Annotating protein sequences according to their biological functions is one of the key steps in understanding microbial diversity, metabolic potentials, and evolutionary histories. However, even in the best-studied prokaryotic genomes, not all protei...
The Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD; card.mcmaster.ca) combines the Antibiotic Resistance Ontology (ARO) with curated AMR gene (ARG) sequences and resistance-conferring mutations to provide an informatics framework for annotation a...
MOTIVATION: To provide high quality, computationally tractable annotation of binding sites for biologically relevant (cognate) ligands in UniProtKB using the chemical ontology ChEBI (Chemical Entities of Biological Interest), to better support effort...
MOTIVATION: The advent of massive DNA sequencing technologies is producing a huge number of human single-nucleotide polymorphisms occurring in protein-coding regions and possibly changing their sequences. Discriminating harmful protein variations fro...
MOTIVATION: Experimental testing and manual curation are the most precise ways for assigning Gene Ontology (GO) terms describing protein functions. However, they are expensive, time-consuming and cannot cope with the exponential growth of data genera...
MOTIVATION: Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play a key role in diverse biological processes but only a small subset of the interactions has been experimentally identified. Additionally, high-throughput experimental techniques that detect PPIs are...
Although there are a large number of structural variations in the chromosomes of each individual, there is a lack of more accurate methods for identifying clinical pathogenic variants. Here, we proposed SVPath, a machine learning-based method to pred...
The Evidence and Conclusion Ontology (ECO) is a community resource that provides an ontology of terms used to capture the type of evidence that supports biomedical annotations and assertions. Consistent capture of evidence information with ECO allows...
Previous studies on enhancers and their target genes were largely based on bulk samples that represent 'average' regulatory activities from a large population of millions of cells, masking the heterogeneity and important effects from the sub-populati...
LncRNAWiki, a knowledgebase of human long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), has been rapidly expanded by incorporating more experimentally validated lncRNAs. Since it was built based on MediaWiki as its database system, it fails to manage data in a structur...
