The Predicted Genomic Islands database (Pre_GI) is a comprehensive repository of prokaryotic genomic islands (islands, GIs) freely accessible at http://pregi.bi.up.ac.za/index.php. Pre_GI, Version 2015, catalogues 26 744 islands identified in 2407 ba...
Recently, various types of biological data, including genomic sequences, have been rapidly accumulating. To discover biological knowledge from such growing heterogeneous data, a flexible framework for data integration is necessary. Ortholog informati...
BACKGROUND: One of the major concerns of the biomedical community is the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms. Recent findings show that the diversification of colony morphology may be indicative of the expression of virule...
Quorum sensing peptides (QSPs) are the signaling molecules used by the Gram-positive bacteria in orchestrating cell-to-cell communication. In spite of their enormous importance in signaling process, their detailed bioinformatics analysis is lacking. ...
In this study we use a machine learning software (Ichnaea) to generate predictive models for water samples with different concentrations of fecal contamination (point source, moderate and low). We applied several MST methods (host-specific Bacteroide...
Motility is a fundamental characteristic of bacteria. Distinguishing between swarming and swimming, the two principal forms of bacterial movement, holds significant conceptual and clinical relevance. Conventionally, the detection of bacterial swarmin...
Preventing waterborne disease caused by bacteria is especially important in low-resource settings, where skilled personnel and laboratory equipment are scarce. This work reports a straightforward method for classifying bacterial species by monitoring...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of recalcitrant anthropogenic compounds that are extensively utilized for numerous industrial applications globally. Despite such vast utilization, PFAS accumulation in the soils and sediments wi...
High-speed and accuracy identification of pathogens has become increasingly critical in both individual patient care and public health. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensors enable simultaneous iden...
The efficient prediction of airborne bacterial concentrations is crucial for better understanding and management of environmental sanitation risks in waste facilities. Traditional linear models have proven inadequate in capturing the complex relation...
