ID mapping is a very common, and often not fun, task for every bioinformatician. Suppose you have a list of gene symbols or reporter ids from an upstream analysis, and then your next analysis requires the use of gene IDs (e.g. Entrez gene IDs or Ensembl gene IDs)....

As part of building the case for creating our proposed CMOD resource, we wanted to know just how quickly the number of sequenced genomes was increasing. The thinking is that the more genomes are being sequenced, the more genomes there are that are going with virtually...

I have a simple question. Say that I have the results from a gene expression analysis done in my laboratory or pulled from a public repository. Say the sample has something to do with cancer (or I think that it might). Say I read about so called...

Bioinformatics web developers often face one common problem — adding a search box that allows users to type a gene, which then directs them to a gene-specific resource page. To implement this feature, developers need to maintain a gene annotation database of...
