PURPOSE: Late genitourinary (GU) toxicity after radiation therapy limits the quality of life of prostate cancer survivors; however, efforts to explain GU toxicity using patient and dose information have remained unsuccessful. We identified patients w...
BACKGROUND: CCR5-coreceptor antagonists can be used for treating HIV-2 infected individuals. Before initiating treatment with coreceptor antagonists, viral coreceptor usage should be determined to ensure that the virus can use only the CCR5 corecepto...
BACKGROUND: Low plasma proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type-9 (PCSK9) concentration has been associated with loss of function (LOF) PCSK9 mutations in several studies. However, the current standard for detection of these LOF mutations is throu...
Genotype imputation is an important tool for prediction of unknown genotypes for both unrelated individuals and parent-offspring trios. Several imputation methods are available and can either employ universal machine learning methods, or deploy algor...
INTRODUCTION: High Resolution Melting (HRM) following PCR has been used to identify DNA genotypes. Fluorescent dyes bounded to double strand DNA lose their fluorescence with increasing temperature, yielding different signatures for different genotype...

Although some methods are proposed for automatic ontology generation, none of them address the issue of integrating large-scale heterogeneous biomedical ontologies. We propose a novel approach for integrating various types of ontologies efficiently a...
Roots play an immediate role as the interface for water acquisition. To improve sustainability in low-water environments, breeders of major crops must therefore pay closer attention to advantageous root phenotypes; however, the complexity of root arc...
Hepatitis C virus infection is a significant global health concern, affecting millions worldwide. Although direct-acting antivirals achieve over 90% success rate, treatment failures still occur, particularly when pan-genotypic DAAs are unavailable, a...
Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a powerful diagnostics tool that is widely studied in the context of liquid biopsy in oncology and other fields. In obstetrics, maternal plasma cfDNA have already proven its utility, enabling noninvasive prenatal ...
