Bioinformatics and functional screens identified a group of Family A-type DNA Polymerase (polA) genes encoded by viruses inhabiting circumneutral and alkaline hot springs in Yellowstone National Park and the US Great Basin. The proteins encoded by these viral polA genes (PolAs) shared no significant sequence similarity with any known viral proteins but were remarkably similar to PolAs encoded b...

Recently, data hiding, or information hiding, plays an important role in data assurance. Generally speaking, data hiding techniques can be classified into steganography and digital watermarking (Cox et al., 2008; Shih, 2008). The marked images generated by the steganographic methods (Gu & Gao, 2009; Liu & Shih, 2008; Qu et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2010; Zhou et al., 2010; Fan et al., 2011) were ...

Paks4, along with Paks5, and 6 are members of the group B family of p21-activated kinases (Paks). The Paks play multiple different roles in controlling cell morphology, cell growth, proliferation, and signaling. Pak4 has essential roles in embryonic development (Qu et al., 2003), but in adults high levels of Pak4 are frequently associated with cancer. Pak4 has been implicated in several types o...

This second Theme Issue of ‘The virtual physiological human: computer simulation for integrative biomedicine’ continues to explore in detail the potential of the virtual physiological human (VPH) approach (Fenner et al. 2008). The initial editorial communication on the VPH training challenges (Lawford et al. 2010) illustrates some of the tasks and solutions for an integrated (across Europe) app...
