Abstract Background An algorithm for the analysis of Affymetrix Genechips is presented.This algorithm, referred to as the Inverse Langmuir Method (ILM), estimates the binding of transcripts to complementary probes using DNA/RNA hybridization free energies, and the hybridization between partially complementary transcripts in solution using RNA/RNA f
INTRODUCTION: Chlamydia infection is associated with debilitating human diseases including trachoma, pneumonia, coronary heart disease and urogenital diseases.Serotypes of C.trachomatis show a fair correlation with the group of diseases they cause, and their distribution follows a well-described geographic pattern.Serotype A, a trachoma-associated
Intracranial neoplasia is frequently encountered in dogs.After a presumptive diagnosis of intracranial neoplasia is established based on history, clinical signs and advanced imaging characteristics, the decision to treat and which treatment to choose must be considered.The objective of this study is to report survival times (ST) for dogs with intra
Paddy soil has different morphology and pedogenic characteristics compared to dry land, due to the influence of inundation during several months in a year.Puddling and drying that occurs in turns (redox Nitric Oxide cycle) in paddy soil can lead to the formation of concretions or rusty Fe and Mn.The main purpose of this study was to understand the
