Metaproteomics has become a crucial omics technology for studying microbiomes. In this area, the Unipept ecosystem, accessible at https://unipept.ugent.be, has emerged as an invaluable resource for analyzing metaproteomic data. It offers…
RNAnet provides a bridge between two widely used Human gene databases. Ensembl describes DNA sequences and transcripts but not experimental gene expression. Whilst NCBI's GEO contains actual expression levels from Human samples. RNAnet…
The identification of homologous gene families across multiple genomes is a central task in bacterial pangenomics traditionally requiring computationally demanding all-against-all comparisons. PanDelos addresses this challenge with an…
Modern genomic analyses increasingly rely on pangenomes, that is, representations of the genome of entire populations. The simplest representation of a pangenome is a set of individual genome sequences. Compared to e.g. sequence graphs,…
De novo genome assembly is challenging in highly repetitive regions; however, reference-guided assemblers often suffer from bias. We propose a framework for pangenome-guided sequence assembly, which can resolve short-read data in complex…
The explosion in known microbial diversity in the last two decades has made it abundantly clear that microbes in the environment do not exist in isolation; they are members of communities. Accordingly, omics approaches such as metagenomics…
MPAgenomics, standing for multi-patients analysis (MPA) of genomic markers, is an R-package devoted to: (i) efficient segmentation, and (ii) genomic marker selection from multi-patient copy number and SNP data profiles. It provides wrappers…
We developed NameMyGene, a web tool and a stand alone program to easily generate putative family-based names for small RNA sequences so that laboratories can easily organize, analyze, and observe patterns from, the massive amount of data…
There is a keen interest in characterizing variation in the microbiome across cancer patients, given increasing evidence of its important role in determining treatment outcomes. Here our goal is to discover subgroups of patients with…
Pangenomes serve as a framework for joint analysis of genomes of related organisms. Several pangenome models were proposed, offering different functionalities, applications provided by available tools, their efficiency etc. Among them, two…
Leveraging the vast genetic diversity within microbiomes offers unparalleled insights into complex phenotypes, yet the task of accurately predicting and understanding such traits from genomic data remains challenging. We propose a framework…
Pan-genome analysis is a standard procedure to decipher genome heterogeneity and diversification of bacterial species. Specie evolution is traced by defining and comparing the core (conserved), accessory (dispensable) and unique…
Metagenome, a mixture of different genomes (as a rule, bacterial), represents a pattern, and the analysis of its composition is, currently, one of the challenging problems of bioinformatics. In the present study, the possibility of…
To tackle the challenge of producing tractable phylogenetic trees in contexts where complete information is available, we introduce APOGeT: an online, pluggable, clustering algorithm for a stream of genomes. It is designed to run alongside…
Microarray is one of the essential technologies used by the biologist to measure genome-wide expression levels of genes in a particular organism under some particular conditions or stimuli. As microarrays technologies have become more…
Microbial communities play important roles in the function and maintenance of various biosystems, ranging from human body to the environment. Current methods for analysis of microbial communities are typically based on taxonomic…
Determining the physicochemical properties of a protein can reveal important insights in their structure, biological functions, stability, and interactions with other molecules. Although tools for computing properties of proteins already…
The marine environment is one of the most important sources for microbial biodiversity on the planet. These microbes are drivers for many biogeochemical processes, and their enormous genetic potential is still not fully explored or…
The human-associated microbiome is closely tied to human health and is of substantial clinical interest. Metagenomics-based tools are emerging for clinical diagnostics, tracking the spread of diseases, and surveillance of potential…
The phenomenon of gene conservation is an interesting evolutionary problem related to speciation and adaptation. Conserved genes are acted upon in evolution in a way that preserves their function despite other structural and functional…
