Corona Virus Literature !

Abhi — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 23:30:56 -0600

LitCovid is a curated literature hub for tracking up-to-date scientific information about the 2019 novel Coronavirus. It is the most comprehensive resource on the subject, providing a central access to 201482 (and growing) relevant articles in PubMed. The articles are updated daily and are further categorized by different research topics (e.g. Long Covid) and geographic locations for improved access. You can learn more at Chen et al. Nature (2020) or our FAQ, and download our data here.

Stephen Friend: The hunt for "unexpected genetic heroes"

Sat, 31 May 2014 14:31:47 -0500

What can we learn from people with the genetics to get sick — who don't? With most inherited diseases, only some family members will develop the disease, while others who carry the same genetic risks dodge it. Stephen Friend suggests we start studying those family members who stay healthy. Hear about the Resilience Project, a massive effort to collect genetic materials that may help decode inherited disorders.

Computational Genomics: Applied Comparative Genomics

Jit — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 05:11:30 -0600

The primary goal of the course is for students to be grounded in theory and leave the course empowered to conduct independent genomic analyses. We will study the leading computational and quantitative approaches for comparing and analyzing genomes starting from raw sequencing data. The course will focus on human genomics and human medical applications, but the techniques will be broadly applicable across the tree of life. The topics will include genome assembly & comparative genomics, variant identification & analysis, gene expression & regulation, personal genome analysis, and cancer genomics. The grading will be based on assignments, a midterm exam, class presentations, and a significant class project. There are no formal course prerequisites, although the course will require familiarity with UNIX scripting and/or programming to complete the assignments and course project.

Bioinformatics in Africa:- Part 1

BioStar — Sun, 31 Jan 2021 09:04:01 -0600

The Institut Pasteur de Côte d’Ivoire was created by the N°72511 law of July 27th, 1972 under the Presidency of his Excellency Felix Houphouët Boigny and Professor Jacques Monod, then Leading of the Pasteur institute of Paris.

The objectives of the Bioinformatics pole are:

• Encourage the access to innovations in research and the best exploitation of research data management.

• Develop the critical spirit of the researchers around their axis of research.

• Bring an active help to the improvement of the public health while having for constant worries to feed it by research and the innovation.

• Start training researchers to use bioinformatics as an indispensable tool to research.

• Encourage interdisciplinary creating a network of scientific information available to the researchers of the institute and partners

Longterm training activities:

• To integrate the bioinformatics in the training programs of academic scientists.

• Development of West Africa Centre training in bioinformatics and genome data analysis.

Shortterm training activities:

The IPCI will organize in the month of May 2007 a yearly regional course of initiation and using genome data analysis with the participation of the Centre Biotechnologique de Sfax, Tunisia (Pr Ahmed Rebaï, Department of bioinformatics).

Should you get sequenced? Not all bad genes predict disease

Rahul Agarwal — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:10:53 -0500

“What we really don’t know yet is whether the predictive aspects of the genome are going to turn out to be beneficial or potentially harmful”

“As we roll out genomic medicine we are fighting against this society-wide misconception that having the bad gene means you’re going to get the disease. That’s only true in a very few cases.”

Genetics, epigenetics and disease

Fri, 27 Sep 2013 11:32:55 -0500

Royal Society GlaxoSmithKline Prize Lecture given by Professor Adrian Bird CBE FMedSci FRS on Tuesday 22 January 2013. Adrian Bird CBE FMedSci FRS is the Buchanan Chair of Genetics at the University of Edinburgh. The human genome sequence has been available for more than a decade, but its significance is still not fully understood. While most human genes have been identified, there is much to learn about the DNA signals that control them. This lecture described an unusually short DNA sequence, just two base pairs long, CG, which occurs in several chemically different forms. Defects in signalling by CG are implicated in disease. For example, the autism spectrum disorder Rett syndrome is caused by loss of a protein that reads methylated CG and affects the activity of genes. The Royal Society GlaxoSmithKline Prize Lecture is awarded for original contributions to medical and veterinary sciences published within ten years from the date of the award.

Infectious disease control needs to be made more “sustainable”. We need to reduce selective pressure on pathogens to evolve antibiotic resistance. We need to control infectious disease outbreaks and associated immune disorders with a better understanding of the genetic, environmental and social factors that impact disease spread and severity.

Research Area

Investigating the role in disease of both the microbe and its host (i.e immune system failure), using genomics and systems biology-based approaches
Using genomics and network analysis to characterize disease outbreaks and their environmental/social/genetic causes, and
Identifying new anti-infective and immune modulating therapies/biomarkers.
