Background: Pseudogenes, nonfunctional copies of genes, evolve fast due the lack of evolutionary pressures and thus appear in several different forms. PseudoGeneQuest is an online...
Background: The advent of RNA interference techniques enables the selective silencing of biologically interesting genes in an efficient way. In combination with DNA microarray tec...
Background: High throughput sequencing has become an increasingly important tool for biological research. However, the existing software systems for managing and processing these ...
