Caenorhabditis elegans is a small nematode that can be maintained at low cost and
handled using standard in vitro techniques. Unlike toxicity testing using cell cultures, C …

Technological advances over the past decade have unraveled the remarkable complexity of
RNA. The identification of small peptides encoded by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as …

Advancements in comparative genomics research have led to a growing interest in studying
species evolution and genetic diversity. To facilitate this research, OrthoVenn3 has been …

Motivation Genome sequencing projects have revealed frequent gains and losses of genes
between species. Previous versions of our software, Computational Analysis of gene Family …

Small open reading frames (smORFs) of 100 codons or fewer are usually—if arbitrarily—
excluded from proteome annotations. Despite this, the genomes of many metazoans …

During the past three decades, mice, zebrafish, fruit flies, and Caenorhabditis elegans have
been the primary model organisms used for the study of various biological phenomena …

In Darwin's and Mendel's times, researchers investigated a wealth of organisms, chosen to
solve particular problems for which they seemed especially well suited. Later, a focus on a …

With the increase in the ageing population, neurodegenerative disease is devastating to
families and poses a huge burden on society. The brain and spinal cord are extraordinarily …

Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most well studied genetic model organisms;
nonetheless, its genome still contains unannotated coding and non-coding genes …

The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development,
physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international …
