Purposeful selection of variables in logistic regression

Zoran Bursac, C. Heath Gauss, David Williams et al. · 1 Dec 2008

BACKGROUND: The main problem in many model-building situations is to choose from a large set of covariates those that should be included in the "best" model. A decision to keep a variable in the model might be based on the clinical or statistical significance. There are several variable selection algorithms in existence. Those methods are…

biobambam: tools for read pair collation based algorithms on BAM files

German Tischler, Steven Leonard · 19 Jun 2014

Sequence alignment data is often ordered by coordinate (id of the reference sequence plus position on the sequence where the fragment was mapped) when stored in BAM files, as this simplifies the extraction of variants between the mapped data and the reference or of variants within the mapped data. In this order paired reads are…

Boolean network simulations for life scientists

István Albert, Juilee Thakar, Song Li et al. · 14 Nov 2008

Modern life sciences research increasingly relies on computational solutions, from large scale data analyses to theoretical modeling. Within the theoretical models Boolean networks occupy an increasing role as they are eminently suited at mapping biological observations and hypotheses into a mathematical formalism. The conceptual underpinnings of Boolean modeling are very accessible even without a background…

CONTIGuator: a bacterial genomes finishing tool for structural insights on draft genomes

Marco Galardini, Emanuele G. Biondi, Marco Bazzicalupo et al. · 21 Jun 2011

Recent developments in sequencing technologies have given the opportunity to sequence many bacterial genomes with limited cost and labor, compared to previous techniques. However, a limiting step of genome sequencing is the finishing process, needed to infer the relative position of each contig and close sequencing gaps. An additional degree of complexity is given by…

Git can facilitate greater reproducibility and increased transparency in science

Karthik Ram · 28 Feb 2013

BACKGROUND: Reproducibility is the hallmark of good science. Maintaining a high degree of transparency in scientific reporting is essential not just for gaining trust and credibility within the scientific community but also for facilitating the development of new ideas. Sharing data and computer code associated with publications is becoming increasingly common, motivated partly in response…
