Blacklisting variants common in private cohorts but not in public databases optimizes human exome analysis

Jacques Fellay, Alessandro Borghesi

Computational analyses of human patient exomes aim to filter out as many nonpathogenic genetic variants (NPVs) as possible, without removing the true disease-causing mutations. This involves comparing the patient's exome with public databases to remove rep ...

PWMScan: a fast tool for scanning entire genomes with a position-specific weight matrix

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, Romain Fernand Pietro Groux

Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to specific short DNA sequences of 5 to 20-bp to regulate the rate of transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA. We present PWMScan, a fast web-based tool to scan server-r ...

SPA: Sparse Photorealistic Animation Using a Single RGB-D Camera

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Jingyu Yang, Kun Li

Photorealistic animation is a desirable technique for computer games and movie production. We propose a new method to synthesize plausible videos of human actors with new motions using a single cheap RGB-D camera. A small database is captured in a usual of ...
