Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPyrosequencing-An Alternative to Traditional Sanger SequencingMd Fakruddin, Abhijit ChowdhuryProblem statement: Pyrosequencing has the potential to rapidly and reliably sequence DNA taking advantages over traditional Sanger di-deoxy sequencing approach. Approach: A comprehensive review of the literature on the principles, applications, challenges and prospects of pyrosequencing was performed. Results: Pyrosequencing was a DNA sequencing technology based on the sequencing-by-synthesis principle. It employs a series of four enzymes to accurately detect … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2012 · 12,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Determination of Disease Associated Differences in Haplotype BlocksIvan Kozyryev, Jing ZhangProblem statement: While experimental ascertainment of haplotype blocks in the genome-scale case-control studies is expensive, accurate computational phasing is still a daunting task for bioinformatics approaches. We used a statistical method to determine differences, potentially associated with a certain disease, in linkage disequilibrium block boundaries in whole-genome Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) data. Approach: We utilized a Bayesian model for calculating … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2012 · 8,423 accessesView PDFCite
