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 computational methods used in the analysis and annotation of sequences and structures, as well as all other areas of computational biology.
BMC Bioinformatics (ISSN 1471-2105) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9 :558
A new interface, SPRINT, allows statistical analyses written in the R programming language to be run on high performance computing systems without the need for specialist programming to exploit parallel processors.
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9 :557
SimHap GUI can integrate epidemiological, single nucleotide polymorphism and haplotype-based genetic association analyses through a graphical user interface, making it accessible to both novice and advanced users as a free alternative to commercially available packages.
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9 :528
Gene Prospector, an online software tool that collates information from the ever-growing scientific literature on the human genome, enables the exploration of how inherited genetic variation and genetic interactions contribute to disease.
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9 :514
The ElliPro software predicts and visualizes B-cell epitopes by implementing Thorntons simple method that uses geometrical properties of protein structures, outperforming six other structure-based methods without needing any training.
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9 :483
mtDNAmanager allows the management and quality analysis of mitochondrial DNA data by analyzing control-region sequences, providing a valuable software tool for population genetics, medicine and forensics.
