Overview of BITS2005, the Second Annual Meeting of the Italian Bioinformatics Society

Helmer-Citterich, Manuela, Casadio, Rita, Guffanti, Alessandro, Mauri, Giancarlo, Milanesi, Luciano, Pesole, Graziano, ...

The BITS2005 Conference brought together about 200 Italian scientists working in the field of Bioinformatics, students in Biology, Computer Science and Bioinformatics on March 17–19 2005, in Milan....

Exalign: a new method for comparative analysis of exon–intron gene structures

Pavesi, Giulio, Zambelli, Federico, Caggese, Corrado, Pesole, Graziano

The evolution of genes is usually studied and reconstructed at the sequence level, that is, by comparing and aligning their genomic, transcript or protein sequences. However, including the...

Pscan: finding over-represented transcription factor binding site motifs in sequences from co-regulated or co-expressed genes

Zambelli, Federico, Pesole, Graziano, Pavesi, Giulio

The first step in gene expression, transcription, is modulated by the interaction of transcription factors with their corresponding binding sites on the DNA sequence. Pscan is a software tool that...

Identification and functional characterization of two new transcriptional variants of the human p63 gene

Mangiulli, Marina, Valletti, Alessio, Caratozzolo, Mariano Francesco, Tullo, Apollonia, Sbisà, Elisabetta, Pesole, Graziano, ...

p63 belongs to a family of transcription factors, which, while demonstrating striking conservation of functional domains, regulate distinct biological functions. Its principal role is in the...
