"The Omics Gateway: Making sense of large data

With a new look and improved functionality, the Omics Gateway just made it easier to keep up with the latest developments in large-scale and high-throughput studies. The Omics Gateway gives you access and updates to the most important papers in data-driven biological research, as well as free access to highlight articles – all in one comprehensive site. We’ve compiled all the information and made it easier for you to browse by subject or by organisms with our virtual “Tree of life”.

BioData Mining — New Open Access Journal by BioMed Central

"Open access publisher BioMed Central, US, has announced the launch of a new open access journal – BioData Mining. Dr Jesus Aguilar-Ruiz of the Pablo De Olavide University and Dr Jason H. Moore of the Dartmouth Medical School will serve as Editors-in-Chief of the journal. They will be supported by an expert Editorial Board.

BioData Mining publishes original articles on all aspects of data mining applied to high-dimensional biological and biomedical data, focusing on computational aspects of knowledge discovery from large-scale genetic, transcriptomic, genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data. As well as being open access, the journal also operates an open peer review process, which the editors hope will foster constructive reviews and therefore enrich the criticism.

All BioData Mining articles are archived in PubMed Central, the US National Library of Medicine’s full-text repository of life science literature, and also in repositories at the University of Potsdam in Germany, at INIST in France and in e-Depot, the National Library of the Netherlands’ digital archive of all electronic publications. The journal is also participating in the British Library’s e-journals pilot project, and plans to deposit copies of all articles with the British Library."
