BACKGROUND: The spread of antibiotic resistance has become one of the most urgent threats to global health, which is estimated to cause 700,000 deaths each year globally. Its surrogates, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), are highly transmittable be...
A promoter is a small region within the DNA structure that has an important role in initiating transcription of a specific gene in the genome. Different types of promoters are recognized by their different functions. Due to the importance of promoter...

Genome-scale technologies have enabled mapping of the complex molecular networks that govern cellular behavior. An emerging theme in the analyses of these networks is that cells use many layers of regulatory feedback to constantly assess and precisel...
Quantifying the fate of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in response to physicochemical factors during storage of manure slurries will aid in efforts to reduce the spread of resistance when manure is land-applied. The objectives of ...
BACKGROUND: Biomedical event extraction is a crucial task in biomedical text mining. As the primary forum for international evaluation of different biomedical event extraction technologies, BioNLP Shared Task represents a trend in biomedical text min...
Next generation sequencing technologies used in metagenomics yield numerous sequencing fragments which come from thousands of different species. Accurately identifying genes from metagenomics fragments is one of the most fundamental issues in metagen...
