Network approach identifies Pacer as an autophagy protein involved in ALS pathogenesis
(BMC, 2019)
BackgroundAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multifactorial fatal motoneuron disease without a cure. Ten percent of ALS cases can be pointed to a clear genetic cause, while the remaining 90% is classified as sporadic. ...
BioSmalltalk: a pure object system and library for bioinformatics
(Oxford University Press, 2013-09)
We have developed BioSmalltalk, a new environment system for pure object-oriented bioinformatics programming. Adaptive end-user programming systems tend to become more important for discovering biological knowledge, as is ...

Computational Biology in Costa Rica: the role of a small country in the global context of bioinformatics
(2008)
Introduction: The successful development of high throughput methods for DNA sequencing, transcriptomics, proteomics, and other –omics, has contributed to the emergence of novel possibilities for the examination of complex ...
Genome-wide circulating microRNA expression profiling reveals potential biomarkers for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018)
The occurrence of mutations of TDP-43, FUS, and C9ORF72 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) suggests pathogenic alterations to RNA metabolism and specifically to microRNA (miRNA) biology. Moreover, several ALS-related ...
