Automated group assignment in large phylogenetic trees using GRUNT: GRouping, Ungrouping, Naming Tool (2007)

Dalevi, Daniel, DeSantis, Todd Z, Fredslund, Jakob, Andersen, Gary L, Markowitz, Victor M, Hugenholtz, Philip

Abstract Background Accurate taxonomy is best maintained if species are arranged as hierarchical groups in phylogenetic trees. This is especially important as trees grow larger as a consequence of a...

Comparative Genome Analysis in the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) System (2006)

Kyrpides, Nikos C., Markowitz, Victor M.

Comparative genome analysis is critical for the effective exploration of a rapidly growing number of complete and draft sequences for microbial genomes. The Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system...

Constructing and Maintaining Scientific Database Views in the Framework of the Object-Protocol Model (1997)

Anthony S. Kosky, Victor M. Markowitz, Ernest Szeto

Scientific databases (ScDBs) are used to archive and retrieve data describing objects of scientific inquiry. Since these ScDBs must provide continuous and efficient access to large communities of...

Facilities For Exploring Molecular Biology Databases On The Web: A Comparative Study (1996)

Victor M. Markowitz, Anthony S. Kosky, Ernest Szeto

this paper, we discuss criteria for evaluating the main facilities required for exploring MBDs on the Web, that is, retrieving and interpreting MBD metadata and data. We apply these criteria in...

Version Management for Scientific Databases (1996)

Victor M. Markowitz, Stanley Letovsky, Peter Li, Kenneth H. Fasman

. Scientific databases are used to accession objects representing the results of scientific inquiry, such as genes and DNA sequences. These objects must have stable identifiers that can be used as...

An Overview Of The Object Protocol Model (opm) And The Opm Data Management Tools (1995)

Victor M. Markowitz

In this paper, we overview the Object-Protocol Model (OPM) and a suite of data management tools based on OPM. OPM is a data model that allows specifying database structures and queries in terms of...
