Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide the same benefits as individual, mentored faculty while expanding availability of opportunities. One important aspect CUREs is students’ engagement in collaboration.

The Mouse Genome Database (MGD, http://www.informatics.jax.org) is the international community resource for integrated genetic, genomic and biological data about the laboratory mouse. Data in MGD are obtained through loads from major data providers and experimental consortia, electronic submissions from laboratories and from the biomedical literature. MGD maintains a comprehensive, unified, non...

Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var lupulus) is a dioecious plant of worldwide significance, used primarily for bittering and flavoring in brewing beer. Studies on the medicinal properties of several unique compounds produced by hop have led to additional interest from pharmacy and healthcare industries as well as livestock production as a natural antibiotic. Genomic research in hop has resulted a publ...

SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language) models of biochemical network models are a fast, efficient, and widely spread effort in analyzing pathways and networks. Vast amounts of software tools provide the handling of SBML files. semanticSBML 2.0 is an advanced, improved, and extended version of the systems biology tool semanticSBML. While the latter had to be downloaded, installed and furthermore...

Genome-scale metabolic modeling is a systems-based approach that attempts to capture the metabolic complexity of the whole cell, for the purpose of gaining insight into metabolic function and regulation. This is achieved by organizing the metabolic components and their corresponding interactions into a single context. The reconstruction process is a challenging and laborious task, especially du...

Machine learning models are commonly used to detect toxicity in online conversations. These trained on datasets annotated by human raters. We explore how raters' self-described identities impact they annotate comments. first define the concept of Specialized Rater Pools: rater pools formed based identities, rather than at random. three such for this study - specialized raters from U.S. who iden...

MOTIVATION The computational identification of gene transcription start sites (TSSs) can provide insights into the regulation and function of genes without performing expensive experiments, particularly in organisms with incomplete annotations. High-resolution general-purpose TSS prediction remains a challenging problem, with little recent progress on the identification and differentiation of T...

Online sharing platforms often rely on collaborative tagging systems for annotating content. In this way, users themselves annotate and describe the shared contents using textual labels, commonly called tags. These annotations typically suffer from a number of issues such as tag scarcity or ambiguous labelling. Hence, to minimise some of these issues, tag recommendation systems can be employed ...

Since English has been an international language, how to enhance English levels of people by useful computer assisted learning forms or tools is a critical issue in non-English speaking countries. Past studies confirmed that reading articles with annotated contents enable knowledge sharing and improve the reading comprehension of learners. However, the self-regulated learning (SRL) ability of i...
