Incubation determines favorable microbial communities in Chinese alligator nests
Nest materials are a major heat source due to rotting promoted by microbial activity. Additionally, they are a potential microbial source given their direct contact with eggshells.

MMpred: functional miRNA – mRNA interaction analyses by miRNA expression prediction [PDF]
Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) directed gene repression is an important mechanism of posttranscriptional regulation. Comprehensive analyses of how microRNA influence biological processes requires paired miRNA-mRNA expression datasets.

miRDB: An online database for prediction of functional microRNA targets [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that act as master regulators in many biological processes. miRNAs function mainly by downregulating the expression of their gene targets.

Netter: re-ranking gene network inference predictions using structural network properties [PDF]
Background: Many algorithms have been developed to infer the topology of gene regulatory networks from gene expression data. These methods typically produce a ranking of links between genes with associated confidence scores, after which a certain ...

Gene prediction: compare and CONTRAST [PDF]
CONTRAST, a new gene-prediction algorithm that uses sophisticated machine-learning techniques, has pushed de novo prediction accuracy to new heights, and has significantly closed the gap between de novo and evidence-based methods for human genome annotation.

SIFTER search: a web server for accurate phylogeny-based protein function prediction. [PDF]
We are awash in proteins discovered through high-throughput sequencing projects. As only a minuscule fraction of these have been experimentally characterized, computational methods are widely used for automated annotation.
