Five unique traits of effective computational biologist
Bioinformatics research is driven by large set of software, scripts, and tools to analyse gigantic biological data. Being a great biological programmer or bioinformatician involves more than writing code that works. The biological programmers who rise to the top ranks of their profession are not ...Tags: Biological Programmers, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Programmers, Traits, Perl

Computational Proteomics : Lets remember the basics
I spend some of my valuable time in computational drug designing sector. I remember my initial proteomics days, playing with interactive protein visualization software and dreaming big. Fortunately or unfortunately, I switched to genomics and handling the genomic floods in Petabytes which is expe...Tags: Computational Proteomics, Computational Biology, Computer aided-drug design, Bioinformatics

Five points for bioinformatics software/tools
In the bioinformatics sector we mostly spend time on computational analysis of huge amounts of data and try to make sense of it, biologically. But, most of the newbie bioinformaticians are faced with dilemma when they receive biological sequence data for the first time. They mostly found confusin...Tags: Bioinformatics, Open Source, OBF, Tools, Software, Computational Biology

Five key traits to seek out in potential bioinformatics candidates !!!
Genomics and proteomics data are being collected in bulk, but mostly, traditional biologist don’t know what to do with it. Perhaps this is the reason why (not only this!!! ) computational biologist/bioinformatics scientists are hot commodities in the research world. In fact, there are huge...Tags: Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Education, Career, PostDoc, Study, Hire, Trait, Candidate, Data
