	<title><![CDATA[The 5 reasons to mistakes at bioinformatics work !!!]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program. There are some problems that trip up nearly every bioinformatician--everything from getting started understanding the biological problems to dealing with program design. Some random mistakes are so prominent that even experienced biological programmers do it. The 8 years in bioinformatics and my few random observations, most of them are snarky. These reasons will always take longer than expected and compel you to postpone your project deadline.</p><p><strong>1.Stupid for biologist:</strong> Biology is so complex that it will make bioinformatician feel stupid. There are no any universal fixed rules; it can surprise you any time. So be nice to biologists who ask questions and resolve your biological puzzles. Sometime you will have no idea what the hell you were doing either.<br /><br /><strong>2.Puzzling why:</strong> Do not hesitate to ask question. Especially. at the beginning of project you will have to ask a lot of questions. Instead of puzzling it out at end check out and clear your doubt even for a single error. It may can leads to wrong conclusion.<br /><br /><strong>3.Running marathon:</strong> The most of the biological software&rsquo;s documentation is always incomplete. In other word they are no more than 95 percent complete. Sometime a single problem can halt your entire project for months. Compilation and running the pipelines in tedious because almost all are interdependent and need proper configuration. I face the same kind of problem with Evolver :( &hellip; <br /><br /><strong>4.Folders missing:</strong> The pipelines generate lots of data, and we keep them in several folders for future use. But sometime we delete them by mistake and move to recovery&hellip;<br /><br /><strong>5.Digging deeper:</strong> Digging deeper is fruitful, but some time it can be catastrophic. You may get frustrated or direction less. So keep a biologist with you for rescue &hellip;. Sometime an expert computer programmer to handle your server. Remember, the server will always go down when you need it the most.<br /><br />The most common frustrating&nbsp; common line: Why do we do this again?</p>]]></description>

<p>Protein function annotation and machine learning - UPMC - Paris, France</p>

<p>Job Description: We are interested in finding an excellent postdoc with interests in protein functional annotation, machine learning and computer grids. The position is open for 3.5 years at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, in the heart of paris.</p>

<p>Research topic: Protein function annotation, multiple probabilistic models, domain architecture, machine learning, combinatorial optimization, computer grid.</p>

<p>Title: A novel integrative platform for large scale protein annotation that exploits a multitude of diversified probabilistic models in several protein signature databases.</p>

<p>We propose a novel integrated approach for large scale protein annotation that will exploit an unprecedented amount of genomic data as well as sophisticated machine learning techniques and combinatorial optimization approaches taking advantages of High Performance Computing (HPC) environments. The idea is to uncover as much as possible the evolutionary processes of protein sequences that took place throughout the whole tree of life and that affected the evolution of a protein family. We have already demonstrated in a previous work that the problem of functional annotation is inherent to the ability of uncovering such paths. Now, we shall extend this approach to large scale genome annotation by considering 11 different protein databases, constituted by about 10^9 protein sequences, and by producing a large pool of diversified probabilistic models coding for about 10^7 evolutionary protein pathways. Such models will be used to search for specific domains in genomes to be annotated. Our previous methodology needs to be fundamentally improved to deal with this large amount of biological data. In this project, we shall work on the algorithms to reduce the space of models and the search complexity, and we shall implement some important algorithmic changes towards the realization of a powerful integrated annotation tool.</p>

<p>Where: This project is run on the Laboratoire de Biologie Computationnelle et Quantitative UMR7238 CNRS-UPMC – Analytical Genomics team, headed by A.Carbone. It is co-advised with Pierre-Henri Wuillemin, Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris 6 – Equipe DECISION.</p>

<p>Start date: September 1st, 2014<br />Contact Person: Alessandra Carbone<br />Contact: alessandra.carbone@lip6.fr</p>

The findings describe the complex networks that govern gene activity, and the new information could play a crucial role in identifying the genes involved with disease.</p><p><img src="http://www.kurzweilai.net/images/Coexpression-clustering.jpg" alt="image" width="640" height="460" style="border: 0px; border: 0px;"></p><p>We are able to pinpoint the regions of the genome that can be active in a disease and in normal activity, whether it&rsquo;s in a brain cell, the skin, in blood stem cells or in hair follicles. This is a major advance that will greatly increase our ability to understand the causes of disease across the body.</p><p>The research is outlined in a series of papers published March 27, 2014, two in the journal&nbsp;<em>Nature</em>&nbsp;and 16 in other scholarly journals. The work is the result of years of concerted effort among 250 experts from more than 20 countries as part of&nbsp;<a href="http://fantom.gsc.riken.jp/" target="_blank">FANTOM 5 (Functional Annotation of the Mammalian Genome)</a>. The FANTOM project, led by the Japanese institution RIKEN, is aimed at building a complete library of human genes.</p><p>Researchers studied human and mouse cells using a new technology called Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE), developed at RIKEN, to discover how 95% of all human genes are switched on and off. These &ldquo;switches&rdquo; &mdash; called &ldquo;promoters&rdquo; and &ldquo;enhancers&rdquo; &mdash; are the regions of DNA that manage gene activity. The researchers mapped the activity of 180,000 promoters and 44,000 enhancers across a wide range of human cell types and tissues and, in most cases, found they were linked with specific cell types.</p><p>Referene : www.kurzweilai.net/first-comprehensive-atlas-of-human-gene-activity-released</p></div></div>]]></description>
