Genomics

Genomics

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Area of Science:

Bioinformatics
Computational Biology
Life Sciences

Background:

PubMed Central is a major archive for open access, peer-reviewed life sciences research.
Accessing and integrating metadata from full-text articles into biological databases is challenging.
Existing workflows require users to search multiple locations for linked information.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop BioLit, a web server providing semantic metadata for life sciences articles.
To enable direct integration of scientific publications into biological databases.
To streamline information retrieval for researchers and biocurators.

Main Methods:

BioLit extracts database identifiers and ontology terms from full-text articles.
Metadata is delivered via XML-based article files and a custom web-based viewer.
Demonstrated integration with the Protein Data Bank as a use case.

Main Results:

BioLit provides structured metadata describing the semantic content of open access articles.
A web-based viewer offers context-specific functionality for metadata.
XML files and a database of article data are available for biocurators.

Conclusions:

BioLit facilitates the integration of scientific publications with biological databases.
This resource reduces the need for redundant searches across multiple platforms.
BioLit serves life scientists through its viewer and biocurators via metadata files.
