MjCyc: Rediscovering the pathway-genome landscape of the first sequenced archaeon, .

The genome of () DSM 2661 was the first Archaeal genome to be sequenced in 1996. Subsequent sequence-based annotation cycles led to its first metabolic reconstruction in 2005. Leveraging new experimental results and function assignments, we have now re-annotated creating an updated resource with novel information and testable predictions in a pathway-genome database available at BioCyc.

BioTextQuest v2.0: An evolved tool for biomedical literature mining and concept discovery.

The process of navigating through the landscape of biomedical literature and performing searches or combining them with bioinformatics analyses can be daunting, considering the exponential growth of scientific corpora and the plethora of tools designed to mine PubMed(®) and related repositories. Herein, we present BioTextQuest v2.0, a tool for biomedical literature mining.

scRNA-Explorer: An End-user Online Tool for Single Cell RNA-seq Data Analysis Featuring Gene Correlation and Data Filtering.

In the majority of downstream analysis pipelines for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), techniques like dimensionality reduction and feature selection are employed to address the problem of high-dimensional nature of the data. These approaches involve mapping the data onto a lower-dimensional space, eliminating less informative genes, and pinpointing the most pertinent features. This process ultimately leads to a reduction in the number of dimensions used for downstream analysis, which in turn speeds up the computation of large-scale scRNA-seq data.

CGG toolkit: Software components for computational genomics.

Public-domain availability for bioinformatics software resources is a key requirement that ensures long-term permanence and methodological reproducibility for research and development across the life sciences. These issues are particularly critical for widely used, efficient, and well-proven methods, especially those developed in research settings that often face funding discontinuities. We re-launch a range of established software components for computational genomics, as legacy version 1.

Dialysis Patients Respond Adequately to Influenza Vaccination Irrespective of Dialysis Modality and Chronic Inflammation.

(1) Background: Chronic inflammation and suboptimal immune responses to vaccinations are considered to be aspects of immune dysregulation in patients that are undergoing dialysis. The present study aimed to evaluate immune responses in hemodialysis (HD) and online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) patients to a seasonal inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine (IQIV). (2) Methods: We enrolled 172 chronic dialysis patients (87 on HD and 85 on OL-HDF) and 18 control subjects without chronic kidney disease in a prospective, cross-sectional cohort study.
