What is Expression Atlas? Expression Atlas [2] is an EMBL-EBI database and web-service that curates, re-analyses and displays gene expression [3] data across species and biological conditions such as different tissues, cell types, developmental stages and diseases. Expression Atlas aims to help answer questions such as 'where is my favourite gene expressed?' or 'how does its expression change i...

The Papers submission and presentations were organized in 6 separate tracks, corresponding to the technical areas covered by six APSIPA technical committees. Among them, the Speech, Language and Audio (SLA) track and the Image, Video and Multimedia (IVM) track attracted the largest numbers of submissions. For this conference, we also got the technical sponsorship from the IEEE Signal Processing...

What can I do with it? You can search using gene annotations to find out about the expression of your favourite gene(s) in normal, untreated conditions, and also in various experimental conditions. You can also search using sample attributes, to find out which genes are expressed in a particular tissue, e.g. human kidney, or which genes show interesting expression patterns under a certain exper...

What is the DGVa? The Database of Genomic Variants archive [2] (DGVa) is a public catalogue of structural variation found in the genomes of individuals within a species. Why do we need the DGVa? In recent years there have been unprecedented advances in the technologies that characterise genomic variation, and it is well known that variation at the single nucleotide level is abundant across the ...

Quantum mechanics is a mathematical model of the physical world, which is built on a small number of postulates, each of which makes a particular claim on how the model reflects physical reality. All the rest of the theory can be derived from these postulates, but the postulates themselves cannot be proved in the mathematical sense. One has to make experiments and see whether the predictions of...

ChEBI [3], EMBL-EBI’s database of Chemical Entities of Biological Interest, is a freely available, manually annotated database of small molecular entities (molecules not encoded by the genome, Figure 1). These could include any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, radical ion [4], complex, conformer [5], or anything else that is a separately distingu...
