Effect of Transition Planning on Postsecondary Support Receipt by Students with Disabilities
The authors of this article analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 to determine the effect of receiving transition planning education and having a transition plan that specified needed postsecondary accommodations on the receipt of disability-specific services and generally available supports at the postsecondary level by students with disabilities.

How Much Does Curation Cost?
Here we calculate the cost of biocuration of articles for the EcoCyc database as $219 per article over a 5-year period.

Diagnosis cloud: Sharing knowledge across cellular networks
This paper presents a novel diagnosis cloud framework that enables the extraction and transfer of knowledge from one network to another. It also presents use cases and requirements. We present the implementation details of the diagnosis cloud framework for two specific types of models: topic models and Markov Logic Networks (MLNs).

The Time Is Right to Focus on Model Organism Metabolomes
We propose a grand challenge for metabolomics studies of model organisms: to identify and map all metabolites onto metabolic pathways, to develop quantitative metabolic models for model organisms, and to relate organism metabolic pathways within the context of evolutionary metabolomics, i.e., phylometabolomics.

Can we replace curation with information extraction software?
Can we use programs for automated or semi-automated information extraction from scientific texts as practical alternatives to professional curation? I show that error rates of current information extraction programs are too high to replace professional curation today.

Crowd-sourcing and author submission as alternatives to professional curation
This perspective considers the significant experience accumulated by the bioinformatics community with these two alternatives to professional curation in the last 20 years…

How the strengths of Lisp-family languages facilitate building complex and flexible bioinformatics applications
We present a rationale for expanding the presence of the Lisp family of programming languages in bioinformatics and computational biology research.

Representation and inference of cellular architecture for metabolic reconstruction and modeling
We developed a tool for inferring cellular architectures across many domains of life and extended our Cell Component Ontology to enable representation of the inferred architectures.
