    Citation: BMC Systems Biology 2012 6(Suppl 2):S2
  2. One important application of microarray in clinical settings is for constructing a diagnosis or prognosis model. Batch effects are a well-known obstacle in this type of applications. Recently, a prominent stud...

    Citation: BMC Systems Biology 2012 6(Suppl 2):S3
  3. The discovery of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has important implications in a variety of genetic studies on human diseases and biological functions. One valuable approach proposed for SNP discovery i...

    Citation: BMC Systems Biology 2012 6(Suppl 2):S5
  4. Hot spots are residues contributing the most of binding free energy yet accounting for a small portion of a protein interface. Experimental approaches to identify hot spots such as alanine scanning mutagenesis...

    Citation: BMC Systems Biology 2012 6(Suppl 2):S6
  5. Proteins interact with other proteins or biomolecules in complexes to perform cellular functions. Existing protein-protein interaction (PPI) databases and protein complex databases for human proteins are not o...
