XML4MAT: Inter-conversion between MatlabTMstructured variables and the markup language MbML
TL;DR: A new m-file library, XML4MAT, is introduced that supports the inter-conversion between any Matlab structured variable and a specialized extended markup language (XML), designated as MbML, and also includes functions to import non-MbML compliant XML structures.

Abstract: The Matlab™ programming environment and related public license environments such as Octave are gaining in popularity for the identification of algorithms and the rapid prototyping of applications in bioinformatics. At the same time, there is a strong push to standardize the identification of extended modelling languages (XML) and their underlying ontologies, to facilitate bioinformatic integration of data and methods. We hereby introduce a new -file library, XML4MAT, that supports the inter-conversion between any Matlab™ structured variable and a specialized extended markup language (XML), designated as MbML. The library developed also includes functions to import non-MbML compliant XML structures. The functionality described is achieved without object-oriented programming, which makes it ideal for inclusion in declarative programming and implicitly turns into generalpurpose object models for data structures. The new library is made freely available at It is ideally suited for 1) computation of XML structures in Matlab programming environments and 2) its inter-conversion to and from a specialized markup language, MbML. This also enables using Matlab structures as a format to identify new markup languages that are MbML compliant, with the corresponding gain in clarity and computability for bioinformatic applications in that environment.

TL;DR: The ProML language is used for specification of data used in fold recognition bench-marks exploiting experimentally derived distance constraints and clustering of proteins into families and the representation of the specific shared features of the respective clusters.
Exploring the Boundaries of Gene Regulatory Network Inference

Dynamic modeling of genetic networks using genetic algorithm and S-system
TL;DR: A unified extension of the basic method to predict not only the network structure but also its dynamics using a Genetic Algorithm and an S-system formalism is proposed and successfully inferred the dynamics of a small genetic network constructed with 60 parameters for 5 network variables and feedback loops using only time-course data of gene expression.
XML, bioinformatics and data integration.
TL;DR: In this paper, XML is compared to other languages, and some of the potential uses of XML in bioinformatics applications are presented and the authors propose to adopt XML for data interchange between databases and other sources of data.
