BMC Medicine 2013, 11:12Identifying high-risk hematuria patients
High-risk hematuria patients can be identified by grouping together patients using hierarchical clustering based on biomarker data, which may allow more accurate and timely diagnosis during triage for patients with serious diseases.
News and events
Integrative Omics and Applied Biotechnology, a new, open-access journal is now accepting submissions
This is a society journal from the Institute of Integrative Omics and Applied Biotechnology. In this post-omics era there is a strong need to combine efforts in omics technologies. Multiple analysis is required to give an integrative picture of biological phenomena in order to successfully meet challenges in high-throughput screening, predictions and drug discovery. Ongoing dialogue between the fields of omics and biotechnology is crucial for future research and development in biology.
Topics considered include genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, cellomics, kinomics, integrative omics, and synthetic and systems biology.
Gigascience - A new open access journal from BioMed Central and BGI
GigaScience, an innovative new journal being launched by BioMed Central and BGI, is now accepting submissions. Edited by Dr Laurie Goodman, GigaScience publishes research relating to biological 'big-data' studies, whilst promoting an integrated database to enable rapid release and permanency of data, and providing a forum for dealing with the difficulties of handling such large-scale data.
Submit your manuscript online, and receive updates on this innovative journal's activities and publications by signing up for alerts.
