MetNetAligner: a web service tool for metabolic network alignments (2009)
Cheng, Qiong, Harrison, Robert, Zelikovsky, Alexander
Summary: The accumulation of high-throughput genomic, proteomic and metabolical data allows for increasingly accurate modeling and reconstruction of metabolic networks. Alignment of the reconstructed...
iC2mpi: A Platform for Parallel Execution of Graph-Structured Iterative Computations (2008)
Harnish Botadra, Qiong Cheng, Sushil K. Prasad
Parallelization of sequential programs is often daunting because of the substantial development cost involved. Various solutions have been proposed to address this concern, including directive-based...
Mapping and Filling Metabolic Pathways (2008)
Qiong Cheng, Dipendra Kaur, Robert Harrison, Er Zelikovsky
Abstract. Network mappings are extensively used for comparing, exploring, and predicting biological networks, are essential for pathway database search and also helpful for finding and filling...
Qiong Cheng, Robert Harrison, Er Zelikovsky
Network mapping is a convenient tool for comparing and exploring biological networks; it can be used for predicting unknown pathways, fast and meaningful searching of databases, and potentially...
Optimal mapping of multi source trees into dag in biological network (2007)
Abstract. The effective and efficient prediction and reconstruction of biological networks for a variety of inter-species and intra-species organisms have been a challenging research topic in...
Kostichka, Kristy, Thomas, Stuart M., Gibson, Katharine J., Nagarajan, Vasantha, Cheng, Qiong
Biological oxidation of cyclic ketones normally results in formation of the corresponding dicarboxylic acids, which are further metabolized in the cell. Rhodococcus ruber strain SC1 was isolated from...
Cheng, Qiong, Thomas, Stuart M., Kostichka, Kristy, Valentine, James R., Nagarajan, Vasantha
Biological oxidation of cyclic alcohols normally results in formation of the corresponding dicarboxylic acids, which are further metabolized and enter the central carbon metabolism in the cell. We...
Novel Carotenoid Oxidase Involved in Biosynthesis of 4,4′-Diapolycopene Dialdehyde
Tao, Luan, Schenzle, Andreas, Odom, J. Martin, Cheng, Qiong
Biosynthesis of C30 carotenoids is relatively restricted in nature but has been described in Staphylococcus and in methylotrophic bacteria. We report here identification of a novel gene (crtNb)...
Diversity of Carotenoid Synthesis Gene Clusters from Environmental Enterobacteriaceae Strains
Sedkova, Natalia, Tao, Luan, Rouvière, Pierre E., Cheng, Qiong
Eight Enterobacteriaceae strains that produce zeaxanthin and derivatives of this compound were isolated from a variety of environmental samples. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these strains...
