Assemblathon 2: evaluating de novo methods of genome...

Why bioinformatician still using Perl when Python is easy to code, good in ReXp and faster than perl?

There was a lot of buzz about Oxford Nanopore Technologies® is developing the GridION™ system and miniaturised MinION™ device. These are a new generation of electronic molecular analysis system for use in scientific research,...

In Bio-informatics based genome sequencing and predicting metabolic pathways research jobs I used Matlab, SAS, SPSS, R and several Bioconductor packages. Matlab had a lot of powerful tools and was easy to use, whereas SPSS is for...

I personally did not understand the objective behind BINC examination. Is government only try to show off that they are doing something to promote Indian bioinformatics sector? Moreover, It looks like BINC indirectly putting an extra burden to...

I'm new to bioinformatics and recently started learning Perl. I found several rival distributions available for Windows platform, which confuse me at the begining. I google it and found that Strawberry comes with additional dev tools to compile...

I found several angry bioinformatician writting a lot of criticism on Ruby and BioRuby. They also did comparative analysis with several other languages. What do you think about this...

I came across two diferent but matching term BioRuby and BioGem. What are the difference between these two term? If both are using same Ruby language for development then why did they develope two different biological packages.

The key to finding a solution is to notice that most genomicsequences differ by very little. It may well be that the number of complete genome sequences being stored is increasing rapidly, but the actual amount of new data is very small. In...

Like in case of plant genomes where nature of genome is too complex and huge in size to accomplish complete de novo assembly by current sequencing technology. What would be alternate solution? Can we live in reference free world?

Which version is best for bioinformatician to work on?
