The generation of semantic environment representations is still an open problem in robotics. Most of the current proposals are based on metric representations, and incorporate semantic information in a supervised fashion. ...

Any robot should be provided with a proper representation of its environment in order to perform navigation and other tasks. In addition to metrical approaches, topological mapping generates graph representations in which ...

Advancements in genome sequencing have led to the rapid accumulation of uncharacterized ‘hypothetical proteins’ in the public databases. Here we provide a community perspective and some best-practice approaches for the ...

Through the combination of two popular approaches in the Digital Humanities – digital editions and semantic annotation – this tutorial will present simple ways to create, analyse and export semantic annotations from texts ...

Transposable elements are DNA sequences with the ability to auto-replicate and move that occupy large proportions of the host genome. TEs are responsible for shaping the genome size and are major drivers of gene regulation, ...

Web Service standards and ontologies represent the basic blocks forbuilding a world-wide network of computer-understandable resources.The process of linking Web Services to ontologies, a.k.a. annotation, hasbeen identified ...

Characterizing transcription start sites is essential for understanding the regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression. Recently, a new bovine genome assembly (ARS-UCD1.2) with high continuity, accuracy, and ...
