DNA storage technology offers new possibilities for addressing massive data storage due to its high storage density, long-term preservation, low maintenance cost, and compact size. To improve the reliability of stored information, base…
This paper deals with the solving of variational inequality problem where the constrained set is given as the intersection of a number of fixed-point sets. To this end, we present an extrapolated sequential constraint method. At each…
Collective coordinate and direct numerical integration methods are applied to the analysis of a one-dimensional DNA model. A modification of the coupling constant in an extended region is found to be less selective towards the breather it…
Chargaff's second parity rule (CSPR) asserts that the frequencies of short polynucleotide chains are the same as those of the complementary reversed chains. Up to now, this hypothesis has only been observed empirically and there is…
In this work, we consider the Combinatorial RNA Design problem, a minimal instance of the RNA design problem which aims at finding a sequence that admits a given target as its unique base pair maximizing structure. We provide complete…
The analysis of intermittent data is improved. The standard method of recovering the history of a particle cascade is proved in general not to reproduce the structure of the true cascade. The recovering corrections to the standard method…

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is the conventional genome-scale approach used to capture the expression levels of all detectable genes in a biological sample. This is now regularly used for population-based studies designed to identify genetic…
Differential co-expression analysis has been widely applied by scientists in understanding the biological mechanisms of diseases. However, the unknown differential patterns are often complicated; thus, models based on simplified parametric…
