Opportunities and challenges in linking information across databases in pediatric cardiovascular medicine

Biochemical Databases : Challenges and Opportunities

Databases of intermediary metabolism, and indeed of biochemistry generally, ooer computational challenges and opportunities to reorganize biological knowledge to facilitate exploration. Here I consider a simple case, that of the classiication of enzymatic reactions, and show how the classiication could be automated and extended using deductive technology.

Managing Personal Information across Multiple Devices: Challenges and Opportunities

Due to the constantly increasing volume of personal information (PI) and the current trend towards mobile devices, there is a growing need to provide access to PI across multiple devices. It has become difficult for a user to manage his/her PI across these devices. The current hierarchical systems used to organize PI do not support accessing PI across multiple devices. The aim of this paper is ...

Challenges and Opportunities in Linking Long Noncoding RNAs to Cardiovascular, Lung, and Blood Diseases.

The new millennium heralds an unanticipated surge of genomic information, most notably an expansive class of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). These transcripts, which now outnumber all protein-coding genes, often exhibit the same characteristics as mRNAs (RNA polymerase II-dependent, 5' methyl-capped, multiexonic, polyadenylated); yet, they do not encode for stable, well-conserved proteins. Eluci...

Laboratory Medicine: Challenges and Opportunities

Technologic innovations have substantially improved the productivity of clinical laboratories, but the services provided by clinical laboratories are increasingly becoming commoditized. We reflect on how current developments may affect the future of laboratory medicine and how to deal with these changes. We argue that to be prepared for the future, clinical laboratories should enhance efficienc...
