Welcome to BMC Bioinformatics published by BioMed Central
BMC Bioinformatics is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of the development, testing and novel application of computational and statistical methods for the modeling and analysis of all kinds of biological data, as well as other areas of computational biology. BMC Bioinformatics (ISSN 1471-2105) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, EMBASE, Scopus, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Combining sequence and structural information can be used successfully to predict substrate specificity of members of the acyl:CoA synthetase family, while using homology for the same task proves difficult due to great diversity within the family.

BMC Bioinformatics 2009, 10:447
Next generation sequencing technologies have resulted in an explosion of transcriptome projects in non-model organisms and est2assembly is a useful tool for the assembly, annotation, analysis and visualization of such data.

With the advent of more complete genomes BLAST has been re-written to include a new set of command line searches and a new modular structure, giving substantial speed improvements for long queries and an improved user interface.
BMC Bioinformatics 2009, 10:402
Double filtering using fold change and t test to find differentially expressed genes loses power due to differing assumptions about variance, whereas combining Bayesian mixture models with SAM approaches the performance of the theoretically best likelihood ratio test statistic.
