Our lab focuses on the comparative genomics and developmental biology of basal metazoans, particularly on jellyfish and hydra models. We are interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying stem cell dynamics, regeneration, and the evolutionary origins of these processes in early-diverging animal lineages.

translate2R

After their presentation at the international “user!” conference, data analysis specialist eoda starts the public alpha testing of translate2R. With the start of alpha testing the innovative migration solution by the company hailing from Kassel discards the working title “translateR” and takes on the final product brand name “translate2R”. translate2R is a service for the automated translation of SPSS® syntax to R code, therefore supporting data analysts with a quick and low-risk migration to R.

The manual translation of many, frequently rather complex SPSS scripts often presents itself as a tedious and error-prone task, and represents a rather large obstacle for many analysts and companies to migrate to a modern, open source data management and analysis tool like R. With translate2R this hurdle will be diminished substantially.

Bioinformatics Workshops - NO CODING REQUIRED

eliabrodsky — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 13:06:01 -0500

Pine Biotech, Inc., a US-based startup working with the Tauber Bioinformatics Research Center is offering a full curriculum online preparing students without any technical background for real-life challenges with large scale biomedical data. Workshops on processing, analysis and biomedical interpretation of Next Generation Sequencing data cover important up-to-date algorithms and machine learning approaches. The most important thing is that there are virtually no pre-requisites such as coding, biostatistics or advanced medical skills. If you know what gene is and how the genes are expressed, you are ready to take the courses or join our workshops. Learn more: https://edu.t-bio.info/workshops/

Which are the best statistical programming languages to study for a bioinformatician?

Jitendra Narayan — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:35:34 -0500

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 non-programmers and R need programming skills. I am wondering what other people think is best? or there might not be one specific language but a few that lend themselves best to Bio-informatics work that is math heavy and deals with a large amount of data.

Genomics has profoundly changed our way of conducting research in microbiology. The power of high–throughput DNA sequencing technologies, in particular the recent development of next generation sequencing allows researchers now to address an increasingly diverse range of biological problems. The scale and efficiency of sequence-based analyses that can now be achieved is providing unprecedented progress in diverse areas that range from the analyses of genomes to related disciplines such as transcriptional profiling - or protein - nucleic acid interaction studies: Population and metagenomics studies can now be conducted in an unprecedented large scale, regulatory processes can be studied genome-wide under hundreds of different conditions. The genome wide study of the interaction of DNA or RNA with proteins brings completely new insight into regulatory processes and even single cell analyses become now possible. The many diverse applications of next–generation sequencing and the importance of the insights that are being gained through these methods are very exiting and challenging. It is the perfect time to come together and exchange new knowledge and technologies in this area.

Thus the conference on "Microbiology after the genomics revolution - Genomes 2014" will be an appropriate and timely occasion to offer an outstanding discussion forum for the best international researchers in all fields of cutting edge microbiology research to discuss newly discovered aspects of microbiology.
