Web Server 2016

2016 Web Server Issue
The papers in the 2016 Web Server Issue reflect current and emerging trends in bioinformatics and computational biology research. Of particular interest are recent works which move beyond an understanding of bio-molecular phenomena toward an emphasis on the development of engineering tools to exploit that understanding. Examples include CRISPR modification of DNA sequences, functional design of RNA, antibody, and protein structures, and adaptation of metabolic pathways for use as molecular sensors. Also of interest is the maturing of the field of genome annotation which is accompanying the large-scale sequencing and assembly of thousands of non-reference genomes. Other articles cover topics such as biomolecular structure, intermolecular binding, data visualisation and more...
