BMC Bioinformatics BMC series | DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-017-1482-6 Yasir Rahmatallah, Boris Zybailov, Frank Emmert-Streib, Galina Glazko Abstract Gene set analysis (in a form of functionally related genes or pathways) has become the method of choice for analyzing omics data in general and gene expression data in particular. There are many statistical methods that either summarize gene-level […]

Viral Phylogenomics Using an Alignment-Free Method: A Three-Step Approach to Determine Optimal Length of k-mer
Sci Rep. 2017 Jan 19;7:40712. doi: 10.1038/srep40712. PubMed PMID: 28102365; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC5244389 Qian Zhang, Se-Ran Jun, Michael Leuze, David Ussery & Intawat Nookaew Abstract The development of rapid, economical genome sequencing has shed new light on the classification of viruses. As of October 2016, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database contained […]
Integrated omics analyses reveal the details of metabolic adaptation of Clostridium thermocellum to lignocellulose-derived growth inhibitors released during the deconstruction of switchgrass
Biotechnology for Biofuels | 2017 | DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-016-0697-5 Suresh Poudel, Richard J. Giannone, Miguel Rodriguez Jr., Babu Raman, Madhavi Z. Martin, Nancy L. Engle, Jonathan R. Mielenz, Intawat Nookaew, Steven D. Brown, Timothy J. Tschaplinski, David Ussery, Robert L. Hettich Abstract Clostridium thermocellum is capable of solubilizing and converting lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol. Although much of the work-to-date has […]
Splenic Immune Response Is Down-Regulated in C57BL/6J Mice Fed Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid Enriched High Fat Diet
Nutrients 2017, 9(1), 50; https://doi.org/10.3390/nu9010050 Nikul K. Soni, Ross AB, Scheers N, Otto I. Savolainen, Intawat Nookaew, Britt G. Gabrielsson, Sandberg Anne Sofie Abstract Dietary n-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are associated with reduction of inflammation, although the mechanisms are poorly understood, especially how the spleen, as a secondary lymphoid […]
