A Review of Connectivity Map and Computational Approaches in Pharmacogenomics
Briefings in Bioinformatics, 19(3):506-523 | DOI: 10.1093/bib/bbw112 Musa A., Ghoraie L.S., Zhang S.,Glazko G., Yli-Harja O., Dehmer M., Haibe-Kains B., Emmert-Streib F. Abstract Large-scale perturbation databases, such as Connectivity Map (CMap) or Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS), provide enormous opportunities for computational pharmacogenomics and drug design. A reason for this is that in contrast […]

Temporal Dynamics of Gut Microbiota in Triclocarban-Exposed Weaned Rats
Authors: Rebekah C. Kennedy, Russell R. Fling, Michael S. Robeson, Arnold M. Saxton, Liesel G. Schneider, John L. Darcy, David A. Bemis, Ling Zhao, Jiangang Chen ABSTRACT: Widely used as an antimicrobial in antibacterial bar soaps, triclocarban (3,4,4′-trichlorocarbanilide; TCC) is effective against Gram-positive bacteria but shows little efficacy against Gram-negative strains, potentially altering the composition […]
The diversity and specificity of the extracellular proteome in the cellulolytic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii is driven by the nature of the cellulosic growth substrate
Biotechnol Biofuels. 2018 Mar 23 | DOI: 10.1186/s13068-018-1076-1 Poudel S, Giannone RJ, Basen M, Nookaew I, Poole FL, Kelly RM, Adams MWW, Hettich RL Abstract Caldicellulosiruptor bescii is a thermophilic cellulolytic bacterium that efficiently deconstructs lignocellulosic biomass into sugars, which subsequently can be fermented into alcohols, such as ethanol, and other products. Deconstruction of complex substrates by C. bescii involves a […]

Modeling the Personal Health Ecosystem
Stud Health Technology Informatics. 2018;249:38-49 Blobel B, Brochhausen, Ruotsalainen P. Abstract Complex ecosystems like the pHealth one combine different domains represented by a huge variety of different actors (human beings, organizations, devices, applications, components) belonging to different policy domains, coming from different disciplines, deploying different methodologies, terminologies, and ontologies, offering different levels of knowledge, skills, […]
UAMS Team First to Add Directly Sequenced RNA to Public Database
A group of UAMS researchers is the first to deposit directly sequenced RNA to the National Center for Biotechnology Information databases, made possible by their utilization of a novel, handheld genetic sequencing technology. The federal government maintains a collection of databases with the aim of advancing science and health by providing public access to biomedical […]
