Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures, which protect chromosome ends and
have been implicated in the ageing process. Telomere shortening has been shown to …

This book provides a highly practical treatment of Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD), a thin
film fabrication technology optimized to produce precise nanostructures from a wide range of …

As reliable, efficient genome sequencing becomes ubiquitous, the need for similarly reliable
and efficient variant calling becomes increasingly important. The Genome Analysis Toolkit (…

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on experimental aspects of the Glancing angle
deposition (GLAD) technique – its methods and possibilities. It introduces the basic theory, and …

… Steele and MT Taschuk are with the Department of Electrical and Com… Cross-sectional SEM
image of 1.5 m thick TiO GLAD film deposited onto … All films were 1:5 6 0:1 m thick and de- …

An obstacle to validating and benchmarking methods for genome analysis is that there are
few reference datasets available for which the “ground truth” about the mutational landscape …

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a well-known technique for fast, stand-off,
and nondestructive analysis of the elemental composition of a sample. We have been …

Software produced for research, published and otherwise, suffers from a number of common
problems that make it difficult or impossible to run outside the original institution or even off …

The glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique is used to fabricate nanostructured thin
films with high surface area. Quantifying this property is important for optimizing GLAD-based …

To better understand telomere biology in budding yeast, we have performed systematic
suppressor/enhancer analyses on yeast strains containing a point mutation in the essential …
