Background: Existing sequence alignment algorithms assume that similarities between DNA or amino acid sequences are linearly ordered. That is, stretches of similar nucleotides or ...
This paper studies, for the first time, the management of type information for an important class of semi-structured data: nested DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs) that describe exec...
The RDF data model is gaining importance for applications in computational biology, knowledge sharing, and social communities. Recent work on RDF engines has focused on scalable p...
Many applications operate on time-sensitive data. Some of these data are only valid for certain intervals (e.g., job-assignments, versions of software code), others describe tempor...
The ever-increasing amount of data in biomedical research, and in cancer research in particular, needs to be managed to support efficient data access, exchange and integration. Exi...
