Aims and scope
BMC Research Notes is an open access journal publishing peer-reviewed contributions from across all scientific and clinical disciplines, including intriguing initial observations, updates to previous work and established methods, valid negative results, and scientific data sets and descriptions. We are committed to making it easier to find, cite and share your short reports by providing an inclusive forum for valuable data and research observations.

Featured article: SeqEnhDL: sequence-based classification of cell type-specific enhancers using deep learning models
In this Research note, Wang et al address the challenge of computational identification of cell type-specific regulatory elements on a genome-wide scale. Their analysis suggests that both enhancers and their tissue-specificity can be accurately identified based on their sequence features.

Featured article: Time-dependent efficacy of combination of silver-containing hydroxyapatite coating and vancomycin on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation in vitro
Hashimoto et al developed a silver-containing hydroxyapatite (Ag-HA) coating to prevent periprosthetic joint infection and investigated the time-dependent efficacy of Ag-HA coating and vancomycin on MRSA biofilm formation on Ti discs in vitro by three-dimensional confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis.
