Overlapping genes (encoded on the same DNA strand but in different frames) are thought to be rare and, therefore, were largely neglected in the past. In a test set of 800 viruses ...
Background: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is used to obtain quantitative snapshots of the transcriptome. These profiles are count-based and are assumed to follow a Bin...
Background: Genomic islands can be observed in many microbial genomes. These stretches of DNA have a conspicuous composition with regard to sequence or encoded functions. Genomic ...
Background: Integrating data from multiple global assays and curated databases is essential to understand the spatiotemporal interactions within cells. Different experiments measu...
