Abstract

In this paper, we propose global mapping analysis (GMA) as a new method to solve multidimensional scaling (MDS). By GMA, MDS is done by an online learning rule based on stochastic approximation. GMA need not directly calculate the disparity matrix for carrying out MDS, as Oja's PCA network do not calculate the correlation matrix. So, GMA is expected to be useful for multivariate data analysis on a large scale. Actually, it was verified by numerical experiments based on artificial data that GMA can work well even if the number of the attribute N is quite large (N=10,000.)

A real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for quantification of allele ratios and correction of amplification bias.

Allele-specific epigenetic modifications are crucial for several important biological functions, including genomic imprinting and X-inactivation in mammals. Consequently, an ever increasing number of investigations requires accurate quantification of the relative abundance of parental alleles of a specific sequence in a DNA sample. Here, combining the use of polymorphic restriction sites with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, we describe a simple and quantitative assay to measure allele ratios. The efficiency of the assay was assessed on genomic DNA for several polymorphic restriction sites located in the mouse Igf2/H19 imprinted locus. The assay was also successfully applied to quantify allele ratio in cDNA samples. In addition, we provide an experimental procedure for detection and correction of potential PCR amplification bias which significantly extends the range of application of the assay.
