Hi All,

I am currectly focusing on algorithmic section of computational biology. I came across Big-O Notation in a research paper which made my head hurt. I google it but unable to understand it. I appreciate any help to get rid of my confusion. Any practical examples and a proper explanation of this would really help.

Thanks

Hi!

Currently i am working in miRNA identification based on EST of particular animal.. i did blastn search against the EST to identify the homologous of mature miRNA.. Next step is blastx to remove the protein coding sequences. How can i select the non-coding transcripts or EST's from those results? On what criteria i have to select?? Then I want to know how to select the range of precursors and mature miRNA? Based on secondary structure means how they find the mature miRNA? I read many articles but i am still not clear how to find those.. If anyone know plz help me..

Thanks,

Hi Bioinformatician,

I am newbie bioinformatician interested in knowing something more about next generation sequencing (NGS) and learn to interpret the data obtained from these technologies. In particular I want to know what kind of analyses is possible to perform on these data and what kind of tools can be used to achieve results. Other needs:

Where can I find information or a tutorial?

Does anyone know where I could start?

Any good book, website, tutorial are welcome?

Thanks for your time.
