Alternative techniques for airway management and delivery of oxygen, volatile anesthetics or other breathing gases include the laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, cuffed oropharyngeal airway, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP mask), nasal BiPAP mask, simple face mask, and nasal cannula.
RepeatMasker http://www.repeatmasker.org/ was first used to mask simple repeats and interspersed repetitive elements from each SSR set.
Given their susceptibility to mutation by slipped strand mispairing, we specifically masked simple tandem-repeat sequences, including di- to tetra-nucleotide repeats with 5 or more repeat units.
Yes, we are told to mask simple TMs and not to mask complex TMs, but is there a program or a server that would help one to do it?
BLAST search was performed in RepeatMasker using default parameters with 'do not mask simple repeats or low-complex DNA' option to avoid the regions of low complexity, such as simple tandem repeats, polypurines and AT-rich regions that can lead to spurious matches in database searches.
The masks were simple surgical masks, and the room was not a negative-pressure room.
We found limited evidence of the superior effectiveness of barrier devices to droplets such as the N95 masks over simple surgical masks.
Lower-case masking of simple and complex repeats was performed using Tandem Repeat Finder [ 52] and RepeatMasker [ 53], respectively.
Masking of simple sequence repeats (SSR) and low complexity sub-sequences was performed using the RepeatMasker tool.
