In 2016, UAMS (DBMI) supported the effort to complete the work on the HL7 Developmental Screening Standard. The project is now complete and the standard is published. The standard serves as a framework for the functional requirements of child health developmental screening and reporting services for electronic health record (EHR) systems. The HL7 Developmental Screening […]

Complete genomic and transcriptional landscape analysis using third-generation sequencing: a case study of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK113-7D
Introduction: The genome of the most well studied eukaryotic model organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S288c, was sequenced and released in 1996; it was the first complete, high quality genome sequence of an eukaryal organism (1). Since then, the development ofDNAsequencing technologies has yielded scientific breakthroughs that enable us to obtain and analyze genomic DNA sequences […]

13: The Role of Axiomatically-Rich Ontologies in Transforming Medical Data to Knowledge
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2018;249:38-49 Brochhausen M, Bona J, Blobel B Abstract In the biomedical domain, there exist a number of common data models (CDM) that have experienced wide uptake. However, none of these has emerged as the common model. Recently, the demand for integrating and analyzing increasingly large data sets in clinical and translational research […]
dBBQs: dataBase of Bacterial Quality scores
Visanu Wanchai, Preecha Patumcharoenpol, Intawat Nookaew and David Ussery From The 14th Annual MCBIOS Conference Little Rock, AR, USA. 23-25 March 2017 Abstract Background: It is well-known that genome sequencing technologies are becoming significantly cheaper and faster.

Suggested mechanisms for Zika virus causing microcephaly: what do the genomes tell us?
Se-Ran Jun, Trudy M. Wassenaar, Visanu Wanchai, Preecha Patumcharoenpol, Intawat Nookaew and David W. Ussery. © The Author(s). 2017 Published: 28 December 2017 Abstract Background Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging human pathogen. Since its arrival in the Western hemisphere, from Africa via Asia, it has become a serious threat to pregnant women, causing microcephaly and other neuropathies in developing fetuses. The mechanisms behind these teratogenic effects are unknown, although epidemiological […]
