Motivation: Prediction of synergistic effects of drug combinations has traditionally been relied on phenotypic response data. However, such methods cannot be used to identify molecular signaling mechanisms of synergistic drug combinations. In this article, we propose an enhanced Petri-Net (EPN) model to recognize the synergistic effects of drug combinations from the molecular response profiles, i.e. drug-treated microarray data. Methods: We addressed the downstream signaling network of the targets for the two individual drugs used in the pairwise combinations and applied EPN to the identified targeted signaling network. In EPN, drugs and signaling molecules are assigned to different types of places, while drug doses and molecular expressions are denoted by color tokens. the changes of molecular expressions caused by treatments of drugs are simulated by two actions of EPN: firing and blasting. Firing is to transit the drug and molecule tokens from one node or place to another, and blasting is to reduce the number of molecule tokens by drug tokens in a molecule node. the goal of EPN is to mediate the state characterized by control condition without any treatment to that of treatment and to depict the drug effects on molecules by the drug tokens. Results: We applied EPN to our generated pairwise drug combination microarray data. the synergistic predictions using EPN are consistent withthose predicted using phenotypic response data. the molecules responsible for the synergistic effects withtheir associated feedback loops display the mechanisms of synergism.

dna tile self-assembly has emerged as a rich and promising primitive for nano-technology. this paper studies the problems of minimizing assembly time and error rate by changing the tile concentrations because changing the tile concentrations is easy to implement in actual lab experiments. We prove that setting the concentration of tile T-i proportional to the square root of N-i where N-i is the number of times T-i appears outside the seed structure in the final assembled shape minimizes the rate of growth errors for rectilinear tile systems. We also show that the same concentrations minimize the expected assembly time for a feasible class of tile systems. Moreover, for general tile systems, given tile concentrations, we can approximate the expected assembly time with high accuracy and probability by running only a polynomial number of simulations in the size of the target shape.
dna sequence analysis depends on the accurate assembly of fragment reads for the determination of a consensus sequence. this report examines the possibility of analyzing multiple, independent restriction digests as a ...

We continue the exploration of dna-based indexing as a universal coordinate system in dna spaces to characterize very large groups (families, genera, and even phylla) of organisms on a uniform biomarker reference system, a comprehensive "Atlas of Life", as it is or as it could be on earth. We provide a second confirmation that dna noncrosshybridizing (nxh) sets can be successfully applied to infer ab-alitio phylogenetic trees by providing a method to measure distances among entire genomes indexed by sets of short oligonucleotides selected so as to minimize crosshybridization. these phylogenies are solidly established and well accepted in bacterial biology, albeit done by analyses of relatively small segments of highly conserved rybozomic dna. Second, it is further demonstrated that dna indexing does provide novel and principled genome-wide predictions into the phylogenesis of organisms hitherto inaccessible by current methods, such as a prediction of the origin of the Salmonella plasmid 50 as being acquired horizontally, likely from some bacteria somewhat related to Yesinia. We conclude with some discussion about the scalability and potential of this method to develop a comprehensive tree of life based on genome-wide methods.
