Background: The integration of genomic information with quantitative experimental data is a key component of systems biology. An increasing number of microbial genomes are being s...
A common task in biological research is to predict function for proteins by comparing sequences between proteins of known and unknown function. This is often done using pair-wise ...
Background: Sequencing metagenomes that were pre-amplified with primer-based methods requires the removal of the additional tag sequences from the datasets. The sequenced reads ca...
