Bioinformatics Laboratory is founded in ICS-FORTH

The management of the Institute of Computer Science, Foundation of Research and Technology, Hellas has recently (Oct. 2010) decided to found the Bioinformatics Laboratory, with the Mens X Machina group members as its founding and core members and Prof. Tsamardinos as its first Head. The decision reflects the commitment of the management to progressing and advancing Bioinformatics in the Institute, to provide our group with administrative autonomy, and recognizes the contributions of our group to the field. The Mens X Machina group will continue its mission as Bioinformatics Laboratory. The Mens X Machina website will still be maintained but a new updated Bioinformatics Laboratory website will be available within a couple of months.

New MATLAB toolboxes versions 0.9.2

New versions (0.9.2) of our MATLAB® toolboxes have been released.
New features in version 0.9.2 of Mens X Machina Probabilistic Graphical Model Toolbox (MxM PGM) include:

• Skeleton identification error estimation/calculation utilities
• Templates for custom functions, handles to which can be used as values of skeleton identification function parameters.

New features in version 0.9.2 of Mens X Machina Commons Toolbox include multiple testing error estimation/calculation utilities.

Also, a supplement to MxM PGM called Mens X Machina Probabilistic Graphical Model Samples (MxM PGM Samples) is available to download. MxM PGM Samples is a collection of samples from several Bayesian networks.
