A predictive signature for oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil based chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer

Adjuvant chemotherapy(AC) plays a substantial role in the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC), but the response remains poor.We aims to improve its efficacy in LAGC.Therefore, we identified the expression of eight genes closely associated with platinum and fluorouracil metabolism (RRM1, RRM2, RRM2B, POLH, DUT, TYMS, TYMP, MKI67) in

Compression of structured high-throughput sequencing data.

Large biological datasets are being produced at a rapid pace and create substantial storage challenges, particularly in the domain of high-throughput sequencing (HTS).Most approaches currently used to store HTS data are either unable to quickly adapt to the requirements of new sequencing or analysis methods (because they do not support schema evolu
