BACKGROUND Complex network theory based methods and the emergence of "Big Data" have reshaped the terrain of investigating structure-activity relationships of molecules. This change gave rise to new methods which need to face an important challenge, namely: how to restructure a large molecular dataset into a network that best serves the purpose of the subsequent analyses. With special focus on ...

a set of 29 persimmon genotypes were characterized using morphological characters and rapd markers. some fruit traits of: fresh weight, fruit length and diameter, firmness, fruit juice ph, ta, tss, flavor index, fruit skin and flesh color, seededness, leaf length and width were evaluated. analysis of variance for the investigated characters showed that genotypes were significantly different. re...

rapd markers were employed to determine the diversity among 29 genotypes and cultivars of sour and duke cherry as well as a mahaleb tree genotype as an outgroup. a number of 100 random primers were examined for pcr reactions on the template dnas extracted from leaves, of which 17 primers produced polymorphic bands. these 17 selected rapd primers produced 233 bands, among which, 214 were polymor...

In the current research, we aim to define a new form of the similarity coefficient to compare the resemblance grade of two Gaussian density functions. We aim to assess the method utility on a theoretical model. The density functions are stated for a biological marker “survival length”, observed in three groups of patients, suffering from a hypothetical disease. The first group consists of patie...
