Nanopore Data-Driven Chromosome-Level Assembly of Flax Genome.

Flax is an important crop grown for seed and fiber. Flax chromosome number is 2n = 30, and its genome size is about 450-480 Mb. To date, the genomes of several flax varieties have been sequenced and assembled.

Wavelet analysis of intermittent dynamics in nocturnal electrocardiography and electroencephalography data.

This paper presents the results of a study of the characteristics of phase synchronization between electrocardiography(ECG) and electroencephalography (EEG) signals during night sleep. Polysomnographic recordings of eight generally healthy subjects and eight patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were selected as experimental data. A feature of this study was the introduction of an instantaneous phase for EEG and ECG signals using a continuous wavelet transform at the heart rate frequency using the concept of time scale synchronization, which eliminated the emergence of asynchronous areas of behavior associated with the "leaving" of the fundamental frequency of the cardiovascular system.

Intermittent generalized synchronization and modified system approach: Discrete maps.

The present work deals with the intermittent generalized synchronization regime observed near the boundary of generalized synchronization. The intermittent behavior is considered in the context of two observable phenomena, namely, (i) the birth of the asynchronous stages of motion from the complete synchronous state and (ii) the multistability in detection of the synchronous and asynchronous states. The mechanisms governing these phenomena are revealed and described in this paper with the help of the modified system approach for unidirectionally coupled model oscillators with discrete time.

Nucleotide-level distance metrics to quantify alternative splicing implemented in TranD.

Advances in affordable transcriptome sequencing combined with better exon and gene prediction has motivated many to compare transcription across the tree of life. We develop a mathematical framework to calculate complexity and compare transcript models. Structural features, i.

Variation of butyrate production in the gut microbiome in type 2 diabetes patients.

Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a common disease that poses a challenge to the healthcare system. The disease is very often diagnosed late. A better understanding of the relationship between the gut microbiome and type 2 diabetes can support early detection and form an approach for therapies.
