Abstract

A web service is a collection of industry standards to enable reusability of services and interoperability of heterogeneous applications. The UMLS Knowledge Source (UMLSKS) Server provides remote access to the UMLSKS and related resources. We propose a Web Services Architecture that encapsulates UMLSKS-API and makes it available in distributed and heterogeneous environments. This is the first step towards intelligent and automatic UMLS services discovery and invocation by computer systems in distributed environments such as web.

Malaria-GENOMAP: a web-based tool for exploring genomic variation of malaria parasites.

MOTIVATION: Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, imposes a significant public health burden. While Plasmodium falciparum remains the primary target of elimination strategies due to its high mortality rate, lesser-known species such as P. malariae, P. vivax, and P. knowlesi continue to contribute to substantial human morbidity. Genomic approaches, including whole-genome sequencing, offer powerful tools for understanding the biology, transmission, and emerging drug resistance of these neglected Plasmodium species. However, there is an urgent need for informatic tools to summarize and visualize the high-dimensional and complex genomic data generated. RESULTS: We developed Malaria-GENOMAP, a user-friendly web-based tool, which integrates genomic variant data, such as allele frequencies, with geographical maps and chromosome-wide to gene views for in-depth exploration. The tool includes variation from P. knowlesi (n = 139), P. malariae (n = 158), P. ovale curtisi (n = 36), P. ovale wallikeri (n = 47), P. simium (n = 38), and P. vivax (n = 1359). It enables the investigation of population structure, geographic associations of mutations, and putative drug resistance markers, offering valuable insights for malaria control efforts. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Malaria-GENOMAP is available online at https://genomics.lshtm.ac.uk/malaria-genomaps.

Oncoradiology.

This is the seventh in a series of short reviews of internet-based radiological educational resources and will focus on oncological radiology. What follows is a list of carefully selected websites to save you time searching them out for yourself. Most of the sites cater for trainee or non-specialist radiologists but may also be of interest to oncology trainees and specialists for use in teaching. Hyperlinks are available in the electronic version of this article.
