BACKGROUND: Despite the unprecedented and increasing amount of data, relatively little progress has been made in molecular characterization of mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease. In the area of Parkinson's research, there is a pressing need to...
BACKGROUND: The third edition of the BioNLP Shared Task was held with the grand theme "knowledge base construction (KB)". The Genia Event (GE) task was re-designed and implemented in light of this theme. For its final report, the participating system...
A major hurdle facing tuberculosis (TB) investigators who want to utilize a rapidly growing body of data from both systems biology approaches and omics technologies is the lack of a standard vocabulary for data annotation and reporting. Lacking a mea...
To address important challenges in bioinformatics, high throughput data technologies are needed to interpret biological data efficiently and reliably. Clustering is widely used as a first step to interpreting high dimensional biological data, such as...
Modifications to the global run-on and sequencing (GRO-seq) protocol that enrich for 5'-capped RNAs can be used to reveal active transcriptional regulatory elements (TREs) with high accuracy. Here, we introduce discriminative regulatory-element detec...
Putatively functional polymorphisms of one-carbon and xenobiotic metabolic pathways influence susceptibility for wide spectrum of diseases. The current study was aimed to explore gene-gene interactions among these two metabolic pathways in four disea...
MOTIVATION: Experiments in animal models are often conducted to infer how humans will respond to stimuli by assuming that the same biological pathways will be affected in both organisms. The limitations of this assumption were tested in the IMPROVER ...
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a complex liver disease whose pathogenesis involving endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and ferroptosis. However, key regulatory genes remain poorly understood, hindering the development of ef...
OBJECTIVE: Cataract, a common age-related blinding eye disease, has a complex pathogenesis. This study aims to identify key genes and potential mechanisms associated with cataracts, offering new targets and insights for its prevention and treatment.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecular peptides that widely exist in organisms to resist external microbial invasion and play a crucial role in the host's immune defense system. Owing to their functions of efficient broad-spectrum killing ...
