A unique capability of Endonuclease IV in discrimination of mismatches neighboring a natural abasic site in DNA strands has been demonstrated, which enables genotyping of SNPs with high discrimination factors and differentiation of as low as 0.1-0.01% of target DNA strands from a large background of single-base different interfering strands.

In applications such as medical statistics and genetics, we encounter situations where a large number of highly correlated predictors explain a response. For example, the response may be a disease indicator and the predictors may be treatment indicators or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Constructing a good predictive model in such cases is well studied. Less well understood is how to r...

The literature on epistasis describes various methods to detect epistatic interactions and to classify different types of epistasis. Reconstructability analysis (RA) has recently been used to detect epistasis in genomic data. This paper shows that RA offers a classification of types of epistasis at three levels of resolution (variable-based models without loops, variable-based models with loops...
