What can I do with it? You can search using gene annotations to find out about the expression of your favourite gene(s) in normal, untreated conditions, and also in various experimental conditions. You can also search using sample attributes, to find out which genes are expressed in a particular tissue, e.g. human kidney, or which genes show interesting expression patterns under a certain exper...

What is the DGVa? The Database of Genomic Variants archive [2] (DGVa) is a public catalogue of structural variation found in the genomes of individuals within a species. Why do we need the DGVa? In recent years there have been unprecedented advances in the technologies that characterise genomic variation, and it is well known that variation at the single nucleotide level is abundant across the ...

Quantum mechanics is a mathematical model of the physical world, which is built on a small number of postulates, each of which makes a particular claim on how the model reflects physical reality. All the rest of the theory can be derived from these postulates, but the postulates themselves cannot be proved in the mathematical sense. One has to make experiments and see whether the predictions of...

ChEBI [3], EMBL-EBI’s database of Chemical Entities of Biological Interest, is a freely available, manually annotated database of small molecular entities (molecules not encoded by the genome, Figure 1). These could include any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, radical ion [4], complex, conformer [5], or anything else that is a separately distingu...

The paper advocates the use of a statistical tool dedicated to the exploration of data samples populated by several sources of events. This new technique, called sP lot, is able to unfold the contributions of the different sources to the distribution of a data sample in a given variable. The sP lot tool applies in the context of a Likelihood fit which is performed on the data sample to determin...

The BioSamples Database aggregates information for reference samples (such as cell lines or stock strains), as well as samples for which data exist in one of the EBI's other data resources (e.g. ArrayExpress [2], the European Nucleotide Archive [3], PRIDE [4]). Samples are described with a set of annotations. These annotations can be linked to ontology [5] (or controlled vocabulary [6]) terms, ...
