Next-Generation Sequencing Data Analysis

Next-Generation Sequencing Data Analysis

Next-generation DNA and RNA sequencing has revolutionized biology and medicine. With sequencing costs continuously dropping and our ability to generate large datasets rising data analysis becomes more important than ever. Next-Generation Sequencing Data Analysis walks readers through next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis step by step for a wide range of NGS applications. For each NGS application this book covers topics from experimental design sample processing sequencing strategy formulation to sequencing read quality control data preprocessing read mapping or assembly and more advanced stages that are specific to each application. Major applications include: RNA-seq: Both bulk and single cell (separate chapters) Genotyping and variant discovery through whole genome/exome sequencing Clinical sequencing and detection of actionable variants De novo genome assembly ChIP-seq to map protein-DNA interactions Epigenomics through DNA methylation sequencing Metagenome sequencing for microbiome analysis Before detailing the analytic steps for each of these applications the book presents introductory cellular and molecular biology as a refresher mostly for data scientists the ins and outs of widely used NGS platforms and an overview of computing needs for NGS data management and analysis. The book concludes with a chapter on the changing landscape of NGS technologies and data analytics. The second edition of this book builds on the well-received first edition by providing updates to each chapter. Two brand new chapters have been added to meet rising data analysis demands on single-cell RNA-seq and clinical sequencing. The increasing use of long-read sequencing has also been reflected in all NGS applications. This book discusses concepts and principles that underlie each analytic step along with software tools for implementation. It highlights key features of the tools while omitting tedious details to provide an easy-to-follow guide for practitioners in life sciences bioinformatics biostatistics and data science. Tools introduced in this book are open source and freely available.

Mexico's Political Stability The Next Five Years

Mexico's Political Stability The Next Five Years

Mexico is undergoing its worst economic cr1s1s since the world depression of the 1930s. In this volume contributors analyze significant patterns that might affect political stability and legitimacy economic viability and social change over the next several years often reaching controversial conclusions. They argue for example that the military is not likely to change its present civil-military role; that political opposition rather than political violence or pressure from foreign governments will have the most profound influence on the changing pattern of political legitimacy and system stability; and that decision-making in the private sector may have the greatest potential to resolve or exacerbate the current crisis. Finally they suggest that because economic conditions have been altered so dramatically in the recent period Mexican policymakers will need to develop a new range of political alternatives to stabilize the economy and redirect the country's future. | Mexico's Political Stability The Next Five Years

Next Steps Decision Cases for Social Work Practice

Next Steps Decision Cases for Social Work Practice

Social work students consistently struggle to apply theory to practice or use the knowledge of textbooks and classrooms in the field. Vignettes and scenarios represented in textbooks are often simplistic too tidy to be realistic and with clean resolutions. Next Steps: Decision Cases for Social Work Practice highlights the complex messy nature of social work practice in a way that is engaging to students allowing them to step into the role of a practicing social worker. This book is a collection of decision cases from multiple areas of social work practice designed to enhance the quality and depth of classroom case discussion and analysis. These realistic compelling cases present dilemmas about which even experienced practitioners may disagree. This allows rich classroom discussion that enhances critical thinking provides real-life application and creates numerous opportunities to apply content and knowledge acquired throughout a social work education experience. | Next Steps Decision Cases for Social Work Practice

Business Strategies for the Next-Generation Network

Business Strategies for the Next-Generation Network

Carriers and service providers have united around the concept of the Next-Generation Network (NGN). Although leveraging a broad basket of Internet technologies the NGN is not being planned as the next-generation Internet. In its intention and architecture it is more accurately described as Broadband-ISDN release 2. 0. The NGN transition is hard for both practitioners and observers to understand because it weaves together a number of distinct strands: the development of a new architecture and technology base including advanced IT automation systems the development of a portfolio of ‘new wave’ products and services which exploits the power of the new network the design of a new kind of organization which can utilize the higher levels of automation in the NGN and reduce costs and the development of an effective transition plan which can smoothly move operators from their current legacy networks systems and processes to the NGN future. The book begins with a review of the failures of previous attempts by carriers to retool for the future. It describes in detail the technologies and capabilities supporting “new wave’” services focusing particularly on multimedia interactive services TV and Video-on-Demand. The author looks at the IMS layer and how it interworks both downwards into the QoS-enabled IP transport layer and upwards to enable new kinds of applications. However equal attention is addressed to the business models of players in the value chain carriers service providers broadcasters and production companies. The author then examines how carriers have attempted to remodel themselves as IP companies along the dimensions of people processes and IT automation systems describing the lessons to be learned from numerous failures.
