In t...

IMAGEne I: clustering and ranking of I.M.A.G.E. cDNA clones corresponding to known genes

MOTIVATION To enhance the usefulness of the I.M.A.G.E. Consortium (Lennon et al., 1996, Genomics, 33, 151-152) cDNA clone collection by directed analysis and organization of their associated Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), thus enabling effective mining of the immense amounts of public cDNA information. RESULTS This paper introduces the IMAGEne suite of tools, which clusters ESTs around known...
