BrainSnail: a dynamic information display system for the sciences.
Journal Title: Bioinformation - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Scientific reference management has become crucial in rapidly expanding fields of biology. Many of the reference management systems currently employed are reference centric and not object/process focused. BrainSnail is a reference management/knowledge representation application that tries to bridge disconnect between subject and reference in the fields of neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. BrainSnail has been developed with considering both individual researcher and research group efforts.
LIPPRED: A web server for accurate prediction of lipoprotein signal sequences and cleavage sites.
Bacterial lipoproteins have many important functions and represent a class of possible vaccine candidates. The prediction of lipoproteins from sequence is thus an important task for computational vaccinology. Naïve-Bayes...
Codon Usage Bias as a Function of Generation Time and Life Expectancy
It has recently been demonstrated that human natural codon usage bias is optimized towards a higher buffering capacity to mutations (measured as the tendency of single point mutations in a DNA sequence to yield the same...
Monozygotic twins: genes are not the destiny?
Monozygotic twins are considered to be genetically identical, yet can show high discordance in their phenotypes and disease susceptibility. Several studies have emphasized the influence of external factors and the role o...
Mining and gene ontology based annotation of SSR markers from expressed sequence tags of Humulus lupulus
Humulus lupulus is commonly known as hops, a member of the family moraceae. Currently many projects are underway leading to the accumulation of voluminous genomic and expressed sequence tag sequences in public databases....
ProPAS: standalone software to analyze protein properties
Physicochemical properties of proteins/peptides are often used to separate proteins/peptides from complex biological samples in proteomics research, which is necessary for the further proteins/peptides identification. So...
