We consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative diversity system where a source
communicates with a destination with the help of multiple relay nodes. The conventional system …

Background The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 provides
an up-to-date synthesis of the evidence for risk factor exposure and the attributable burden …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have moved from the environmental resistome into human
commensals and pathogens, driven by human selection with antimicrobial agents. These …

Gene set enrichment (GSE) analysis plays an essential role in extracting biological insight
from genome-scale experiments. ORA (overrepresentation analysis), FCS (functional class …

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have numerous roles in development and disease, and one of
the prominent roles is to regulate gene expression. A vast number of circular RNAs (circRNAs…

Background Recent studies indicate an increased frequency of mutations in the gene
encoding glucocerebrosidase (GBA), a deficiency of which causes Gaucher's disease, among …

Risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), the most prevalent dementia, is partially
driven by genetics. To identify LOAD risk loci, we performed a large genome-wide association …

It is a challenge to classify protein-coding or non-coding transcripts, especially those re-constructed
from high-throughput sequencing data of poorly annotated species. This study …

Importance Early identification of patients with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
who may develop critical illness is of great importance and may aid in delivering proper …
