Background: Survival time is an important clinical trait for many disease studies. Previous works have shown certain relationship between patients' gene expression profiles a...
Background: Genomic islands (GIs) are clusters of genes in prokaryotic genomes of probable horizontal origin. GIs are disproportionately associated with microbial adaptations of m...
