Impact of gene annotation choice on the quantification of RNA-seq data [PDF]
Background RNA sequencing is currently the method of choice for genome-wide profiling of gene expression. A popular approach to quantify expression levels of genes from RNA-seq data is to map reads to a reference genome and then count mapped reads to ...

Gene Annotation in High Schools: Successful Student Pipeline and Teacher Professional Development in Bioscience Using GENI-ACT [PDF]
Knowledge of genomics is an essential component of science for high school student health literacy. However, few high school teachers have received genomics training or any guidance on how to teach the subject to their students. This project explored the

Student biocuration projects as a learning environment [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]
Background: Bioinformatics is becoming an essential tool for the majority of biological and biomedical researchers. Although bioinformatics data is exploited by academic and industrial researchers, limited focus is on teaching this area to undergraduates,

Capturing heart valve development with Gene Ontology
Introduction: The normal development of all heart valves requires highly coordinated signaling pathways and downstream mediators. While genomic variants can be responsible for congenital valve disease, environmental factors can also play a role. Later in

GOing Forward With the Cardiac Conduction System Using Gene Ontology
The cardiac conduction system (CCS) comprises critical components responsible for the initiation, propagation, and coordination of the action potential. Aberrant CCS development can cause conduction abnormalities, including sick sinus syndrome, accessory

Insights into Online microRNA Bioinformatics Tools
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are members of the small non-coding RNA family regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. MiRNAs have been found to have critical roles in various biological and pathological processes.

Using genomic annotations increases statistical power to detect eGenes. [PDF]
MotivationExpression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are genetic variants that affect gene expression. In eQTL studies, one important task is to find eGenes or genes whose expressions are associated with at least one eQTL. The standard statistical method
