Comparison between different biological sequences is a key step in bioinformatics when analyzing similarities of and phylogenetic relationships. A method graphically representing known as Chaos Game Representation (CGR) has achieved many applications the studies bioinformatics. The issue application CGR to extract useful features possible from CGR. Initially, was applied DNA sequences, but this...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We compared the early cytogenetic response (CgR) to a combination of imatinib mesylate (Glivec, Novartis Pharma, Basel, Switzerland) and a pegylated form of human recombinant interferon-alpha2b (pegIFN-alpha2b, PegIntron, Schering Plough, Kenilworth, New Jersey, USA) with the relative risk, either according to Sokal's or Euro scoring systems. DESIGN AND METHODS Seven...

CGR is an effective method for visualizing any structural features if it is given as a sequence of elements [1,2] analyzed by the genomic signature appears as a powerful tool for investigating the mechanisms of DNA maintenance from which the DNA structure results. It would be necessary to understand the patterns they exhibit and to be able to interpret them in a biologically meaningful way [3]....

Cover crops can produce ecosystem services during the fallow period, as reducing nitrate leaching and producing green manure. Crop growth rate (CGR) and crop nitrogen acquisition rate (CNR) can be used as two indicators of the ability of cover crops to produce these services in agrosystems. We used leaf functional traits to characterise the growth strategies of 36 cover crops as an approach to ...

some pattern (information) in the DNA sequence Chaos game representation (CGR) of DNA (Goldman 1993). Goldman (1993) interpreted the sequences and linked protein sequences CGRs in a biologically meaningful way. All points from genomes was proposed by Jeffrey (1990) plotted within a quadrant must corresponding to suban d Yu et al. (2004), respectively. In this sequences of the DNA sequence that ...

In a previous study in dogs, the early removal of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane (2 weeks after placement) showed histomorphometric results (of new bone, cementum and periodontal ligament) similar to that obtained with membrane removal at 4 weeks after placement. This study evaluated the influence of early removal of an ePTFE membrane on the treatment of Class II furcation de...

The aim of this study was to compare magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) findings with those of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) or conventional gastrointestinal radiography (CGR) in pediatric patients with small bowel Crohn's disease. A total of 55 cases of small bowel Crohn's disease that were diagnosed through clinical, laboratory, surgical and histopathological findings were reviewed. Prior ...
