  1. A major challenge of bioinformatics in the era of precision medicine is to identify the molecular biomarkers for complex diseases. It is a general expectation that these biomarkers or signatures have not only ...

    Authors: Chuanchao Zhang, Juan Liu, Qianqian Shi, Tao Zeng and Luonan Chen
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2017 18(Suppl 3):48
  2. Maximum parsimony phylogenetic tree reconciliation is an important technique for reconstructing the evolutionary histories of hosts and parasites, genes and species, and other interdependent pairs. Since the p...

    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2017 18(Suppl 3):59
  4. Some applications, especially those clinical applications requiring high accuracy of sequencing data, usually have to face the troubles caused by unavoidable sequencing errors. Several tools have been proposed...

    Authors: Shifu Chen, Tanxiao Huang, Yanqing Zhou, Yue Han, Mingyan Xu and Jia Gu
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2017 18(Suppl 3):80
  5. Protein carbonylation, an irreversible and non-enzymatic post-translational modification (PTM), is often used as a marker of oxidative stress. When reactive oxygen species (ROS) oxidized the amino acid side ch...
