Publication: Querying neXtProt nanopublications and their value for insights on sequence variants and tissue expression

On June 12, 2014, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Querying neXtProt nanopublications and their value for insights on sequence variants and tissue expression

Understanding how genetic differences between individuals impact the regulation, expression, and ultimately function of proteins is an important step toward realizing the promise of personal medicine. There are several technical barriers hindering the transition of biological knowledge into the applications relevant to precision medicine. One important challenge for data integration…

Publication: A Knowledge-Driven Approach to Extract Disease-Related Biomarkers from the Literature

On April 16, 2014, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: A Knowledge-Driven Approach to Extract Disease-Related Biomarkers from the Literature

The biomedical literature represents a rich source of biomarker information. However, both the size of literature databases and their lack of standardization hamper the automatic exploitation of the information contained in these resources. Text mining approaches have proven to be useful for the exploitation of information contained in the scientific…

Publication: Transporter taxonomy – a comparison of different transport protein classification schemes

On April 5, 2014, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Transporter taxonomy – a comparison of different transport protein classification schemes

Currently, there are more than 800 well characterized human membrane transport proteins (including channels and transporters) and there are estimates that about 10% (approx. 2000) of all human genes are related to transport. Membrane transport proteins are of interest as potential drug targets, for drug delivery, and as a cause…

Publication: Transporter assays and assay ontologies: useful tools for drug discovery

Transport proteins represent an eminent class of drug targets and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity) associated genes. There exists a large number of distinct activity assays for transport proteins, depending on not only the measurement needed (e.g. transport activity, strength of ligand–protein interaction), but also due to heterogeneous assay…
