The precise definition of bioinformatics has always been a matter of some debate. Although some use a narrow definition which limits it to the analysis of genome sequences (and more recently ...
Summary Bioinformatics is a discipline developed on the basis of biology, mathematics and computer science. It effectively acquires and analyzes biological data such as nucleic acid sequences and ...
I joined the field of bioinformatics just a year after the term first appeared in the published literature (though people had been doing computational sequence analysis for many years by then), and I ...
From sequence to high-throughput data analysis The first big breakthrough in the past decade was the introduction of the rapid sequence database search tool BLAST 1. This search tool was not only ...
Campus News Bioinformatics experts gain ground in protein sequence analysis Proteins, with their extraordinary diversity of structure and function, pose some of the toughest problems in the field of ...
Researchers from the University of Helsinki have developed a novel bioinformatics pipeline called Lazypipe for identifying viruses in host-associated or environmental samples.
This course will highlight the power of DNA sequence information. Delegates will be trained according to an automated sequence protocol. This hands-on course will empower the delegate with all the ...
An overview of bioinformatics and where it fits into NGS workflows–including target enrichment; A walk-through of the analysis stages of Roche’s bioinformatics container solution for target-enriched ...
This article provides a brief introduction to good practices for the bioinformatics analysis of 16S rRNA sequencing by NGS (next-generation sequencing). The bioinformatics pipeline involves two main ...
