The relatively low concentration of pathogen indicators, such Salmonella, in composting sometimes causes a problem with detection when using the conventional techniques. The presence of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) organisms is also a…
An accurate method for enumerating pathogen indicators, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Salmonella spp. is important for assessing the safety of compost samples. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of pathogen indicators in…
The survival of Salmonella spp. as pathogen indicator in composting was studied. The inoculums technique was used to gives the known amounts of Salmonella spp. involved in composting. The inoculums of Salmonella spp. solution was added…
Objectives: To enhance monitoring of high-burden foodborne pathogens, there is opportunity to combine pangenome data with network analysis. Methods: Salmonella enterica subspecies Enterica serovar Enteritidis isolates were referred to the…
The development of an aptamer-based impedimetric sensor for typing of bacteria (AIST-B) is presented. Highly specific DNA aptamers to Salmonella enteritidis were selected via Cell-SELEX technique. Twelve rounds of selection were performed;…
In this research, we consider a mixture of genome fragments of a certain bacteria set. The problem of mixture separation is studied under the assumption that all the genomes present in the mixture are completely sequenced or are close to…
Toxicity evaluation of chemical compounds has traditionally relied on animal experiments;however, the demand for non-animal-based prediction methods for toxicology of compounds is increasing worldwide. Our aim was to provide a…
Atomic-accuracy structure prediction of macromolecules is a long-sought goal of computational biophysics. Accurate modeling should be achievable by optimizing a physically realistic energy function but is presently precluded by incomplete…
Antibody-functionalized carbon nanotube devices have been suggested for use as bacterial detectors for monitoring of food purity in transit from the farm to the kitchen. Here we report progress towards that goal by demonstrating specific…
For open vocabulary recognition of ingredients in food images, segmenting the ingredients is a crucial step. This paper proposes a novel approach that explores PCA-based feature representations of image pixels using a convolutional neural…

Several modern genomic technologies, such as DNA-Methylation arrays, measure spatially registered probes that number in the hundreds of thousands across multiplechromosomes. The measured probes are by themselves less interesting…
Emerging high-throughput technologies have led to a deluge of putative non-coding RNA (ncRNA) sequences identified in a wide variety of organisms. Systematic characterization of these transcripts will be a tremendous challenge. Homology…
Summary: Macromolecular assembly vertebrates essential cellular processes, such as gene regulation and signal transduction. A major challenge for conventional computational methods to study these processes is tackling the exponential…
In computational biology and bioinformatics, the manner to understand evolution processes within various related organisms paid a lot of attention these last decades. However, accurate methodologies are still needed to discover genes…
Malaria is a serious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite that transmitted through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito and invades human erythrocytes. Malaria must be recognized precisely in order to treat the patient in time and…
In this paper we describe a new technique for the comparison of populations of DNA strands. Comparison is vital to the study of ecological systems, at both the micro and macro scales. Existing methods make use of DNA sequencing and cloning,…
Genome wide comparisons between enteric bacteria yield large sets of conserved putative regulatory sites on a gene by gene basis that need to be clustered into regulons. Using the assumption that regulatory sites can be represented as…
A common approach to quantifying DNA involves repeated cycles of DNA amplification. This approach, employed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), produces outputs that are corrupted by amplification noise, making it challenging to…
Background: The short reads output by first- and second-generation DNA sequencing instruments cannot completely reconstruct microbial chromosomes. Therefore, most genomes have been left unfinished due to the significant resources required…
