A computer program for application in epidemiological analysis.

Abstract

The importance of computer science as a working tool for the health sector is an unquestionable fact in any modern society. EPIDEMO, developed by the authors, can be defined as a set of programs whose main characteristic is its ability to process a given series of data in a totally integrated way, with an epidemiological and statistical approach. EPIDEMO is a program with a good relational database, which allows preliminary statistical analyses of data that can easily be expanded with more specific statistical options, and is compatible with other programs available on the market. It is a useful, accurate and versatile tool that meets the needs of health professionals in the field of epidemiological research.

The use of gene clusters to infer functional coupling.

Previously, we presented evidence that it is possible to predict functional coupling between genes based on conservation of gene clusters between genomes. With the rapid increase in the availability of prokaryotic sequence data, it has become possible to verify and apply the technique. In this paper, we extend our characterization of the parameters that determine the utility of the approach, and we generalize the approach in a way that supports detection of common classes of functionally coupled genes (e.g., transport and signal transduction clusters). Now that the analysis includes over 30 complete or nearly complete genomes, it has become clear that this approach will play a significant role in supporting efforts to assign functionality to the remaining uncharacterized genes in sequenced genomes.
