Background
The statistical modeling of biomedical corpora could yield integrated, coarse-to-fine views of biological phenomena that complement discoveries made from analysis of molecular sequence and profiling data. Here, the potential of such modeling is demonstrated by examining the 5,225 free-text items in the Caenorhabditis Genetic Center (CGC) Bibliography using techniques from statistical information retrieval. Items in the CGC biomedical text corpus were modeled using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model. LDA is a hierarchical Bayesian model which represents a document as a random mixture over latent topics; each topic is characterized by a distribution over words. 相似文献5.
Estimating the rate of evolution of the rate of molecular evolution 总被引:35,自引:13,他引:22
A simple model for the evolution of the rate of molecular evolution is
presented. With a Bayesian approach, this model can serve as the basis for
estimating dates of important evolutionary events even in the absence of
the assumption of constant rates among evolutionary lineages. The method
can be used in conjunction with any of the widely used models for
nucleotide substitution or amino acid replacement. It is illustrated by
analyzing a data set of rbcL protein sequences.

Meningococcal group C (MenC) plain polysaccharide (PS) and conjugate vaccines are primarily evaluated by physicochemical methods to ensure that batches are consistently manufactured. As different assays are employed to quantify the MenC PS content of final formulations and bulk intermediaries, there is a need for an International MenC PS Standard to calibrate internal references used in the different laboratories. Twelve laboratories from nine different countries participated in a collaborative study to determine the MenC PS content of a candidate International Standard MenC PS preparation (08/214) and to assess its suitability. On the basis of the results from this study the candidate standard 08/214 was established as an International Standard for the quantification of MenC PS content in vaccines and components. It has a content of 1.192 ± 0.192 mg MenC PS/ampoule (expanded uncertainty with coverage factor of k = 2.365 corresponding to a 95% level of confidence), as determined by the resorcinol assays carried out by eight of the participating laboratories. The standard is available from The National Institute of Biological Standards and Control who act as guardians and distributors of the material under the auspices of WHO. 相似文献

Background
Ensemble attribute profile clustering is a novel, text-based strategy for analyzing a user-defined list of genes and/or proteins. The strategy exploits annotation data present in gene-centered corpora and utilizes ideas from statistical information retrieval to discover and characterize properties shared by subsets of the list. The practical utility of this method is demonstrated by employing it in a retrospective study of two non-overlapping sets of genes defined by a published investigation as markers for normal human breast luminal epithelial cells and myoepithelial cells. 相似文献8.
Ninety ejaculates from a total of 76 AI boars were extended in Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS). Boar identity, breed, weight
of the ejaculate and sperm concentration were registered. Motility and acrosome integrity were assessed after storage at 16–18°C
for 6, 30, 54, 78, and 102 h. Storage time had a significant influence on both motility (p < 0.01) and acrosome integrity
(p < 0.001). The Least Square Means for percentage of motility showed a small decline from 79.8% after 6 h of storage to 78.4%
at 102 h. Motility at 78 and 102 h was significantly different from motility at 6 h (p < 0.05). The percentage of sperm cells
with normal acrosomes declined throughout the experiment. The Least Square Means for 6, 30, 54, 78, and 102 h of storage were
93.9%, 90.6%, 88.0%, 84.8%, and 78.2%, respectively. The decrease in acrosome integrity from one storage time to the next
was highly significant throughout the trial (p < 0.001). There was a significant influence of boar (p < 0.001) and sperm concentration
(p < 0.01) on motility, while acrosome integrity was affected only by boar (p < 0.001). Breed of the boars and weight of the
ejaculate did not influence the dependent variables. 相似文献

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD9 cell cycle checkpoint gene is required for optimal repair of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers in both G(1) and G(2)/M phases of the cell cycle 下载免费PDF全文
Cells respond to DNA damage by activating both cellular growth arrest and DNA repair processes. In Saccharomyces cerevesiae the RAD9 gene controls DNA damage-mediated cell cycle arrest that is known to allow efficient repair. To ascertain whether RAD9 plays a role in DNA repair per se, the removal of UV-induced photolesions was assessed in synchronized isogenic normal and rad9Δ cells using the high resolution primer extension technique. The results show that RAD9 is indeed involved in the removal of photolesions from both the transcribed and the non-transcribed strands of the reporter GAL10 gene, in G1- as well as G2/M-arrested cells. Interestingly, these data also reveal that in both normal and rad9 mutant, the repair strand bias towards the transcribed stand is more pronounced in G2/M- than in G1-arrested cells. These data indicate that RAD9 coordinate the cellular response to DNA damage by activating both cell cycle checkpoint and excision repair. 相似文献

This paper tests the hypothesis that foraging site selection reflects a trade-off between the various needs for concealment from predators, to find food, and for the individual to maintain some view of its surroundings. After removal of Crested Tits Parus cristatus (the dominant species in mixed flocks), Willow Tits P. montanus did not decrease their foraging heights as expected but remained in the most exposed parts of young pines. In contrast, after removal of Willow Tits, Crested Tits increased their foraging height from the sheltered lower canopy to sites previously occupied by Willow Tits. When flock size was reduced, the birds maintained the same high levels of vigilance without concealing themselves in dense vegetation. I suggest that flock members may benefit from foraging in sites that afford good anti-predator vigilance. 相似文献
