INTRODUCTION — Some New Results and Tools for Protein Function Prediction, RNA Target Site Prediction, Genotype Calling, Environmental Genomics, and More

摘要

This issue of the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology containsnsix original research articles presenting new results and tools for a wide variety ofnbioinformatics problems. In addition, it contains a review on some recently releasednfree bioinformatics software packages and a tutorial on data-driven normalizationnstrategies for miRNA qPCR data. A brief introduction to these works is givennbelow.
