The document describes the Gemoda algorithm for discovering motifs (patterns) in biomolecular data sequences. Gemoda is designed to be exhaustive in finding all maximal motifs and have descriptive power by using a generic, context-dependent definition of similarity. It proceeds in three steps: comparison of all pairwise windows to create a similarity graph, clustering similar windows into elementary motifs, and convolving the motifs to find longer, maximal motifs. Gemoda can be applied to problems like discovering protein domains, solving motif discovery challenges, and finding conserved structures in protein structures.

Management of the axilla after neoadjuvant chemotherapyDr. Haytham Fayed
油
This document discusses surgical management of the axilla after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. It provides background on how axillary lymph node dissection was previously the standard approach but is now being reevaluated. Sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may accurately stage the axilla and spare some patients from axillary lymph node dissection if the sentinel nodes are negative, though identification rates are slightly lower than without chemotherapy. The document concludes that current evidence suggests an algorithm involving axillary ultrasound before and sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy to guide need for further axillary lymph node dissection.
The document discusses the management of the axilla in breast cancer from a radiation oncologist's perspective. It covers how to stage the axilla through physical exam, imaging, or biopsy. For clinically node-negative patients, sentinel lymph node biopsy is standard, while clinically positive nodes may require lymph node dissection. Ongoing trials are exploring omitting further axillary treatment for some patients with positive nodes after neoadjuvant therapy. The conclusion emphasizes that axilla management remains controversial but aims for individualized treatment based on tumor characteristics and response to therapy.

CLIQUE is a grid-based clustering algorithm that identifies dense units in subspaces of high-dimensional data to provide efficient clustering. It works by first partitioning each attribute dimension into equal intervals and then the data space into rectangular grid cells. It finds dense units in subspaces like planes and intersections them to identify dense units in higher dimensions. These dense units are grouped into clusters. CLIQUE scales linearly with size of data and number of dimensions and automatically identifies relevant subspaces for clustering. However, the clustering accuracy may be reduced for simplicity.

MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to Extract Microsatellites on Y Chrom...IJERD Editor
油
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), also known as Microsatellites, have been extensively used as
molecular markers due to their abundance and high degree of polymorphism. The nucleotide sequences of
polymorphic forms of the same gene should be 99.9% identical. So, Microsatellites extraction from the Gene is
crucial. However, Microsatellites repeat count is compared, if they differ largely, he has some disorder. The Y
chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males
have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and
development. Several Microsatellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of
giga bytes and tera bytes in size. The proposed tool MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to extract
Microsatellites on Y Chromosome can extract both Perfect as well as Imperfect Microsatellites from large
data sets of human genome Y. The proposed system uses string matching with sliding window approach to
locate Microsatellites and extracts them.

SAGE- Serial Analysis of Gene ExpressionAashish Patel
油
Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is a method to quantify gene expression in cells. It involves extracting short sequence tags from mRNA transcripts and concatenating them for efficient sequencing. This allows simultaneous analysis of thousands of transcripts. SAGE provides quantitative gene expression data without prior knowledge of genes and can identify differentially expressed genes between cell types or conditions. While powerful, it requires substantial sequencing and computational analysis of large datasets.
This document discusses genomic repeats and techniques for finding repeats and matching patterns in DNA sequences. It covers using hash tables to store and retrieve DNA sequences, building keyword trees to represent sets of sequences, and constructing suffix trees to efficiently find all occurrences of a pattern in a string. Suffix trees allow pattern matching to be performed in linear time compared to quadratic time for a naive approach. The document also introduces the problem of approximate pattern matching and heuristic search algorithms used to quickly find similar matches in large genomes.
The document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 1 of the book, including:
1) An evolutionary innovation is a new trait that introduces something revolutionary in evolution. Genotype space refers to all possible genotypes, and genotype networks are sets of genotypes with the same phenotype connected by single mutations.
2) The chapter explores how populations can explore genotype networks to discover new phenotypes. Different definitions of genotype and phenotype can be used depending on what is being studied, such as metabolic reactions representing the genotype.
3) Examples are given of genotype networks and how genotypes near each other in space may have similar phenotypes. The concepts are important for understanding how novel phenotypes emerge through evolution.
The intellectual property landscape of the human genomeKyle Jensen

A simple method for incorporating sequence information into directed evolutio...Kyle Jensen
油
This document describes a simple method for linking genetic sequences to phenotypes in directed evolution experiments. It involves:
1) Creating a library of promoter variants using error-prone PCR of a P Ltet promoter. This resulted in 69 unique promoter sequences with an 800-fold range of activity levels.
2) Analyzing each sequence position using a binomial distribution to identify positions that are significantly correlated with high or low activity. This revealed 7 positions correlated with promoter activity.
3) The method can be applied generally to analyze correlations between mutations at any position and multiple phenotypic classes using a generalized probability calculation. This allows linking genetic variations to particular phenotypes.

22. (ppGpp)ase example: the comparison phase shows many regions of local similarity Dots indicate 50aa windows that are pairwise similar Streaks indicate regions that will probably be convolved into a maximal motif
23. (ppGpp)ase example: the clustering phase shows elementary motifs conserved between all 8 enzyme sequences
24. (ppGpp)ase example: the final motifs match the known rela_spot domain and the HD domain from NCBI's conserved domain database Maximal motif (one of three, ~100 aa in length) This particular cluster represents the first set of 8 50aa windows in the above motif. Results are insensitive to noise

38. Gemoda may be used with nucleotide sequences to find regulatory motifs The LD-motif problem: an example for the board >AACTG >AATTA >AATTG Look for motifs of at least 3 nucletides with a Hamming distance between any window of 3 of 1 or less given: 1 = AAC 2 = ACT 3 = CTG 4 = AAT 5 = ATT 6 = TTA 7 = AAT 8 = ATT 9 = TTG We get the following windows:
39. A simple natural language example Choosing a window length of L=4 gives 7 unique windows in the three sequences Seq 1: motif Seq 2: motor Seq 3: potion
40. Here we show the comparison phase using two different similarity metrics X's and dotted lines Identify matrix: 他 O's and solid lines Consonant/vowel matrix: 他 Windows 1: moti 2: otif 3: moto 4: otor 5: poti 6: otio 7: tion Input sequences Seq 1: motif Seq 2: motor Seq 3: potion Similarity graph
41. The clustered windows (elementary motifs) are different depending on the similarity function Clustering phase Clique-finding
