Assessments of Indel Annotation Programs and Comparative Somatic Indel Analysis in Cancer Genomes
Author
Chen, Jing
Date Created
2020
Subjects--Topical
Bioinformatics
Description
Insertions and deletions (indels) represent the second largest variation type in human genomes and have been implicated in the development of cancer. Accurate indel annotation is of paramount importance in variants analysis in both healthy and dis...

Subjects--Topical
Mathematics
Description
In this dissertation, we investigate the divergence-free discontinuous Galerkin method using the $\mathcal{H}$(\textbf{div}) basis, to solve the nonlinear ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations. This is a novel approach to ensure the divergenc...

Bioinformatics
Description
Annotating all cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) and constituent transcription factor (TF) binding sites (TFBSs) in genomes is essential to understand genome functions, however, the task remains highly challenging. In this dissertation, we first devel...
