African trypanosomiasis
African trypanosomiasis is an insect-borne parasitic infection of humans and other animals.
See GLIMMER and African trypanosomiasis
Amino acid
Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.
Archaea
Archaea (archaeon) is a domain of single-celled organisms.
Bacteria
Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.
Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field of science that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data, especially when the data sets are large and complex.
See GLIMMER and Bioinformatics
Compiler
In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language).
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.
See GLIMMER and DNA
GenBank
The GenBank sequence database is an open access, annotated collection of all publicly available nucleotide sequences and their protein translations.
Gene prediction
In computational biology, gene prediction or gene finding refers to the process of identifying the regions of genomic DNA that encode genes. GLIMMER and gene prediction are Markov models.
See GLIMMER and Gene prediction
GeneMark
GeneMark is a generic name for a family of ab initio gene prediction algorithms and software programs developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. GLIMMER and GeneMark are bioinformatics software.
Genetic code
The genetic code is the set of rules used by living cells to translate information encoded within genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences of nucleotide triplets, or codons) into proteins.
Gibbs sampling
In statistics, Gibbs sampling or a Gibbs sampler is a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm for sampling from a specified multivariate probability distribution when direct sampling from the joint distribution is difficult, but sampling from the conditional distribution is more practical.
See GLIMMER and Gibbs sampling
Haemophilus influenzae
Haemophilus influenzae (formerly called Pfeiffer's bacillus or Bacillus influenzae) is a Gram-negative, non-motile, coccobacillary, facultatively anaerobic, capnophilic pathogenic bacterium of the family Pasteurellaceae.
See GLIMMER and Haemophilus influenzae
Interpolation
In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a type of estimation, a method of constructing (finding) new data points based on the range of a discrete set of known data points.
Johns Hopkins University
Johns Hopkins University (often abbreviated as Johns Hopkins, Hopkins, Johns, or JHU) is a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland.
See GLIMMER and Johns Hopkins University
K-mer
In bioinformatics, k-mers are substrings of length k contained within a biological sequence.
Markov model
In probability theory, a Markov model is a stochastic model used to model pseudo-randomly changing systems. GLIMMER and Markov model are Markov models.
Minimum description length
Minimum Description Length (MDL) is a model selection principle where the shortest description of the data is the best model.
See GLIMMER and Minimum description length
National Center for Biotechnology Information
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is part of the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
See GLIMMER and National Center for Biotechnology Information
Non-coding DNA
Non-coding DNA (ncDNA) sequences are components of an organism's DNA that do not encode protein sequences.
See GLIMMER and Non-coding DNA
Oligomer
In chemistry and biochemistry, an oligomer is a molecule that consists of a few repeating units which could be derived, actually or conceptually, from smaller molecules, monomers.
Open reading frame
In molecular biology, reading frames are defined as spans of DNA sequence between the start and stop codons.
See GLIMMER and Open reading frame
Owen White
Owen R. White is a bioinformatician and director of the Institute For Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, United States.
Ribosome-binding site
A ribosome binding site, or ribosomal binding site (RBS), is a sequence of nucleotides upstream of the start codon of an mRNA transcript that is responsible for the recruitment of a ribosome during the initiation of translation.
See GLIMMER and Ribosome-binding site
Sequence motif
In biology, a sequence motif is a nucleotide or amino-acid sequence pattern that is widespread and usually assumed to be related to biological function of the macromolecule.
See GLIMMER and Sequence motif
Steven Salzberg
Steven Lloyd Salzberg (born 1960) is an American computational biologist and computer scientist who is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, and Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University, where he is also Director of the Center for Computational Biology.
See GLIMMER and Steven Salzberg
Training, validation, and test data sets
In machine learning, a common task is the study and construction of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions on data.
See GLIMMER and Training, validation, and test data sets
Trypanosoma brucei
Trypanosoma brucei is a species of parasitic kinetoplastid belonging to the genus Trypanosoma that is present in sub-Saharan Africa.
See GLIMMER and Trypanosoma brucei
Virus
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.
