Complete 4.55-Megabase-Pair Genome of “Candidatus Fluviicola riflensis,” Curated from Short-Read Metagenomic Sequences

We report the 4.55-Mbp genome of "Candidatus Fluviicola riflensis" (Bacteroidetes) that was manually curated to completion from Illumina data. "Ca Fluviicola riflensis" is a facultative anaerobe. Its ability to grow over a range of O2 levels may favor its proliferation in an aquifer adjacent to the Colorado River in the United States.

Non-Markovianity through accessible information

Quantum discord (QD) measures the fraction of the pairwise mutual information that is locally inaccessible in a multipartite system. Fundamental aspects related to two important measures in quantum information theory, namely the entanglement of formation (EOF) and the conditional entropy, can be understood in terms of the distribution of this form of local inaccessible information (LII). As suc...

A Provenance Model for Manually Curated Data

Many curated databases are constructed by scientists integrating various existing data sources “by hand”, that is, by manually entering or copying data from other sources. Capturing provenance in such an environment is a challenging problem, requiring a good model of the process of curation. Existing models of provenance focus on queries/views in databases or computations on the Grid, not updat...

S2RSLDB: a comprehensive manually curated, internet-accessible database of the sigma-2 receptor selective ligands

BACKGROUND Sigma (σ) receptors are accepted as a particular receptor class consisting of two subtypes: sigma-1 (σ1) and sigma-2 (σ2). The two receptor subtypes have specific drug actions, pharmacological profiles and molecular characteristics. The σ2 receptor is overexpressed in several tumor cell lines, and its ligands are currently under investigation for their role in tumor diagnosis and tre...
