REPORT ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR TRANSLATIONAL BIOINFORMATICS: A SYMPOSIUM ON GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING FOR ARCHIVAL TISSUES

Report on emerging technologies for translational bioinformatics: a symposium on gene expression profiling for archival tissues

Abstract Background With over 20 million formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples archived each year in the United States alone, archival tissues remain a vast and under-utilized resource in the genomic study of cancer.Technologies have recently been introduced for whole-transcriptome amplification and microarray analysis of degraded

Haste makes waste: accelerated molt adversely affects the expression of melanin-based and depigmented plumage ornaments in house sparrows.

Many animals display colorful signals in their integument which convey information about the quality of their bearer.Theoretically, these ornaments incur differential production and/or maintenance costs that enforce their honesty.However, the proximate mechanisms of production costs are poorly understood and contentious in cases of non-carotenoid-b

Performance Evaluation of the Highway Radar Occupancy Grid

The quality of environmental perception is crucial for automated vehicle capabilities.In order to ensure the required Soprano Strings accuracy, the occupancy grid mapping algorithm is often utilised to fuse data from multiple sensors.This paper focuses on the radar-based occupancy grid for highway applications and describes how to measure effective
