Earlier this week Birmingham City FC's co-owner David Sullivan and managing director Karren Brady were arrested and questioned about allegations of false accounting and conspiracy to defraud. They are just the latest high profile figures to be questioned in an
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archibishop Desmond Tutu is in the Twin Cities for a series of events centered around promoting peace among young people. He spoke to a capacity crowd in Minneapolis this morning, saying young people bring about important
On Friday, April 18, NASA Deputy Administrator Shana Dale will present the keynote address to launch a daylong event at the University of Miami's BankUnited Center celebrating the space agency's 50th birthday.

Taverna is an application that eases the integration of tools and databases for life science research by the construction of workflows. The Taverna Interaction Service extends the functionality of Taverna by defining human interaction within a workflow and acting as
Using literature databases one can find not only known and true relations between processes but also less studied, non-obvious associations. The main problem with discovering such type of relevant biological information is 'selection’. The ability to distinguish between a true
The conventional approach to calculating biomolecular structures from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data is often viewed as subjective due to its dependence on rules of thumb for deriving geometric constraints and suitable values for theory parameters from noisy experimental data.
In recent years there has been much development of the fundamental ideas underlying mathematical model curation in regard to models of biology. While much has been achieved in the realms of systems biology and bioinformatics, little progress has been made
We present In silico Biochemical Reaction Network Analysis (IBRENA), a software package which facilitates multiple functions including cellular reaction network simulation and sensitivity analysis (both forward and adjoint methods), coupled with principal component analysis, singular-value decomposition and model reduction. The
In family-based genetic studies, it is often useful to identify a subset of unrelated individuals. When such studies are conducted in population isolates, however, most if not all individuals are often detectably related to each other. To identify a set
We describe PerlMAT, a Perl microarray toolkit providing easy to use object-oriented methods for the simplified manipulation, management and analysis of microarray data. The toolkit provides objects for the encapsulation of microarray spots and reporters, several common microarray data file
The IntAct repository is one of the largest and most widely used databases for the curation and storage of molecular interaction data. These datasets need to be analyzed by computational methods. Software packages in the statistical environment R provide powerful
Finding a good network null model for protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is a fundamental issue. Such a model would provide insights into the interplay between network structure and biological function as well as into evolution. Also, network (graph) models are
