An Integrated Database for Exploring Alternative Promoters in Animals by Feiyang Xue, Yuqin Yan, Weiwei Jin, Haotian Zhu, Yanbo Yang, Zhanhui Yu, Xuewen Xu, Jing Gong, Xiaohui Niu

“…Abstract Alternative promoter (AP) events, as a major pre-transcriptional mechanism, can initiate different transcription start sites to generate distinct mRNA isoforms and regulate their expression. At present, hundreds of thousands of APs have been identified across human tissues, and a considerable number of APs have been demonstrated to be associated with complex traits and diseases. …”

ICEEMDAN–VMD denoising method for enhanced magnetic memory detection signal of micro-defects by Shouhong Ji, Jie Yan, Yang Liu, Guojun He

“…When variational mode decomposition (VMD) is employed independently for signal denoising, the denoising effect is restricted because of the difficulty in determining the penalty factor α and the number of decomposition layers m. To solve these problems, a denoising method for enhanced magnetic memory detection signals based on ICEEMDAN and VMD, called ICEEMDAN–VMD, is proposed in this paper. …”
