To unearth new functional regions in the human genome with potential roles in shaping clinically important traits, researchers searched for how elephants, hibernating bats, orcas, dolphins, naked mole rats, and ground squirrels changed critical...

MOTIVATION: Mapping reads to a reference genome is often the first step in a sequencing data analysis pipeline. The reduction of sequencing costs implies a need for algorithms able to process increasing amounts of...

We are pleased to announce the second installment of the SoCal Bioinformatics Hackathon. From January 9-11, 2019, the NCBI will help run a bioinformatics hackathon in Southern California hosted by the Computational Sciences Research...

In recent years hundreds of novel RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been identified leading to the discovery of novel RNA-binding domains (RBDs). Furthermore, unstructured or disordered low-complexity regions of RBPs have been identified to play...

Background: As sequencing technology improves, the concept of a single reference genome is becoming increasingly restricting. In the case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, one must often choose between using a genome that is closely related...

Author summary The most important functional parts of proteins are often small—but very specific—sequence motifs. Moreover, these motifs tend to be strongly conserved during evolution due to their functional role. Nevertheless, when trying to...

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) provides a large suite of online resources for biological information and data, including the GenBank® nucleic acid sequence database and the PubMed database of citations and abstracts...
