Background: The binding of regulatory proteins to their specific DNA targets determines the accurate expression of the neighboring genes. The in silico prediction of new binding s...
Background: Genomic islands (GIs) are clusters of genes in prokaryotic genomes of probable horizontal origin. GIs are disproportionately associated with microbial adaptations of m...

Background: Once a new genome is sequenced, one of the important questions is to determine the presence and absence of biological pathways. Analysis of biological pathways in a ge...
Comparative genomics has become an essential approach for identifying homologous gene candidates and their functions, and for studying genome evolution. We developed GenomeBlast, ...
