transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is an important stage in plant’s life. flowering pathways including photoperiod, vernalization, gibberellins, and autonomous pathway are regulated by different genes. identification of flowering genes is essential for the development of bolting-resistant sugar beet cultivars. in this study, a set of 118 arabidopsis thaliana genes involved in flo...

brucellosis is a well-known infection in domestic animals which caused by brucella bacterium. due toserious economic and medical consequences of this disease, various efforts have been made to prevent theinfection through the use of recombinant vaccines based on brucella outer membrane protein (omp)antigens. the objectives of the present study were cloning, sequencing and epitope prediction of ...

The number of resources containing data on the sequence, structure, and evolution of allergenic proteins has increased significantly in the last several years. At the same time, informatics resources related to the functioning of the immune system continue to mature rapidly. This proliferation creates a need for effective means to locate, extract, and integrate data from multiple sources to adv...

Bioinformatic approaches are intended to provide systems level insight into the complex biological processes that underlie serious diseases such as cancer. In this review we describe current bioinformatic resources, and illustrate how they have been used to study a clinically important example: epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer...

A starting point of curating bioinformatic resources for the public is marked by the establishment of the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 1988 [1]. One of its many purposes is certainly to echo the initiative of the Human Genome Project (HGP) –– when two landmark reports were published at the same time: ‘‘Mapping and Sequencing the Human Genome’’ by the National Resea...
