Computational scientists and cancer experts have devised bioinformatics software to evaluate how well current strategies distinguish cancer-promoting mutations from benign mutations in cancer cells.

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines biology, computer science, mathematics, and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. It involves the development and application ...

When a tree dies, it forms the foundation for new life: In a slow, invisible process, leaves, wood and roots are gradually decomposed—not by wind or weather, but by millions and millions of tiny ...

In what is being cited as a step towards personalized medicine, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and IrsiCaixa have developed a bioinformatics method to predict the effects of mutation on the ...

The Bioinformatics Core develops and supports computational and bioinformatics methods and tools to assess, monitor, track and disseminate all variant and model information to center staff and ...

This seminar series is developed and sponsored by the UAB Department of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science (DBIDS). It educates individuals on research innovations in biomedical informatics. The ...

In their search for new ways to treat cancer, many scientists are using a high-tech process called genome sequencing to hunt for genetic mutations that encourage tumor cells to thrive. To aid in this ...
