Background: A growing demand for tools to assist the building and analysis of biological networks exists in systems biology. We argue that the use of a formal approach is relevant...
Background: While text-mining and distributed annotation systems both aim at capturing knowledge and presenting it in a standardized form, there have been few attempts to investig...
Background: Analysis of sequence composition is a routine task in genome research. Organisms are characterized by their base composition, dinucleotide relative abundance, codon us...
Background: Metalloproteins are proteins capable of binding one or more metal ions, which may be required for their biological function, for regulation of their activities or for ...
