Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for selecting pharmacogenomic markers. The method includes calculating evaluation indexes for evaluating the degree of association between genetic markers of genes associated with at least one drug and the drug, and selecting some of the genetic markers based on the calculated evaluation indexes.
Abstract:
Provided is a substrate that is used to produce a microarray, wherein the substrate includes; a fiducial mark disposed on the substrate, and a probe immobilization region disposed on the substrate, wherein a surface of the first fiducial mark is a hydrophobic and a probe immobilization compound is immobilized on the probe immobilization region.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for searching compressed nucleic acid sequences are disclosed. In the method, a reference sequence is compared with a subject sequence to be encoded, the subject sequence is compressed, an index is created with respect to the reference sequence and the compressed subject sequence, a position corresponding to a query is searched for in the compressed subject sequence using the index, a character found at the position within the compressed sequence is converted into a sequence, and the sequence is output as the response to the query.
Abstract:
In a method and apparatus for detecting positions of data spots on a microarray, images of the microarray are synthesized with a grid-pattern image to distinguish spots on the microarray and synthesized images are thereby generated, and a synthesized image is selected from the synthesized images based on statistics corresponding to light intensities of fiducial spots included in the synthesized images. Accordingly, the positions of the data spots are accurately detected from the selected synthesized image, and the data of the microarray is thereby analyzed.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of predicting risk of lung cancer recurrence in a lung cancer patient or after a patient has lung cancer treatment, the method including: obtaining a biological sample from a lung cancer patient; measuring an expression level of at least one marker gene from the biological sample, the marker gene being selected from the group consisting of marker genes of Table 1, 2 or 3, to obtain data for the expression level of the marker gene; and determining whether the expression level of the marker gene corresponds to an expression level of a recurrence group or an expression level of a non-recurrence group.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing a timestamp using signature information on a physical layer is provided. The timestamp processing terminal uses a pseudo-random binary sequence to assign signature information to a message which is to be sent to another terminal, and verifies the signature information on a physical layer. The signature information is used to identify the message as a sync message. Accordingly, it is possible to precisely process the timestamp.
Abstract:
An apparatus for scanning a biometric device includes a camera that scans the biometric device to generate images, and a computer that extracts data from the images. The computer measures three-dimensional locations of at least three different positions on a surface of the biometric device, determines one of a virtual approximation plane and a curved surface with respect to the surface of the biometric device based on the measured three-dimensional locations, determines imaging locations of two or more panels disposed on the biometric device based on the one of the virtual approximation plane and the curved surface, obtains individual images of the two or more panels by scanning the biometric device based on the determined imaging locations, and extracts overall data of the biometric device from the individual images of the two or more panels.
Abstract:
Provided are a method of analyzing a sequence of a first probe nucleic acid using a substrate on which a second probe nucleic acid is immobilized, and a microarray and a kit for the same.
Abstract:
A substrate includes; a fiducial mark disposed on the substrate, an area on the substrate on which a probe material is configured to be immobilized, the area being separated from the fiducial mark, and a probe immobilization compound disposed on the area on the substrate on which the probe material is configured to be immobilized, wherein the fiducial mark has a structure which reflects irradiated light at a greater intensity than an intensity of reflected irradiated light form the area on the substrate not corresponding to the fiducial mark.
