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: Transcription factors (TFs) are core functional proteins which play important roles in gene expression control, and they are key factors for gene regulation network co...
Background: Gene family identification from ESTs can be a valuable resource for analysis of genome evolution but presents unique challenges in organisms for which the entire genom...
Background: The engineering of ontologies, especially with a view to a text-mining use, is still a new research field. There does not yet exist a well-defined theory and technolog...
