    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2011 12(Suppl 10):S3
  2. Each organ has a specific function in the body. “Organ-specificity” refers to differential expressions of the same gene across different organs. An organ-specific gene/protein is defined as a gene/protein whos...

    Authors: Fan Zhang and Jake Y Chen
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2011 12(Suppl 10):S4
  3. RNA-Seq is the recently developed high-throughput sequencing technology for profiling the entire transcriptome in any organism. It has several major advantages over current hybridization-based approach such as...

    Authors: Ying Wang, Noushin Ghaffari, Charles D Johnson, Ulisses M Braga-Neto, Hui Wang, Rui Chen and Huaijun Zhou
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2011 12(Suppl 10):S5
  4. Comparative network analysis aims to identify common subnetworks in biological networks. It can facilitate the prediction of conserved functional modules across different species and provide deep insights into...

    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2011 12(Suppl 10):S10
  9. In all amyloid diseases, protein aggregates have been implicated fully or partly, in the etiology of the disease. Due to their significance in human pathologies, there have been unprecedented efforts towards p...

    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2011 12(Suppl 10):S15
  11. Biology is rapidly becoming a data intensive, data-driven science. It is essential that data is represented and connected in ways that best represent its full conceptual content and allows both automated integ...

    Authors: Shelton D Griffith, Daniel J Quest, Thomas S Brettin and Robert W Cottingham
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2011 12(Suppl 10):S17
  12. Proteins search along the DNA for targets, such as transcription initiation sequences, according to one-dimensional diffusion, which is interrupted by micro- and macro-hopping events and intersegmental transfe...

    Authors: Michael L Mayo, Edward J Perkins and Preetam Ghosh
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2011 12(Suppl 10):S18
  13. Identification of transcription factors (TFs) responsible for modulation of differentially expressed genes is a key step in deducing gene regulatory pathways. Most current methods identify TFs by searching for...
