Background: Rybp (Ring1 and YY1 binding protein) is a zinc finger protein which interacts with the members of the mammalian polycomb complexes. Previously we have shown that Rybp is critical for early embryogenesis and that haploinsufficiency of Rybp in a subset of embryos causes failure of neural tube closure. Here we investigated the requirement for Rybp in ocular development using four in vi...

distances Different distances between two given vectors Description These functions are used for calculating different distances between two given vectors. Thus, L1.dist calculates the L1 distance, cosin.dist calculates the cosine distance, euclidian.dist computes the Euclidian distance, and rank.cor.dist computes the rank correlation distance. The vectors have to have same length. When using r...
