We introduce Sashimi plots, a quantitative multi-sample visualization of mRNA sequencing reads aligned to gene annotations. Sashimi plots are made using alignments (stored in the SAM/BAM format) and gene model annotations (in GFF format), which can be custom-made by the user or obtained from databases such as Ensembl or UCSC. We describe two implementations of Sashimi plots: (1) a stand-alone c...

The ongoing convergence between TV and the Internet leads traditional broadcast companies to publish their content on the Internet. Interactive digital TV platforms, which support rich interactive multimedia applications, are targeted ever more frequently. New consumption platforms of this kind are predominantly built on Internet technologies, yet they have their own specific capabilities and l...

Taxonomic papers often show a wide diversity in style and format when published. This is due in part to the nature of the organisms, but more so to the absence of specific guidelines for preparation and publication of such papers. Presently many problems and frustrations are faced by authors, reviewers, and editors because of the lack of a taxonomic guide or format. Consequently, the Systematic...

The Geopriv Location Object introduced by the Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO), RFC 4119, defines a basic XML format for carrying geographical information of a presentity. This document defines PIDF-LO extensions to convey information about moving objects. Elements are defined that enable expression of spatial orientation, speed, and heading of the presentity. Informat...

Although there have been no major revisions of the National Bureau of Standards Handbook of Mathematical Functions [1] since its first publication in 1964, it continues to be widely used by the mathematical and scientific community. As a result, NIST is engaged in a large scale project to update and expand the handbook and disseminate it in digital format on the World Wide Web. This electronic ...

The recent publication of public sector information (PSI) data sets has brought to the attention of the scientific community the redundant presence of location based context. At the same time it stresses the inadequacy of current Linked Data services for exploiting the semantics of such contextual dimensions for easing entity retrieval and browsing. In this paper describes our approach for supp...
