BACKGROUND: Over the last ten years, there has been explosive development in methods for measuring gene expression. These methods can identify thousands of genes altered between conditions, but understanding these datasets and forming hypotheses base...
MOTIVATION: First identified as an issue in 1996, duplication in biological databases introduces redundancy and even leads to inconsistency when contradictory information appears. The amount of data makes purely manual de-duplication impractical, and...
In this article, the performance of a hybrid artificial neural network (i.e. scale-free and small-world) was analyzed and its learning curve compared to three other topologies: random, scale-free and small-world, as well as to the chemotaxis neural n...
Lots of similarity-based algorithms have been designed to deal with the problem of link prediction in the past decade. In order to improve prediction accuracy, a novel cosine similarity index CD based on distance between nodes and cosine value betwee...
A major goal in the study of human diseases is to assign functions to genes or genetic variants. The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans provides a powerful tool because homologs of many human genes are identifiable, and large collections of geneti...

Protein-RNA interactions (PRIs) are considerably important in a wide variety of cellular processes, ranging from transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulations of gene expression to the active defense of host against virus. With the development...
Early brain connectivity development consists of multiple stages: birth of neurons, their migration and the subsequent growth of axons and dendrites. Each stage occurs within a certain period of time depending on types of neurons and cortical layers....
MOTIVATION: Automated cell lineage tracing throughout embryogenesis plays a key role in the study of regulatory control of cell fate differentiation, morphogenesis and organogenesis in the development of animals, including nematode Caenorhabditis ele...

Recombinant protein expression is a crucial technique in biology, with E. coli being the most widely used expression system. However, due to growth pressure, the expression of large molecular weight proteins in E. coli has remained a challenging task...
Deep-brain microscopy is strongly limited by the size of the imaging probe, both in terms of achievable resolution and potential trauma due to surgery. Here, we show that a segment of an ultra-thin multi-mode fiber (cannula) can replace the bulky mic...
