Allele-specific methylation in the FADS genomic region in DNA from human saliva, CD4+ cells, and total leukocytes

Abstract Background Genetic variants within the fatty acid desaturase Button Lever (FADS) gene cluster (human Chr11) are important regulators of long-chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis in the liver and consequently have been associated with circulating LC-PUFA levels.More recently, epigenetic modifications such as DNA methyla

Integration of Convolutional Neural Networks and Object-Based Post-Classification Refinement for Land Use and Land Cover Mapping with Optical and SAR Data

Object-based image analysis (OBIA) has been widely used for land use and land cover (LULC) mapping using optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images because it can utilize spatial information, reduce the effect of salt and pepper, and delineate LULC boundaries.With recent advances in machine learning, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have
