Computational scientists and cancer experts have devised bioinformatics software to evaluate how well current strategies distinguish cancer-promoting mutations from benign mutations in cancer cells.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Since age is one of the risk factors for the development of cancer, ...

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines biology, computer science, mathematics, and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. It involves the development and application ...

A Belgian team of computational biologists led by Stein Aerts (VIB-KU Leuven) has developed a new bioinformatics method called cisTopic. Inspired by text-mining methods, cisTopic helps scientists to ...

In what is being cited as a step towards personalized medicine, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and IrsiCaixa have developed a bioinformatics method to predict the effects of mutation on the ...

The Bioinformatics Core develops and supports computational and bioinformatics methods and tools to assess, monitor, track and disseminate all variant and model information to center staff and ...

Single guide ribonucleic acid (sgRNA) molecules are produced by discontinuous transcription, in which viral RNA-dependant RNA polymerase pauses early negative-sense RNA synthesis and then jumps to the ...

The effectiveness of antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is frequently affected by the virus' ability to develop genetic mutations. Barcelona Supercomputing Center ...

We are living in an era where biology has become synonymous with big data due to the ever-increasing amount of data being generated by technologies such as next-generation sequencing. Bioinformatics ...
