Quantifying the Rationality of Rhythmic Signals
Rhythms and vibrations represent the quintessence of life, and they are ubiquitous (systemic) in all living systems. Recognising, unfolding these rhythms is paramount in medicine, for example, in the physiolog...

Open AccessPrestressed cells are prone to cytoskeleton failures under localized shear strain: an experimental demonstration on muscle precursor cells
We report on a wavelet based space-scale decomposition method for analyzing the response of living muscle precursor cells (C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes) upon sharp indentation with an AFM cantilever and quanti...

Open AccessMulti-scale structural community organisation of the human genome
Structural interaction frequency matrices between all genome loci are now experimentally achievable thanks to high-throughput chromosome conformation capture technologies. This ensues a new methodological chal...

Open AccessEvidence of selection for an accessible nucleosomal array in human
Recently, a physical model of nucleosome formation based on sequence-dependent bending properties of the DNA double-helix has been used to reveal some enrichment of nucleosome-inhibiting energy barriers (NIEBs...

A Wavelet-Based Method for Multifractal Analysis of Medical Signals: Application to Dynamic Infrared Thermograms of Breast Cancer
We use the wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method to perform multifractal analysis of the temporal fluctuations of breast skin temperature recorded using infrared (IR) thermography. When investigating ...

Megabase Replication Domains Along the Human Genome: Relation to Chromatin Structure and Genome Organisation
In higher eukaryotes, the absence of specific sequence motifs, marking the origins of replication has been a serious hindrance to the understanding of (i) the mechanisms that regulate the spatio-temporal repli...

Multiscale analysis of genome-wide replication timing profiles using a wavelet-based signal-processing algorithm
In this protocol, we describe the use of the LastWave open-source signal-processing command language (http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/benjamin.audit/LastWave/) for analyz...

Perinuclear distribution of heterochromatin in develo** C. elegans embryos
Specific nuclear domains are nonrandomly positioned within the nuclear space, and this preferential positioning has been shown to play an important role in genome activity and stability. Well-known examples in...

Automated Detection of Coronal Loops Using a Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima Method
We propose and test a wavelet transform modulus maxima method for the automated detection and extraction of coronal loops in extreme ultraviolet images of the solar corona. This method decomposes an image into...

Open AccessAnalysis of fine-scale mammalian evolutionary breakpoints provides new insight into their relation to genome organisation
The Intergenic Breakage Model, which is the current model of structural genome evolution, considers that evolutionary rearrangement breakages happen with a uniform propensity along the genome but are selected ...

A multifractal formalism for vector-valued random fields based on wavelet analysis: application to turbulent velocity and vorticity 3D numerical data
Extreme atmospheric events are intimately related to the statistics of atmospheric turbulent velocities. These, in turn, exhibit multifractal scaling, which is determining the nature of the asymptotic behavior...

Chromosome neighborhood composition determines translocation outcomes after exposure to high-dose radiation in primary cells
Radiation exposure is an occupational hazard for military personnel, some health care professionals, airport security screeners, and medical patients, with some individuals at risk for acute, high-dose exposur...

Wavelet Analysis of DNA Bending Profiles reveals Structural Constraints on the Evolution of Genomic Sequences
Analyses of genomic DNA sequences have shown in previous works that base pairs are correlated at large distances with scale-invariant statistical properties. We show in the present study that these correlation...

Wavelet Based Multifractal Formalism: Applications to DNA Sequences, Satellite Images of the Cloud Structure, and Stock Market Data
We elaborate on a unified thermodynamic description of multifractal distributions including measures and functions. This new approach relies on the computation of partition functions from the wavelet transform...

Wavelet analysis of fully developed turbulence data and measurement of scaling exponents
Wavelet analysis can be used to measure directly the scaling exponents characterizing the local multifractal behaviour of the velocity field at inertial-range scales, without recourse to dissipation-type quant...
