A new PIN model with application of the change-point detection method
The existing PIN models impose a restriction on the number of possible intensity pairs. However, our investigation shows that the number of empirical intensity pairs is significantly more than the one these mo...

Live Cell Imaging of Nuclear Actin Filaments and Heterochromatic Repair foci in Drosophila and Mouse Cells
Pericentromeric heterochromatin is mostly composed of repeated DNA sequences, which are prone to aberrant recombination during double-strand break (DSB) repair. Studies in Drosophila and mouse cells revealed that...
