RESOLVING DECONVOLUTION AMBIGUITY IN GENE ALTERNATIVE SPLICING

Resolving deconvolution ambiguity in gene alternative splicing

Abstract Background For many gene structures it is impossible to resolve intensity data uniquely to establish abundances of splice variants.This was empirically noted by Wang et al.in which it was called a "degeneracy problem".The ambiguity results from an ill-posed problem where additional information is needed in order to obtain an unique answer

Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Field Cricket Calling Behaviour: Implications for Female Mate Search and Mate Choice.

Amount of calling activity (calling effort) is a strong determinant of male mating success in species such as orthopterans and anurans that use acoustic communication in the context of mating behaviour.While many studies in crickets have investigated the determinants of calling effort, patterns of variability in male calling effort in natural choru
