Evaluation of diversity, specialization, and gene specificity in transcriptomes
The transcriptome is a set of genes transcribed in a given tissue under specific conditions and can be characterized by a list of genes with their corresponding frequencies of transcription. Transc…

Entropic Landscape: the method to predict folding patterns and regional stability of proteins
I propose a new method to calculate the entropy of a given protein sequence fragment. The set of fragment entropies over all possible fragments of the given sequence shows which region of the seque…

Delayed-Type hypersensitivity to latex: Computational prediction of MHC class II epitopes on latex allergens
Delayed type hypersensitivity to natural rubber latex is rare compared to IgE mediated immediate reactions. Binding of allergens to MHC Class II is a crucial step in the presentation of antigens to…
