BACKGROUND: Clinical text classification is an fundamental problem in medical natural language processing. Existing studies have cocnventionally focused on rules or knowledge sources-based feature engineering, but only a limited number of studies hav...
AIM: Six modern PGx assays were compared with the Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) to determine the proportion of the currently known PGx genotypes that are assessed by these assays.
BACKGROUND: Topologically associating domains (TADs) are considered the structural and functional units of the genome. However, there is a lack of an integrated resource for TADs in the literature where researchers can obtain family classifications a...
