R/BHC: FAST BAYESIAN HIERARCHICAL CLUSTERING FOR MICROARRAY DATA

R/BHC: fast Bayesian hierarchical clustering for microarray data

Abstract Background Although the use of clustering methods has rapidly become one of the standard computational approaches in the literature of microarray gene expression data analysis, little attention has been paid to uncertainty in the results obtained.Results We present an R/Bioconductor port of a fast novel Quickstrikes algorithm for Bayesian

The Poly I:C maternal immune stimulation model shows unique patterns of brain metabolism, morphometry, and plasticity in female rats

Introduction: Prenatal infections are associated with an increased risk of the onset of schizophrenia.Rodent models of maternal immune stimulation Cleaner (MIS) have been extensively used in preclinical studies.However, many of these studies only include males, omitting pathophysiological features unique to females.The aim of this study is to chara

Genomic exploration of the fermented meat isolate Staphylococcus shinii IMDO-S216 with a focus on competitiveness-enhancing secondary metabolites

Abstract Background Staphylococcus shinii appears as an umbrella species encompassing several strains of Staphylococcus pseudoxylosus and Staphylococcus xylosus.Given its phylogenetic closeness to S.xylosus, S.shinii can be found in similar ecological niches, including the microbiota of fermented meats where the species may contribute to colour and

Evaluation of the relation between T-Lymphocytes (CD4 + ve and CD8 + ve) and pemphigus vulgaris pathogenesis and severity

Background: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune bullous disease involving both the skin and mucus membranes.Infiltrating CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes may have a vital role in its pathogenesis.The autoimmune bullous skin disorder intensity score (ABSIS) was proposed for clinical evaluation and scoring of PV patients.Aims and Objectives: This wor
