ASSIGNMENT OF STREPTOCOCCUS AGALACTIAE ISOLATES TO CLONAL COMPLEXES USING A SMALL SET OF SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS

Assignment of Streptococcus agalactiae isolates to clonal complexes using a small set of single nucleotide polymorphisms

Abstract Background Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus (GBS)) is an important human pathogen, particularly of newborns.Emerging evidence for a relationship between genotype and virulence has accentuated the need for efficient and well-defined typing methods.The objective of this study was to develop a single nucleotide polymorphism (SN

Expression of FRS2 in atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma: an immunohistochemical analysis of 182 cases with genetic data

Abstract Background The fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 (FRS2) gene is located close to MDM2 and CDK4 within the 12q13-15 chromosomal region.FRS2 gene was recently found to be consistently amplified in atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT)/well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), suggesting the detection

Approaches to big data analysis of interface pressure measurements from continuous pressure imaging technology

Introduction Over 4.5 TB of data will be collected in a randomized clinical trial assessing continuous pressure imaging technology in reducing pressure injuries.To permit efficient analysis we examined different approaches to generating a reduced representation of the data that still produced similar analytical results to the full data set.Objectiv
