Test exactIn statistics, an exact (significance) test is a test such that if the null hypothesis is true, then all assumptions made during the derivation of the distribution of the test statistic are met. Using an exact test provides a significance test that maintains the type I error rate of the test () at the desired significance level of the test. For example, an exact test at a significance level of , when repeated over many samples where the null hypothesis is true, will reject at most of the time.
Multiple sequence alignmentMultiple sequence alignment (MSA) may refer to the process or the result of sequence alignment of three or more biological sequences, generally protein, DNA, or RNA. In many cases, the input set of query sequences are assumed to have an evolutionary relationship by which they share a linkage and are descended from a common ancestor. From the resulting MSA, sequence homology can be inferred and phylogenetic analysis can be conducted to assess the sequences' shared evolutionary origins.
Chimie combinatoireLa chimie combinatoire combine (au hasard ou parfois, à ses débuts, puis de manière automatique et codifiée ensuite) des molécules ou structures apparentées pour former des matières à propriétés nouvelles via des synthèses divergentes, par exemple. Elle est née de la génomique et de la protéomique qui cherchent à étudier le fonctionnement du Vivant aux échelles les plus petites, notamment pour trouver de nouvelles cibles thérapeutiques, constituant pour cela des ciblothèques.
