Ontology-oriented retrieval of putative microRNAs in Vitis viniferavia GrapeMiRNA: a web database of de novopredicted grape microRNAs (2009)

Lazzari, Barbara, Caprera, Andrea, Cestaro, Alessandro, Merelli, Ivan, Del Corvo, Marcello, Fontana, Paolo, ...

Abstract Background Two complete genome sequences are available for Vitis vinifera Pinot noir. Based on the sequence and gene predictions produced by the IASMA, we performed an in silico detection of...

Habitat association of Orthoptera in El Cimatario National Park, Querétaro, México (2008)

Paolo Fontana, Lorenzo Marini, Armando Equihua-Martínez, Julio Sánchez-Escudero, Jorge Valdez-Carrasco, ...

Orthopteran community composition varies with habitat quality. The distribution of Orthoptera species depends primarily on which vegetation type provides food resources and habitat. For insight into...

FOX (FOld eXtractor): A novel protein fold recognition method using iterative PSI-BLAST searches and structural alignments (2008)

Paolo Fontana, Riccardo Velasco, Giorgio Valle

We present a novel fold recognition method based on the combination of detailed sequence searches and structural information. Presently the protocol implements two different approaches to assign the...

Genome-wide transcriptional analysis of grapevine berry ripening reveals a set of genes similarly modulated during three seasons and the occurrence of an oxidative burst at vèraison (2007)

Pilati, Stefania, Perazzolli, Michele, Malossini, Andrea, Cestaro, Alessandro, Demattè, Lorenzo, Fontana, Paolo, ...

Abstract Background Grapevine ( Vitis species) is among the most important fruit crops in terms of cultivated area and economic impact. Despite this relevance, little is known about the...

Validation of CFS classification with different data sources (2006)

Bassetti, Marco, Bernabe’, Massimiliano, Borile, Manuel, Desilvestro, Cesare, Fedrizzi, Tarcisio, Giordani, Alessandra, ...

The difference between patients with CFS patient and healthy ones could, in principle, be detected by examining a variety of data. We systematically used the CAMDA 2006 available data sets in order...

The SSEA server for protein secondary structure alignment (2005)

Fontana, Paolo, Bindewald, Eckart, Toppo, Stefano, Velasco, Riccardo, Valle, Giorgio, Tosatto, Silvio C. E.

Summary: We present a web server that computes alignments of protein secondary structures. The server supports both performing pairwise alignments and searching a secondary structure against a...

TRAIT (TRAnscript Integrated Table): a knowledgebase of human skeletal muscle transcripts (2003)

Toppo, Stefano, Cannata, Nicola, Fontana, Paolo, Romualdi, Chiara, Laveder, Paolo, Bertocco, Emanuela, ...

Summary: TRAIT is a knowledgebase integrating information on transcripts with related data from genome, proteins, ortholog genes and diseases. It was initially built as a system to manage an...
