    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2014 15(Suppl 1):S1
  2. Many efforts exist to design and implement approaches and tools for data capture, integration and analysis in the life sciences. Challenges are not only the heterogeneity, size and distribution of information ...

    Authors: Marco Masseroli, Barend Mons, Erik Bongcam-Rudloff, Stefano Ceri, Alexander Kel, François Rechenmann, Frederique Lisacek and Paolo Romano
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2014 15(Suppl 1):S2
  3. The huge amount of biomedical-molecular data increasingly produced is providing scientists with potentially valuable information. Yet, such data quantity makes difficult to find and extract those data that are...

    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2014 15(Suppl 1):S4
  5. The amount of gene expression data available in public repositories has grown exponentially in the last years, now requiring new data mining tools to transform them in information easily accessible to biologists.

    Authors: Paolo Cremaschi, Sergio Rovida, Lucia Sacchi, Antonella Lisa, Francesca Calvi, Alessandra Montecucco, Giuseppe Biamonti, Silvia Bione and Gianni Sacchi
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2014 15(Suppl 1):S6
  6. In the last decade, Next-Generation Sequencing technologies have been extensively applied to quantitative transcriptomics, making RNA sequencing a valuable alternative to microarrays for measuring and comparin...
