Extended abstracts of the articles included in this series were first selected for the CAMDA Satellite Meeting to ISMB 2018 by the CAMDA Programme Committee. Before publication in Biology Direct the full articles underwent a process of open peer review, overseen by guest editors.
Guest Editors: Joaquin Dopazo, David P Kreil, and Paweł P Łabaj
Articles will be added to the series throughout the year.
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major concern in drug development, as hepatotoxicity may not be apparent at early stages but can lead to life threatening consequences. The ability to predict DILI from in...
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious concern during drug development and the treatment of human disease. The ability to accurately predict DILI risk could yield significant improvements in drug attrit...
Nowadays, not only are single genomes commonly analyzed, but also metagenomes, which are sets of, DNA fragments (reads) derived from microbes living in a given environment. Metagenome analysis is aimed at extr...
Accumulating evidence suggests that the human microbiome impacts individual and public health. City subway systems are human-dense environments, where passengers often exchange microbes. The MetaSUB project pa...
The availability of hundreds of city microbiome profiles allows the development of increasingly accurate predictors of the origin of a sample based on its microbiota composition. Typical microbiome studies inv...
Research has found that human associated microbial communities play a role in homeostasis and the disruption of these communities may be important in an array of medical conditions. However outside of the huma...
Metagenomics is the application of modern genomic techniques to investigate the members of a microbial community directly in their natural environments and is widely used in many studies to survey the communit...
Metagenomic data of whole genome sequences (WGS) from samples across several cities around the globe may unravel city specific signatures of microbes. Illumina MiSeq sequencing data was provided from 12 cities...
Recent technological evolutions have led to an exponential increase in data in all the omics fields. It is expected that integration of these different data sources, will drastically enhance our knowledge of t...
Integrating the rich information from multi-omics data has been a popular approach to survival prediction and bio-marker identification for several cancer studies. To facilitate the integrative analysis of mul...
