Bringing Text Miners and Biologists Closer Together
The boosting of Biomedical Text Mining (BioTM) research in the last few years has led the way for finally bridging out the gap between text miners and biologists. Beyond the development of enhanced…

GOAssay: from Gene Ontology to Assays IDentifiers – Towards Automatic Functional Annotation of PubChem BioAssays
OBJECTIVES: We report on a experiment to functionally annotate PubChem assays using the Gene Ontology Categorizer (GOCat). METHODS and MATERIALS: The assays are processed to filter out non func…

Challenges in Whole-Genome Annotation of Pyrosequenced Fungal Genomes
Pyrosequencing technologies such as 454/Roche and Solexa/Illumina vastly lower the cost of nucleotide sequencing compared to the traditional Sanger method, and thus promise to greatly expand the nu…

Grid technology for collaborative ontology development
In contrast with the centrally-organised curation of the Gene Ontology, many biological ontologies are developed by loosely-organised groups who develop their ontology remotely. These groups tend t…
