Advances in computation have been enabling many recent advances in biomolecular
applications of NMR. Due to the wide diversity of applications of NMR, the number and …

High-throughput technologies, such as next-generation sequencing, have turned molecular
biology into a data-intensive discipline, requiring bioinformaticians to use high-performance …

Nowadays, biomedicine is characterised by a growing need for processing of large amounts
of data in real time. This leads to new requirements for information and communication …

Metagenomic studies are becoming increasingly widespread, yielding important insights
into microbial communities covering diverse environments from terrestrial to aquatic …

Portable sequencing machines, such as the Oxford Nanopore MinION, are making the
genome sequencing ubiquitous. This can be particularly interesting for identifying specific …

Cloud computing is a common platform for delivering software to end users. However, the
process of making complex-to-deploy applications available across different cloud providers …

This manuscript introduces and describes Dugong, a Docker image based on Ubuntu 16.04,
which automates installation of more than 3500 bioinformatics tools (along with their …

Transketolase (TKT) is part of the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway
(PPP). Here we describe the impact of removing this enzyme from the pathogenic protozoan …

We discuss the applicability of the Microsoft cloud computing platform, Azure, for
bioinformatics. We focus on the usability of the resource rather than its performance. We …

Background The introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized
molecular diagnostics, though several challenges remain limiting the widespread adoption …
