Abstract
The objective of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) is to associate subsequences of individuals' genomes to the observable characteristics called phenotypes (e.g., high blood pressure). Motivated by the GWAS problem, in this paper we introduce the information-theoretic problem of associated subsequence retrieval, where a dataset of N (possibly high-dimensional) sequences of length G, and their corresponding observable (binary) characteristics is given. The sequences are chosen independently and uniformly at random from XG , where X is a finite alphabet. The observable (binary) characteristic is only related to a specific unknown subsequence of length L of the sequences, called associated...

Abstract
Hydrostatic pressure is one of the most fundamental and common mechanical stimuli in the body, playing a critical role in the homeostasis of all organ systems. Kidney function is affected by high blood pressure, namely hypertension, by the increased pressure acting on the glomerular capillary walls. This general effect of hypertension is diagnosed as a chronic disease, but underlying mechanistic causes are still not well understood. This paper reports a portable and adaptive device for studying the effects of hydrostatic pressure on a monolayer of cells. The fabricated device fits within a conventional incubation system and microscope. The effects of various pressures and durations were...
