Background: Functional annotation of proteins remains a challenging task. Currently the scientific literature serves as the main source for yet uncurated functional annotations, b...
Background: Biomedical and chemical databases are large and rapidly growing in size. Graphs naturally model such kinds of data. To fully exploit the wealth of information in these...
Identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are responsible for common and complex diseases such as cancer is of major interest in current molecular epidemiology. Howe...
Background: Metabolic networks present a complex interconnected structure, whose understanding is in general a non-trivial task. Several formal approaches have been developed to s...
