Networks are real systems modelled through mathematical objects made up of nodes and links arranged into peculiar and deliberate (or partially deliberate) topologies. Studying these real-world topologies allows for several properties of interest to be revealed. In real networks, nodes are also identified by a certain…

'Vincenzo Nicosia'] Integrating structural information and metadata, such as gender, social status, or interests, enriches networks and enables a better understanding of the large-scale structure of complex systems. However, existing approaches to augment networks with metadata for community detection only consider…

Background Increasingly large amounts of DNA sequencing data are being generated within the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI). The traditional file system struggles to handle these increasing amounts of sequence data. A good data management system therefore needs to be implemented and integrated into the current…

Background High-throughput genotyping technology has enabled cost effective typing of thousands of individuals in hundred of thousands of markers for use in genome wide studies. This vast improvement in data acquisition technology makes it an informatics challenge to efficiently store and manipulate the data. While…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) produce changes of status that are frequent, dynamic and unpredictable, and cannot be represented using a linear cause-effect approach. Consequently, a new approach is needed to handle these changes in order to support dynamic interoperability. Our approach is to introduce the notion of…

Phylogenetic trees are routinely visualized to present and interpret the evolutionary relationships of species. Virtually all empirical evolutionary data studies contain a visualization of the inferred tree with branch support values. Ambiguous semantics in tree file formats can lead to erroneous tree visualizations…

Modern genomics produces billions of sequencing records per run, which are typically stored as gzip-compressed FASTQ files. While this format is widely used, it is not optimal for high-throughput processing due to its reliance on single-threaded decompression and sequential parsing of irregularly sized records. This…

Scientific communities have recognized the importance of well-documented metadata generated during research. However, ensuring that metadata is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) remains a significant challenge. To address this, scientific communities are working towards making metadata available…

Phylogenetic networks construction is one the most important challenge in phylogenetics. These networks can present complex non-treelike events such as gene flow, horizontal gene transfers, recombination or hybridizations. Among phylogenetic networks, rooted structures are commonly used to represent the evolutionary…

Dramatic increases in data produced by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies demand data compression tools for saving storage space. However, effective and efficient data compression for genome sequencing data has remained an unresolved challenge in NGS data studies. In this paper, we propose a novel…

The explosive growth of digital data is overwhelming conventional storage media, creating an urgent need for more efficient solutions. DNA offers immense potential for digital data storage, yet most systems remain static and archival. Here, we present a modular DNA storage architecture based on dynamic DNA bytes…

We present bedtk, a new toolkit for manipulating genomic intervals in the BED format. It supports sorting, merging, intersection, subtraction and the calculation of the breadth of coverage. Bedtk employs implicit interval tree, a new data structure for fast interval overlap queries. It is several to tens of times…
