APPRIS 2017: principal isoforms for multiple gene sets
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-10-23)
Article
Open AccessThe APPRIS database (http://appris-tools.org) uses protein structural and functional features and information from cross-species conservation to annotate splice isoforms in protein-coding genes. APPRIS selects a single ... -
Artificial intelligence in cancer research: learning at different levels of data granularity
(Wiley, 2021)
Article
Open AccessFrom genome-scale experimental studies to imaging data, behavioral footprints, and longitudinal healthcare records, the convergence of big data in cancer research and the advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is paving ... -
Artificial Intelligence–Aided Precision Medicine for COVID-19: Strategic Areas of Research and Development
(JMIR Publications, 2021-03)
Article

Assessing the accuracy of contact and distance predictions in CASP14
(Wiley, 2021)
Article
Open AccessWe present the results of the assessment of the intramolecular residue–residue contact and distance predictions from groups participating in the 14th round of the CASP experiment. The performance of contact prediction ... -
Automatic identification of informative regions with epigenomic changes associated to hematopoiesis
(Oxford University Press, 2017-09-19)
Article
Open AccessHematopoiesis is one of the best characterized biological systems but the connection between chromatin changes and lineage differentiation is not yet well understood. We have developed a bioinformatic workflow to generate ... -
BioFVM-X: an MPI+OpenMP 3-D simulator for biological systems
(Springer, 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessMulti-scale simulations require parallelization to address large-scale problems, such as real-sized tumor simulations. BioFVM is a software package that solves diffusive transport Partial Differential Equations for 3-D ... -
ChiPPI: a novel method for mapping chimeric protein–protein interactions uncovers selection principles of protein fusion events in cancer
(Oxford University Press, 2017-05-26)
Article
Open AccessFusion proteins, comprising peptides deriving from the translation of two parental genes, are produced in cancer by chromosomal aberrations. The expressed fusion protein incorporates domains of both parental proteins. Using ... -
Chromatin network markers of leukemia
(Oxford University Press, 2020-07)
Article
Open AccessMotivation The structure of chromatin impacts gene expression. Its alteration has been shown to coincide with the occurrence of cancer. A key challenge is in understanding the role of chromatin structure (CS) in cellular ... -
Comparison of algorithms for the detection of cancer drivers at subgene resolution
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08)
Article
Open AccessUnderstanding genetic events that lead to cancer initiation and progression remains one of the biggest challenges in cancer biology. Traditionally, most algorithms for cancer-driver identification look for genes that have ... -
COVID19 Disease Map, a computational knowledge repository of virus–host interaction mechanisms
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-10-21)
Article
Open AccessWe need to effectively combine the knowledge from surging literature with complex datasets to propose mechanistic models of SARS-CoV-2 infection, improving data interpretation and predicting key targets of intervention. ... -

Article
Open AccessSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent of COVID-19, is considered a zoonotic pathogen mainly transmitted human to human. Few reports indicate that pets may be exposed to the ... -
Epigenetic and Transcriptional Variability Shape Phenotypic Plasticity
(Wiley, 2017-12-18)
Article
Open AccessEpigenetic and transcriptional variability contribute to the vast diversity of cellular and organismal phenotypes and are key in human health and disease. In this review, we describe different types, sources, and determinants ... -
From comorbidities to gene expression fingerprints and back
(Barcelona Supercomputing Center, 2021-05)
Conference report
Open AccessEpidemiological evidence shows that some diseases tend to co-occur more than expected by chance and that patientspecific trends are observed. However, the molecular processes underlying these phenomena remain unclear. Here ... -
