Knowledge-Based Conformer Generation Using the Cambridge Structural Database.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Fast generation of plausible molecular conformations is central to molecular modeling. This paper presents an approach to conformer generation that makes extensive use of the information available in the Cambridge Structural Database. By using geomet...

Functional Categorization of Disease Genes Based on Spectral Graph Theory and Integrated Biological Knowledge.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Interaction of multiple genetic variants is a major challenge in the development of effective treatment strategies for complex disorders. Identifying the most promising genes enhances the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the disease, whi...

AutismKB 2.0: a knowledgebase for the genetic evidence of autism spectrum disorder.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with strong genetic contributions. To provide a comprehensive resource for the genetic evidence of ASD, we have updated the Autism KnowledgeBase (AutismKB) to version 2.0. Autism...

PlaNC-TE: a comprehensive knowledgebase of non-coding RNAs and transposable elements in plants.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
Transposable elements (TEs) play an essential role in the genetic variability of eukaryotic species. In plants, they may comprise up to 90% of the total genome. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are known to control gene expression and regulation. Although th...

Midwifery students' understanding and knowledge of normal birth before 'delivery' of curriculum.

Midwifery
OBJECTIVE: To generate new knowledge that describes and explains the views and understanding, regarding midwifery and normal birth, that newly enrolled midwifery students hold at the commencement of their midwifery education.

Drug Target Commons: A Community Effort to Build a Consensus Knowledge Base for Drug-Target Interactions.

Cell chemical biology
Knowledge of the full target space of bioactive substances, approved and investigational drugs as well as chemical probes, provides important insights into therapeutic potential and possible adverse effects. The existing compound-target bioactivity d...

Ontology-based systematic representation and analysis of traditional Chinese drugs against rheumatism.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: Rheumatism represents any disease condition marked with inflammation and pain in the joints, muscles, or connective tissues. Many traditional Chinese drugs have been used for a long time to treat rheumatism. However, a comprehensive infor...

Supervised Learning and Knowledge-Based Approaches Applied to Biomedical Word Sense Disambiguation.

Journal of integrative bioinformatics
Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is an important step in biomedical text mining, which is responsible for assigning an unequivocal concept to an ambiguous term, improving the accuracy of biomedical information extraction systems. In this work we follo...

Development of Decision Forest Models for Prediction of Drug-Induced Liver Injury in Humans Using A Large Set of FDA-approved Drugs.

Scientific reports
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) presents a significant challenge to drug development and regulatory science. The FDA's Liver Toxicity Knowledge Base (LTKB) evaluated >1000 drugs for their likelihood of causing DILI in humans, of which >700 drugs wer...

Utilizing knowledge base of amino acids structural neighborhoods to predict protein-protein interaction sites.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Protein-protein interactions (PPI) play a key role in an investigation of various biochemical processes, and their identification is thus of great importance. Although computational prediction of which amino acids take part in a PPI has b...
