VIPR (Viral Identification using a PRobabilistic algorithm) [ 34] is a technique developed for analysis of viral diagnostic microarrays.
When only applying a single SNP caller, we advise to use a probabilistic algorithm and call genotypes in a multi-sample mode.
Here, we demonstrate the utility of a condition-specific codon optimization method that utilizes both systems-level information and codon context to generate a set of potential variants using a probabilistic algorithm.
The identification of known miRNA and discovery of novel miRNA were performed using miRDeep2 v2.0.0.5 [ 36] which uses a probabilistic algorithm based on the miRNA biogenesis model and designed to detect miRNAs from deep sequencing reads.
Widely used software programs that apply a probabilistic algorithm are BioProspector [ 10] and MEME (Multiple Expectation-maximization for Motif Elicitation) [ 11].
Individual-level data from the SHeS have been confidentially linked to routinely collected hospital admission records and mortality data (17) using a probabilistic matching algorithm (26).
The NHIS and NDI are linked using a probabilistic matching algorithm to determine the vital status of all NHIS participants aged ≥18 years.
We have already described an approach for identifying persons with probable dementia in a one phase study design, using a probabilistic predictive algorithm for '10/66 dementia' derived and tested against the criterion of DSM-IV dementia [ 5].
To automatically trace the evolutionary trajectory of gene regulation, we used a novel probabilistic algorithm, Arboretum (Roy et al., 2013) ('Materials and methods'), to infer modules of co-expressed genes in each extant species and to reconstruct the ancestral modules from which they were derived.
The NCHS submitted NHANES records to the NDI for the implementation of a probabilistic algorithm that used identifying data elements such as social security number, first name, middle name, last name, date of birth, race, sex, state of birth, and state of residence to match records according to established criteria (NCHS 2010).
