Spectral analysis on time-course expression data: detecting periodic genes using a real-valued iterative adaptive approach.

Advances in bioinformatics

Agyepong KS, Hsu FH, Dougherty ER, Serpedin E.
PMID: 23533399
Adv Bioinformatics. 2013;2013:171530. doi: 10.1155/2013/171530. Epub 2013 Feb 28.

Time-course expression profiles and methods for spectrum analysis have been applied for detecting transcriptional periodicities, which are valuable patterns to unravel genes associated with cell cycle and circadian rhythm regulation. However, most of the proposed methods suffer from restrictions...

How and why front-line health workers (did not) use a multifaceted mHealth intervention to support maternal and neonatal healthcare decision-making in Ghana.

Detecting periodic genes from irregularly sampled gene expressions: a comparison study.

EURASIP journal on bioinformatics & systems biology

Zhao W, Agyepong K, Serpedin E, Dougherty ER.
