Standardized clinical pathways are useful tool to reduce variation in clinical management and may improve quality of care. However the evidence supporting a specific clinical pathway for a patient or patient population is often imperfect limiting ado...
Despite rapid advances in sequencing technologies, accurately calling genetic variants present in an individual genome from billions of short, errorful sequence reads remains challenging. Here we show that a deep convolutional neural network can call...
The thyroid is one of the largest endocrine glands in the human body, which is involved in several body mechanisms like controlling protein synthesis and the body's sensitivity to other hormones and use of energy sources. Hence, it is of prime import...
Despite advances in bioinformatics, custom scripts remain a source of difficulty, slowing workflow development and hampering reproducibility. Here, we introduce Vectools, a command-line tool-suite to reduce reliance on custom scripts and improve repr...
In online health expert question-answering (HQA) services, it is significant to automatically determine the quality of the answers. There are two prominent challenges in this task. First, the answers are usually written in short text, which makes it ...
The capacity to learn abstract concepts such as 'sameness' and 'difference' is considered a higher-order cognitive function, typically thought to be dependent on top-down neocortical processing. It is therefore surprising that honey bees apparantly h...
