Pfam 10 years on: 10 000 families and still growing

Classifications of proteins into groups of related sequences are in some respects like a periodic table for biology, allowing us to understand the underlying molecular biology of any organism. Pfam is a large collection of protein domains and families. Its scientific goal is to provide a complete and accurate classification of protein families and domains. The next release of the database will ...

Educating 10, 000 informaticians by 2010: The AMIA 10 × 10 program

The book ended with the first appearances of (what Pilbeam considered) the first modern humans. This was conventional wisdom; wh...

A Benchmark 3D Fingerprint Database Invited Paper

Fingerprint biometric is one of the most successful biometrics applied in both forensic law enforcement and security applications. Recent developments in fingerprint acquisition technology have resulted in touchless live scan devices that generate 3D representation of fingerprints, and thus can overcome the deformation and smearing problems caused by conventional contact-based acquisition techn...
