Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for detecting an altered susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer in a subject carrying a BRCA mutation, comprising determining the nucleic acid sequence of a polymorphism of a microRNA-related gene.
Abstract:
Various embodiments for facilitating search, list and retrieval operations on a persistent data set using a distributed shared memory (DSM) by a processor device are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a DSM is used to store the data structures in a cluster shared memory, such that updates, deletions and insertions are applied to both the persistent data set and the DSM, and search, list and retrieval operations are processed directly from the DSM. A data structure in the persistent data set is stored in two separate DSM pages: a first page includes an identifying search key of the data structure, the search key also pointing to a location of the data structure in the storage. A second page includes the updatable properties of the data structure. A DSM storing the data structures' pages is organized as a two-row matrix.
