  1. Nowadays, the increasing popularity of smartphone devices equipped with multiple sensors (e.g. accelerometer, gy- roscope, etc) have opened several possibilities to the deployment of novel and exciting context-aware mobile applications. In this…
  2. We depend on talks to communicate our work, and we spend much of our time as audience members in talks. However, few scientists are taught the well-established principles of giving good talks. Here, I describe how to prepare, present, and answer…
  3. The process of training new PhDs is complex and has significant dropout rates associated with loss of financial and time investments by the student, mentor, and program. One approach to improve graduate education is to make explicit the skills…
  4. Because of the complexity of gene-phenotype relationships machine learning approaches have considerable appeal as a strategy for modelling interactions. A number of such methods have been developed and applied in recent years with some modest…
  5. In the Life Sciences 'omics' data is increasingly generated by different high-throughput technologies. Often only the integration of these data allows uncovering biological insights that can be experimentally validated or mechanistically modelled,…
  6. This paper provides an elementary introduction to the probabilistic automaton (PA) model, which has been developed by Segala. We describe how distributed systems with discrete probabilities can be modeled and analyzed by means of PAs. We explain how…
  7. WormBase (http://wormbase.org), the public database for genomics and biology of Caenorhabditis elegans, has been restructured for stronger performance and expanded for richer biological content. Performance was improved by accelerating the loading…
  8. Motivation: Matches to repetitive sequences are usually undesirable in the output of DNA database searches. Repetitive sequences need not be matched to a query, if they can be masked in the database. RepeatMasker/Maskeraid (RM), currently the most…
  9. Summary: BLAST programs often run on large SMP machines where multiple threads can work simultaneously and there is enough memory to cache the databases between program runs. A group of programs is described which allows comparable performance to be…
