QTL Mapping Using a Memetic Algorithm with Modifications of BIC as Fitness Function

The problem of locating quantitative trait loci (QTL) for experimental populations can be approached by multiple regression analysis. In this context variable selection using a modification of the Bayesian Information Criterion (mBIC) has been well established in the past. In this article a memet... (original story)

Exploring Multicollinearity Using a Random Matrix Theory Approach

Clustering of gene expression data is often done with the latent aim of dimension reduction, by finding groups of genes that have a common response to potentially unknown stimuli. However, what is poorly understood to date is the behaviour of a low dimensional signal embedded in high dimensions. Thi... (original story)

Computing Posterior Probabilities for Score-based Alignments Using ppALIGN

Score-based pairwise alignments are widely used in bioinformatics in particular with molecular database search tools, such as the BLAST family. Due to sophisticated heuristics, such algorithms are usually fast but the underlying scoring model unfortunately lacks a s... (original story)

The Beta-Binomial SGoF method for multiple dependent tests

In this paper a correction of SGoF multitesting method for dependent tests is introduced. The correction is based in the beta-binomial model, and therefore the new method is called Beta-Binomial SGoF (or BB-SGoF). Main properties of the new method are established, and its practical implementation is... (original story)

Borrowing Information Across Genes and Experiments for Improved Error Variance Estimation in Microarray Data Analysis

Statistical inference for microarray experiments usually involves the estimation of error variance for each gene. Because the sample size available for each gene is often low, the usual unbiased estimator of the error variance can be unreliable. Shrinkage methods, including empirical Bayes approache...
