多年平均降水资源空间变化模拟方法的研究

区域多年平均降水量的研究是集水农业工程规划的基础,也是有限的降水资源合理利用和配置的依据。研究利用ＡＲＣ／ＩＮＦＯ地理信息系统,建立了研究区的栅格数字高程模型（ＤＥＭ）及近３０年的年均降水量空间数据库;采用９种算法（距离权重法、趋势面法、样条函数法、普通Ｋｒｉｇｉｎｇ法、通用Ｋｒｉｇｉｎｇ方法１、通用Ｋｒｉｇｉｎｇ方法２、泰森多边形法、多元回归法和综合方法）,计算并比较分析了研究区多年平均降水量的     

Assessment of aquatic and terrestrial reed (Phragmites australis) stands

A survey of recent publications shows that research on Phragmites australishas oftenapplied character because of the considerableecological and economic significance of the species.The main applications are water treatment, agriculture(food production or weed control) and natureconservation. In Europe, most research on natural reedstands has been motivated by reed die-back and effortstowards protection or restoration. Reed progressionand reed control have been the main concerns in otherparts of the world, and reed progression has alsoreceived increasing attention in Europe. While reeddie-back generally affects aquatic stands, progressioncan occur at both terrestrial and aquatic sites, andit can be desired (e.g. lake shore restoration)or unwanted (e.g. in species-rich fens ormarshes). Therefore, reed stands need to be assessedindividually to decide on management aims andappropriate methods. The varying status of Phragmites australisformed the background of the`European Reed Conference' held in Zürich/Switzerlandin October 1998. The seven contributions published inthis special issue are introduced with particularreference to differences between aquatic andterrestrial reed stands and to approaches used in theirassessment.

A survey of the availability of primary bioinformatics web resources

The explosive growth of the bioinformatics field has led to a large amount of data and software applications publicly available as web resources. However, the lack of persistence of web references is a barrier to a comprehensive shared access. We conducted a study of the current availability and other features of primary bioinforo matics web resources （such as software tools and databases）. The majority （95%） of the examined bioinformatics web resources were found running on UNIX/Linux operating systems, and the most widely used web server was found to be Apache （or Apache-related products）. Of the overall 1,130 Uniform Resource Locators （URLs） examined, 91% were highly available （more than 90% of the time）, while only 4% showed low accessibility （less than 50% of the time） during the survey. Furthermore, the most common URL failure modes are presented and analyzed.     

U7 snRNAs： A Computational Survey

U7 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) sequences have been described only for a handful of animal species in the past. Here we describe a computational search for func- tional U7 snRNA genes throughout vertebrates including the upstream sequence elements characteristic for snRNAs transcribed by polymerase Ⅱ. Based on the results of this search, we discuss the high variability of U7 snRNAs in both se- quence and structure, and report on an attempt to find U7 snRNA sequences in basal deuterostomes and non-drosophilids insect genomes based on a combination of sequence, structure, and promoter features. Due to the extremely short se- quence and the high variability in both sequence and structure, no unambiguous candidates were found. These results cast doubt on putative U7 homologs in even more distant organisms that are reported in the most recent release of the Rfam database.

VitisMod:一个葡萄基因共表达数据库

葡萄转录组已在各种组织、发育阶段、生物胁迫、非生物胁迫和其他条件下被测定。目前,仍没有简单实用的网络工具来探索这些宝贵的数据。本文从美国国立生物技术信息中心的基因表达数据库(NCBI GEO)下载1019个基因表达芯片数据,进行权重基因共表达网络分析(WGCNA)。鉴定到41个基因共表达模块。功能富集分析发现这些模块具有不同的功能,并与实验/表型相关。通过模块内连接度筛选枢纽基因,这些基因可能具有重要功能。通过关联推定(Guilt-by-association)原理对模块内功能未知的基因进行功能预测。最后,构建了免费的网络工具VitisMod,为葡萄的基因功能研究提供新资源,网址为：http://bioinformatics.fafu.edu.cn/grape。     

Tools for assessing European streams with macroinvertebrates: major results and conclusions from the STAR project

This short paper summarises the information developed in the EU funded research project STAR on autecology databases, metrics, multimetrics and community approaches. For Europe the WFD implementation gave an important stimulus for the development of ecology based assessment techniques. Along with the development of metrics and multimetrics indices taxalists and autecological information were strongly improved. Recommendations are given to further develop ecological assessment in European streams and rivers.     

NCBI的数据库资源及其应用

NCBI是美国的一个大型生物信息学系统,它主要通过NCBI网站为全世界的科学家服务,它拥有GenBank,RefSeq,UniGene,dbSNP等等多种大型生物学数据库,并且提供了多种数据库查询工具,如：Entrez,PubMed,LocusLink,TaxonomyBrowser等等,以及多种数据库分析资源,对于我们查询文献,人类基因组信息、基因表达、蛋白质结构、肿瘤遗传信息,以及不同种属遗传信息等等有非常大的帮助。是一个非常重要的生物医学资源。     

直系同源基因的识别方法与数据库

直系同源(orthology)是指由于物种形成事件而享有共同祖先的基因之间的关系,直系同源基因之间通常具有相似的结构和生物学功能.由于基因组和转录组序列的快速积累,精确的识别直系同源基因有助于功能基因的注释,比较和进化基因组学研究.综述了现有的识别直系同源基因的主要方法,并列举了由此构建的数据库.这些方法可以归纳为三大类,第一类是基于序列相似性的方法,具有识别速度快以及灵敏度高等优点;第二类是基于构建系统发育树的方法,具有准确性高和信息量大等优点;第三类是将上述两种方法结合起来的混合方法,更好地平衡了灵敏性和准确性.最后总结了识别过程所面临的问题.
