Background: To date, women are most often diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV) using microscopy based Nugent scoring or Amsel criteria. However, the accuracy is less than optimal. The aim of the present study was to confirm the identity of known BV-associated composition profiles and evaluate indicators …

tIn this study we aimed to identify genes that are responsive to pertussis toxin (PTx) and might eventu-ally be used as biological markers in a testing strategy to detect residual PTx in vaccines. By microarrayanalysis we screened six human cell types (bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B, fetal lung …

In this article, we present CoPub 5.0, a publicly available text mining system, which uses Medline abstracts to calculate robust statistics for keyword co-occurrences. CoPub was initially developed for the analysis of microarray data, but we broadened the scope by implementing new technology and new …

Introduction: To reduce continuously increasing costs in drug development, adverse effects of drugs need to be detected as early as possible in the process. In recent years, compound-induced gene expression profiling methodologies have been developed to assess compound toxicity, including Gene Ontology …
