The particularly interdisciplinary nature of human microbiome research makes the
organization and reporting of results spanning epidemiology, biology, bioinformatics …

Mesenchymal stem cells are often transplanted into inflammatory environments where they
are able to survive and modulate host immune responses through a poorly understood …

Functional genomics technologies have been widely adopted in the biological research of
both model and non-model species. An efficient functional annotation of DNA or protein …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are revolutionizing genome research, and
in particular, their application to transcriptomics (RNA-seq) is increasingly being used for …

We present a simple but powerful procedure to extract Gene Ontology (GO) terms that are
significantly over-or under-represented in sets of genes within the context of a genome-scale …

Motivation: The sequence alignment/map (SAM) and the binary alignment/map (BAM)
formats have become the standard method of representation of nucleotide sequence …

Motivation: We describe a new approach to the analysis of gene expression data coming
from DNA array experiments, using an unsupervised neural network. DNA array …

Monozygotic (MZ) twins are partially concordant for most complex diseases, including
autoimmune disorders. Whereas phenotypic concordance can be used to study heritability …

The genus Citrus, comprising some of the most widely cultivated fruit crops worldwide,
includes an uncertain number of species. Here we describe ten natural citrus species, using …

Background Many bioinformatics analyses, ranging from gene clustering to phylogenetics,
produce hierarchical trees as their main result. These are used to represent the relationships …
