Background: Visualization software can expose previously undiscovered patterns in genomic data and advance biological science. Results: The Genoviz Software Development K[...]

The advent of next-generation sequencing has resulted in transcriptome-based approaches to investigate functionally significant biological components in a variety of non-[...]

Background Echinoderms are a phylum of marine invertebrates with close phylogenetic relationships to chordates. Many members of the phylum Echinodermata are capable of ex[...]

Background Echinoderms are established models in experimental and developmental biology, however genomic resources are still lacking for many species. Here, we present th[...]

Background: Blueberries are a rich source of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that can protect against disease. Identifying genes involved in synthesis of bioa[...]

Salmonella Enteritidis became the main serovar isolated from gastroenteritis cases in Brazil after the 90's. In this study we used whole genome sequence analysis to deter[...]

The genetic basis of phenotypic differences between species is a longstanding question in evolutionary biology. How new genes form and selection acts to produce differenc[...]

We applied a novel strategy to infer sequence circularity and complete assembly of four mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of the frog families Bufonidae (Melanophrynisc[...]

A dv ances in affordable transcriptome sequencing combined with better exon and gene prediction has motivated many to compare transcription across the tree of lif e. W e [...]

Genomic instability is a key driving force for the development and progression of many neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system (CNS) cancers. The initiation[...]
