The system uses the multiple intermediate sequence search method in which query and target sequences are linked by intermediate sequences gathered by PSI-BLAST search. By applying the system to 129 complete genomes, 43.8% on average o...

The annual modulation of the recoil spectrum observed in an underground detector is well known as the main signature of a possible WIMP signal. The GENIUS-TF experiment, under construction in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, can search for the annual modulation of the Dark Matter signal using 40 kg of naked-Ge detectors in liquid nitrogen. Starting from a set of data simulated under the hypo...
