<b>dGenhancer v2</b>: A software tool for designing oligonucleotides that can trigger gene-specific Enhancement of Protein Translation. by Adam Master (20316450)

“…<p dir="ltr"> Software tool designed to calculate 5’UTR properties, enabling the creation of oligonucleotides that can trigger gene-specific enhancement of protein translation.<br> An excel-based calculator - dGenhancer can be used to search for putative 5’UTR cis-acting elements, which functional activity could be determined by Gibbs energy-dependent secondary structure formation. …”

Population trajectories for synthetic data. by Lorenzo Cappello (11539312)

“…An essential feature of our approach is the ability to track the time-varying association between the populations while making minimal assumptions on their functional shapes via Markov random field priors. We provide nonparametric estimators, extensions of our base model that integrate multiple data sources, and fast scalable inference algorithms. …”
