Background The use of novel algorithmic techniques is pivotal to many important problems in life science. For example the sequencing of the human genome [1] would not have been possible without advanced assembly algorithms. However, owing to the high speed of technological progress and the urgent need for…

Today massive amounts of sequenced metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data from different ecological niches and environmental locations are available. Scientific progress depends critically on methods that allow extracting useful information from the various types of sequence data. Here, we will first discuss types of…

'Florent Meyniel' 'Mariano Sigman' 'Liping Wang' 'Santiago Figueira' 'Sergio Romano' 'Stanislas Dehaene' 'Blake A. Richards'] Working memory capacity can be improved by recoding the memorized information in a condensed form. Here, we tested the theory that human adults encode binary sequences of stimuli in memory using…

'SAMAN AMARASINGHE' ''] The scope and scale of biological data are increasing at an exponential rate, as technologies like next-generation sequencing are becoming radically cheaper and more prevalent. Over the last two decades, the cost of sequencing a genome has dropped from $100 million to nearly $100-a factor of…

Transfer (i.e., the application of a learned skill in a novel context) is an important and desirable outcome of motor skill learning. While much research has been devoted to understanding transfer of explicit skills the mechanisms of skill transfer after incidental learning remain poorly understood. The aim of this…

'Lee H Pratt' 'Marie-Michèle Cordonnier-Pratt'] Background Processing raw DNA sequence data is an especially challenging task for relatively small laboratories and core facilities that produce as many as 5000 or more DNA sequences per week from multiple projects in widely differing species. To meet this challenge, we…

Background High-throughput automated sequencing has enabled an exponential growth rate of sequencing data. This requires increasing sequence quality and reliability in order to avoid database contamination with artefactual sequences. The arrival of pyrosequencing enhances this problem and necessitates customisable…

The work showed that the integrated suite of software tools for detecting criminals using DNA databases has achieved the overall objective by providing a working platform for sequence analysis. The work also demonstrated that by integrating BLAST and FASTA (two widely used and freely available algorithms), plus an…

for the generation of explicit sequence knowledge? Authors: ['Sabine Schwager' 'Dennis Rünger' 'Robert Gaschler' 'Peter A. Frensch'] In incidental sequence learning situations, there is often a number of participants who can report the task-inherent sequential regularity after training. Two kinds of mechanisms for the…

'Khairi Reda' 'Sarath Chandra Janga'] Background Direct-sequencing technologies, such as Oxford Nanopore’s, are delivering long RNA reads with great efficacy and convenience. These technologies afford an ability to detect post-transcriptional modifications at a single-molecule resolution, promising new insights into…

'Francesco Sella'] Number order processing is thought to be characterised by a reverse distance effect whereby consecutive sequences (e.g., 1-2-3) are processed faster than non-consecutive sequences (e.g., 1-3-5). However, there is accumulating evidence that the reverse distance effect is not consistently observed. In…

'Francesco Sella'] Both adults and children are slower at judging the ordinality of non-consecutive sequences (e.g., 1-3-5) than consecutive sequences (e.g., 1-2-3). It has been suggested that the processing of non-consecutive sequences is slower because it conflicts with the intuition that only count-list sequences…

Understanding whether a sequence is presented in an order or not (i.e., ordinality) is a robust predictor of adults’ arithmetic performance, but the mechanisms underlying this skill and its relationship with mathematics remain unclear. In this study, we examined (a) the cognitive strategies involved in ordinality…

'Zoe Kourtzi'] Title: Highlights 1. • Exposure to temporal sequences improves prediction of future events. 2. • Learning to predict from temporal sequences generalizes to untrained stimuli. 3. • Learning to predict is sensitive to the global structure of the trained sequence. 4. • Learning to predict is compromised by…

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies permit the rapid production of vast amounts of data at low cost. Economical data storage and transmission hence becomes an increasingly important challenge for NGS experiments. In this paper, we introduce a new non-reference based read sequence compression tool called…
