Abstract

Biotechnology is an area of great innovations that promises to have deep impact on everyday life thanks to profound changes in biology, medicine, and health care. This article will span from the description of the biochemical principles of molecular biology to the definition of the physics that supports the technology and to the devices and algorithms necessary to observe molecular events in a controlled, portable, and highly parallel manner. Throughout this discussion, constant attention will be given to the ultimate goals and applications of these innovations as well as to the related issues.

A probabilistic approach for automated discovery of perturbed genes using expression data from microarray or RNA-Seq

BackgroundIn complex diseases, alterations of multiple molecular and cellular components in response to perturbations are indicative of disease physiology. While expression level of genes from high-throughput analysis can vary among patients, the common ...
Functional interpretation of microRNA-mRNA association in biological systems using R

The prediction of microRNA targets is a challenging task that has given rise to several prediction algorithms. Databases of predicted targets can be used in a microRNA target enrichment analysis, enhancing our capacity to extract functional information ...
FactorY, a bioinformatic resource for genome-wide promoter analysis

The interpretation of the complex molecular descriptions generated by high-throughput gene expression technologies is still challenging. The development of new tools to identify common regulatory mechanisms involved in the control of the expression of a ...
