Based on prime implicates canonical representation, we first introduce the notion of conflicting variable and use it to refine an existing inconsistency measure defined by minimally unsatisfiable sets (MUSes).
We refined an existing rat orthotopic bladder tumour model to evaluate the efficacy of the OncovexGALV/CD virus with or without 5-FC.

The technique of simulated annealing, by which an existing MSA produced by another method is refined by a series of rearrangements designed to find better regions of alignment space than the one the input alignment already occupies.
In the cancer module process, modules are generated by merging and then refining existing gene sets with gene clusters computed from a large collection of tumor gene expression microarrays.
