Our Research Team prides itself on driving cutting edge, industrial-scale
science to make an impact that belies the team’s size, in an environment
and culture that fosters creativity, innovation, collaboration, and fun.

More than 80% of our customers consent to participate in research, and as
a result of their participation, we have one of the largest recontactable,
genotyped, and phenotyped research cohorts in the world. The scope and
breadth of our vision means that most of the methods and tools necessary
to unlock the potential of this unique resource for discovery have yet
to be developed.

Our science has garnered the respect of many members of the
broader scientific community. For a list of our publications, see

ABACAS, that is able to contiguate contigs from a de novo assembly against a closely related reference.

IMAGE, an iterative approach for closing gaps in assembled genomes using mate pair information. It is able to close gaps left open by the assembler in a draft genome, even when using the same data sets as used by the original assembler.

iCORN, that enables errors in the consensus sequence to be corrected by iteratively mapping reads to the current assembly. An improved version, especially correction Pacfic Bioscience assemblies (PacBio) can be found here.

RATT, a tool to transfer the annotation from a reference genome, or an earlier assembly, onto the latest assembly.

PAGIT bundles these software and makes them more accessible for users.

Today, refreshing my old memories I decided to blog about the basic knowledge of biochemistry and computational proteomics skills, but after I found several article on internet saying exactly what I had wanted to say I thought I might as well just redirect BOL's blog readers there instead:

Here is the list of website and videos links which provide a good resource for you basic chemistry need:

This blog have some specific hindi word to remember entire periodic table. I really like

Group 14 (C Si Ge Sn Pb) -> Sentence “Chemistry Sir Gives Sanki Problems”

Sanki is a hindi word which mean crazy :P

I found this link useful as well http://www.wikihow.com/Memorise-the-Periodic-Table

The eagle genomics group provide an element of bioinformatics in periodic tables. Yes you got it, this is not periodic table rather bioinformatics tools with periodicals

http://elements.eaglegenomics.com/

You can also try this video links, which provide you an overview with tricks on periodic tables:

For drug design educational material, software, tools, databses, viewer, file format and many more stuff at one place http://www.allfordrugs.com/drug-design/ I highly recommend you all computational drug designer to bookmark this page for future studies as well.

I just remember one of my mini project in which I use my flash knowledge (flash .. oh ya flash) to explain amino acids in interactive and user friendly manner. I can’t provide It right now, but promise you to provide a link in near future. I hope that you will enjoy my flashy creative skills :).

Moreover, I found some of very interesting tricks to remember all amino acids chemical formulae on youtube at

Key points for computer added drug designers?
1. A shortage of biochemistry skills means that you absolutely nowhere in understanding the key concept and do research.
2. Keep handy with complex mathematical formula, before merely running tools or software.
3. Dig it better and deeper guys .. design it.
