Vertebrate (cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein) and Drosophila (prolonged depolarization afterpotential is not apparent [PINTA]) proteins with a CRAL-TRIO domain transport retinal-based chromophores that bind to opsin proteins and are necessary for phototransduction. The CRAL-TRIO domain gene family is composed of genes that encode proteins with a common N-terminal structural domain. Althou...

Entity-resolution (also known as deduplication, record linkage, and reference reconciliation, among others) was one of the original motivating applications [6] for the Trio system, which has been under development at Stanford over the past several years. • Entity-resolution is the process of determining when multiple data records are likely to represent the same real-world entity, and possibly ...

Motivation: Most DNA sequence in diploid organisms is found in two copies, one contributed by the mother and the other by the father. The high density of differences between the maternally and paternally contributed sequences (heterozygous sites) in some organisms makes de novo genome assembly very challenging, even for algorithms specifically designed to deal with these cases. Therefore, vario...
