A marine bioinformatician at work. Sorry jealous biotechnologist, this is how we work.

Alien Genome !!!

Genome sequencing, analysis and expression of Alien genome.

Note: This image/cartoon is create only for fun. It has nothing to do with any scientific findings.

Genetic code - Amino Acid

Poonam Mahapatra — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 07:45:58 -0500

The genetic code consists of 64 triplets of nucleotides. These triplets are called codons.With three exceptions, each codon encodes for one of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins. That produces some redundancy in the code: most of the amino acids being encoded by more than one codon.

The image summarise all in one.

Bioinformatician's summer vacation !!!

Jit — Wed, 03 Sep 2014 13:11:50 -0500

Yes, the bioinformatician do spend their summer vacation like this. They spend more time on cheking the JOBS running on various servers.

The busy life of a bioinformatician. Need many more hands to deal with additional job :)

Amino Acid Flash Tutorial

Jit — Mon, 11 Aug 2014 08:58:17 -0500

Protein is a part of every cell in your body, and no other nutrient plays as many different roles in keeping you alive and healthy. Protein is the building block of our body, and amino acids are the main areas of interest. We have emphasized on all 20 amino acids in this documentary movie. This documentary has been developed that emphasize on chemical structure, chemical formula, IUPAC name and other detail information of all 20 amino acids with the voice, picture with interactive button. This will be helpful for the entire biology and bioinformatics student.

How to run?

You need to install flash player or open it with web browser ( I guess you have installed flash plugin) to play.

Comment below if you like it. Thanks

Genomics and sequencing approach for identification of biomarkers to assess the efficacy of TGF-βRI inhibitors (of liver cancer) in vivo

Rahul Agarwal — Tue, 05 Aug 2014 13:55:32 -0500

Liver cancer is third leading cause of deaths and fourth most frequent occuring cancer worldwide. There are multiple signaling pathways responsible for causing cancer amongst which TGFb is most important cytokine whose signaling pathway promote cancer. However, main problem is to cure this cancer at late stage where we still have no treatment strategy to tackle this deadly cancer. Hence we need to find out new therapeutic target. One way is to look the relationships between mRNA, methylation and miRNA data of patients with different pathological conditions (cancer vs control either with inhibitor/not). MiRNA is small RNA molecules known to inhibit mRNA expression of particular gene by binding improperly to 3'UTR region of a gene and hence block binding of TF /translation of gene. CpG regions is known to located at promoter region of gene (5' UTR) and usually hypomethylated which allow to gene to transcribe and translate however sometime this region become hyper-methylated thats prevent expression of host gene. Thus , integration of these three data reveal new targets and pathways important for causing or preventing cancer and also reveal biomarker thats check the effects of inhibitor on signaling pathway underlying liver cancer.
