Matthew Weiner inherited Mad Men’s use of dream sequences from his time working on David Chase’s The Sopranos.

The clean_sequence function is a tool that takes a DNA or RNA sequence as input and removes any characters that are not A, C, G, T (for DNA) or A, C, G, U (for RNA). It returns a character string ...

Recursion is a very useful programming skill. You may not use it very often in most languages, but the ability to think recursively is a valuable skill to acquire. There are programming languages (e.g ...

In recent years, the integration of computational and machine learning techniques has dramatically advanced our understanding of protein function and engineering. As proteins underpin virtually every ...

Sometimes when programming you need to introduce a new data type and develop a library of functions for manipulating instances of that data type. Often this is done as methods on a new class but not ...

Abstract: We propose the concept of partial cycle structure of feedback shift registers, and study its applications in searching the characteristic functions of de Bruijn sequences. We show that, if a ...

Abstract: Aperiodic autocorrelation is an important indicator of performance of sequences used in communications, remote sensing, and scientific instrumentation. Knowing a sequence’s autocorrelation ...

To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. You may think of recursion as a programming structure where a function calls itself. We call such a function a recursive function. Many ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein responsible for the synthesis of a key plant material evolved much earlier than suspected. This new research explored the origin and evolution of the ...
