Assessing the performance of different approaches for functional and taxonomic annotation of metagenomes

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Background Metagenomes can be analysed using different approaches and tools. One of the most important distinctions is the way to perform taxonomic and functional assignment, choosing between the use of assembly algorithms or the direct analysis of raw ...

Annotation extension through protein family annotation coherence metrics

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2013
Protein functional annotation consists in associating proteins with textual descriptors elucidating their biological roles. The bulk of annotation is done via automated procedures that ultimately rely on annotation transfer.

Functional annotation and ENU

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2012
Abstract Functional annotation of every gene in the mouse genome is a herculean task that requires a multifaceted approach. Many large-scale initiatives are contributing to this undertaking. The International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC) plans to mutate every protein-coding gene, using a combination of gene trapping and gene targeting in ...

Functional Annotations of Paralogs: A Blessing and a Curse [PDF]

open access: yesLife, 2016
Gene duplication followed by mutation is a classic mechanism of neofunctionalization, producing gene families with functional diversity. In some cases, a single point mutation is sufficient to change the substrate specificity and/or the chemistry performed by an enzyme, making it difficult to accurately separate enzymes with identical functions from ...

Clinically Relevant Functional Annotation of Genotype [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation: Cardiovascular Genetics, 2014
Genetic testing was originally thought likely to generate deterministic predictions of many clinical outcomes in inherited disorders. Indeed, this premise was one of the original drivers of the precision medicine movement. However, the variable expression of final phenotypes even in the setting of large genetic effects has long reinforced the ...

Representation of non-coding RNA-mediated regulation of gene expression using the Gene Ontology

open access: yesRNA Biology
Regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as integral to the control of biological processes. This is often through the targeted regulation of mRNA expression, but this is by no means the only mechanism through which regulatory ...

Assessment of genome annotation using gene function similarity within the gene neighborhood

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background Functional annotation of bacterial genomes is an obligatory and crucially important step of information processing from the genome sequences into cellular mechanisms. However, there is a lack of computational methods to evaluate the quality of

Social Functioning Within the First Years After Pediatric Brain Tumor Diagnosis and the Relationship With Family Psychosocial Risk

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.
