What is Variation?01:14

What is Variation?

18.4K
Apart from the measures of central tendency, distribution, outliers, and the changing characteristics of data with time, an important characteristic of any data set is its variation or spread. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in others, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean.
The range, standard deviation, standard error, and variance are the different measures of variation.
Range: The range is the difference between its maximum and...

Variation

8.0K
An important characteristic of any set of data is the variation in the data. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in other data sets, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean. The most common measure of variation, or spread, is the standard deviation, which is the square root of variance.
When independent and dependent variables are plotted on a scatter plot, the slope of a line is a value that describes the rate of change between the two...

Variation: Normal Distribution, Range, and Standard Deviation

27.6K
In the field of psychology, there are several ways to organize measurements of a trait, feature, or characteristic (i.e., variables). Qualitative data, such as ethnicity, can be tabulated into a frequency count to provide information about the proportion, as well as the variety of groups in a sample or population. On the other hand, researchers can perform a wider set of calculations on quantitative data. The mean, mode, and median, for instance, are central tendency measures to identify a...

Machines

577
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. One example of a machine is the cutting plier, which is used to cut wires by applying forces to its handles. When equal and opposite forces are exerted on the handles of the cutting plier, they cause the cutting edges to come together and apply equal and opposite reaction forces on the wire, which are greater than the applied forces.
A free-body diagram of the...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.8K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure01:18

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure

4.1K
Change in atmospheric pressure with height is particularly interesting. The decrease in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude is due to the decreasing gravitational force per unit area as we move away from the surface of the earth.
Assuming the air temperature is constant at a given altitude and that the ideal gas law of thermodynamics describes the atmosphere to a good approximation, one can find the variation of atmospheric pressure with height.
Let p(y) be the atmospheric pressure at...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have limitations in investigating copy number variants (CNVs) due to a lack of accurate genotyping tools.
  • Copy number variants (CNVs) are significant contributors to human genetic diversity and disease predisposition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce ensembleCNV, a novel ensemble learning framework for robust detection and genotyping of CNVs using SNP array data.
  • To enable systematic genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for diseases associated with CNVs.

Main Methods:

  • EnsembleCNV employs an ensemble learning framework to integrate calls from multiple CNV callers.
  • It includes steps for batch effect identification and removal, CNV region assembly, re-genotyping using local likelihood models, and boundary refinement.
  • The framework provides direct CNV genotyping with confidence scores.

Main Results:

  • EnsembleCNV demonstrated superior performance compared to existing methods on two large datasets.
  • Achieved a high call rate (93.3%) and reproducibility (98.6%).
  • Captured 85% of common CNVs from the 1000 Genomes Project, comparable to SNP genotyping accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • EnsembleCNV offers a robust and accurate solution for CNV genotyping from SNP array data.
  • The tool is well-suited for genome-wide CNV association studies, facilitating the investigation of CNV roles in human diseases.
