Annotated somatic variants and interactive variant analysis results are available online atwww.ingenuity.com/acrg2012.

Eighty-eight primary HCC tumors and matched adjacent nontumor liver tissues were analyzed by whole-genome DNA sequencing to identify somatic mutations and HBV integration sites. The vast majority (92%,n = 81) of patients in this cohort were HBV carriers (i.e., HBsAg seropositive) suffering from chronic hepatitis B or cirrhosis. None of the patients were hepatitis C virus (HCV) positive

links to audio books that I’ve read

Thursday, July 17th, 2014

Here’s a collection of my audio books. You can access them through the links below:

Sept. ’10 onwards
http://blog.gerstein.info/search/label/clipbookgoodreadafterjan07

Jan. ’12 onwards
http://linkstream2.gerstein.info/category/clipbookgoodreadafterjan07

Jan. ’07 to Sept. ’11 (when Delicious was reorganized)
https://delicious.com/mbgmbg/clipBookGoodReadAfterJan07

to Jan. ’07
http://gerstein.info/streams/favorite-books.htm

As you can see, I, unfortunately, do not have them consolidated on a single page but you will be able to gather in the variety of links that I have been compiling various good to read nonfiction audio books over the past decade or so. Originally I listened to these on cassette tape and then ripped them onto CDs and now I am using Audible.com.

Finally, you will notice that with some of the more recent books I rated them using a star ranking system and posted my reviews on Amazon.
