Systematic benchmarking of omics computational tools

Benchmarking computational tools for polymorphic transposable element detection

Transposable elements (TEs) are an important source of human genetic variation with demonstrable effects on phenotype. Recently, a number of computational methods for the detection of polymorphic TE (polyTE) insertion sites from next-generation sequence data have been developed. The use of such tools will become increasingly important as the pace of human genome sequencing accelerates. For this...

Benchmarking RDF Production Tools

Since a big part of web content is stored in relational databases (RDB) there are several approaches for generating of semantic web metadata from RDB. In our previous work we designed a novel approach for RDB to RDF data transformation. This paper describes experimental comparison of our system with several means of RDF production. We benchmarked both systems for the RDB to RDF transformation a...

Benchmarking Twitter Sentiment Analysis Tools

Twitter has become one of the quintessential social media platforms for user-generated content. Researchers and industry practitioners are increasingly interested in Twitter sentiments. Consequently, an array of commercial and freely available Twitter sentiment analysis tools have emerged, though it remains unclear how well these tools really work. This study presents the findings of a detailed...

Development of “-omics” research in Schistosoma spp. and -omics-based new diagnostic tools for schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis, caused by dioecious flatworms in the genus Schistosoma, is torturing people from many developing countries nowadays and frequently leads to severe morbidity and mortality of the patients. Praziquantel based chemotherapy and morbidity control for this disease adopted currently necessitate viable and efficient diagnostic technologies. Fortunately, those "-omics" researches, which...
