Most people with even a small interest in opera have heard of the late Luciano Pavarotti, often called the "King of the High C's." He gained this informal title by genuine achievement, which was followed by the fame that came from well-attended performances that reached still larger audiences through broadcasts and recordings. In truth it was not so much the high C's that made him famous. For o...

The are: is an "old man," "coming up" from ground, "covered," covered "robe." Though there are many angelic divine encounters in...

Since the read lengths of high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies are short, de novo assembly which plays significant roles in many applications remains a great challenge. Most of the state-of-the-art approaches base on de Bruijn graph strategy and overlap-layout strategy. However, these approaches which depend on k-mers or read overlaps do not fully utilize information of paired-end and ...

As plenty of nonmodel plants are without genomic sequences, the combination of molecular technologies and the next generation sequencing (NGS) platform has led to a new approach to study the genetic variations of these plants. Software GATK, SOAPsnp, samtools, and others are often used to deal with the NGS data. In this study, BLAST was applied to call SNPs from 16 mixed functional gene's seque...
