Scientists-trio from Julius Kühn-Institute Quedlinburg and Halle University was recently recognized for developing a top performing model to predict transcription factor binding sites in the genome. The bioinformaticians had participated in an international crowdsourced competition.
The DREAM Challenge-jury voted the contribution from the three Germans amongst the top two in the world out of 34 proposals. Jens Keilwagen (JKI), Jan Grau and Stefan Posch (both University of Halle) have been invited to present their method and findings at an important conference in Phoenix, Arizona. Also their work is scheduled to be published in Cell-Magazine. Only one other team from Russia was given the same opportunity. Both teams have time till January to refine their methods. There will not be a winner. Since it is a crowdsourced competition Bioinformatics as science and the scientific community will be the overall winner.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
