	<title><![CDATA[A Brief Bioinformatics Tutorial]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>This is about how to use a computer to find what is known about a gene of interest and also how to get new insights about it.</p>
<p>The tutorial is divided in three main parts:</p>
<ul>
<li>In the <strong>Sequence </strong>part, you will see how to look efficiently for a particular protein sequence, how to blast it against the database of your choice to find homologues, how to perform a multiple alignment of the homologues you've selected and how to edit this alignment.</li>
<li>The <strong>Structure </strong>part is about molecular visualization, homology modeling and structural domain prediction.</li>
<li>In the <strong>Function </strong>part, you will be introduced to you 3 useful servers to investigate the function of a protein. i.e. finding interactors, co-expressed genes, see a phylogenetic profile, easily access papers citing your gene etc ...</li>
</ul>
<p>During all the three parts, we will use the <em>S. cerevisiae </em>VPS36 protein as an example.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlw/text/bioinfo_tuto/introduction.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlw/text/bioinfo_tuto/introduction.html</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>There are many R software and bioconductor packages for NGS data analysis, some of them are as follows</p><h3><a name="TOC-Biostrings" id="TOC-Biostrings"></a>Biostrings</h3><p>The Biostrings package from Bioconductor provides an advanced environment for efficient sequence management and analysis in R. It contains many speed and memory effective string containers, string matching algorithms, and other utilities, for fast manipulation of large sets of biological sequences. The objects and functions provided by Biostrings form the basis for many other sequence analysis packages. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/Biostrings.html">Documentation</a></p><div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="color: #000000;"><h4><a name="TOC-IRanges-Overview" id="TOC-IRanges-Overview"></a>IRanges Overview</h4><p>IRanges provides the low-level infrastructure and containers for handling sets of integer ranges within Bioconductor's BioC-Seq domain. Its classes and methods provide support for many more high-level packages like GenomicRanges, ShortRead, Rsamtools, etc. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/IRanges.html">Documentation</a></p><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><h4><a name="TOC-GenomicRanges-Overview" id="TOC-GenomicRanges-Overview"></a>GenomicRanges Overview</h4><p>The <em>GenomicRanges</em> package serves as the foundation for representing genomic locations within the Bioconductor project. It is built upon the <em>IRanges</em> infrastructure and defines three major data containers - <em>GRanges, GRangesList</em> and <em>GappedAlignments</em> - which are supporting other important BioC-Seq packages including <em>ShortRead, Rsamtools, rtracklayer, GenomicFeatures</em> and <em>BSgenome</em>.&nbsp; Compared to the IRanges container, the GRanges/<em>GRangesList</em> classes are more flexible and extensible to store additional information about sequence ranges, such as chromosome identifiers (sequence space), strand information and annotation data. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/GenomicRanges.html">Documentation</a></p></div></div></div></div><h3><a name="TOC-Motif-Discovery" id="TOC-Motif-Discovery"></a>Motif Discovery</h3><h4><a name="TOC-cosmo" id="TOC-cosmo"></a>cosmo</h4><p>The cosmo package allows to search a set of unaligned DNA sequences for a shared motif that may function as transcription factor binding site. The algorithm extends the popular motif discovery tool MEME (Bailey and Elkan, 1995) in that it allows the search to be supervised by specifying a set of constraints that the motif to be discovered must satisfy. <a href="http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/cosmo.html">Documentation</a></p></div><div>
<p><span></span><span></span></p>
<div style="color: #0000ff;"><h4><a name="TOC-BCRANK" id="TOC-BCRANK"></a>BCRANK</h4><p>BCRANK is a method that takes a ranked list of genomic regions as input and outputs short DNA sequences that are overrepresented in some part of the list. The algorithm was developed for detecting transcription factor (TF) binding sites in a large number of enriched regions from high-throughput ChIP-chip or ChIP-seq experiments, but it can be applied to any ranked list of DNA sequences.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>The genome of 130 mammals was sequenced by a large international consortium and the data was analyzed together with 110 existing genomes to allow scientists to identify the important positions in the DNA. This report, published in Nature today will help advance research on human disease mutations and inform how best to protect endangered species.</p><p>In addition to the knowledge of the human genome, all these genomes, widely sampled across mammals, can be used to research how particular organisms respond to different conditions. Some otters, for example, have a thick, water-resistant shell, and some rodents, but not all, have adapted to hibernation. These animal traits will help us to understand human traits, such as metabolic diseases.</p><p><img src="https://media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41586-020-2876-6/MediaObjects/41586_2020_2876_Fig1_HTML.png?as=webp" alt="image" style="border: 0px; border: 0px;"></p><p>With climate change and more animal ecosystems being threatened by human activity, the protection of endangered species is becoming increasingly important. Scientists have historically researched several people in various populations of a species to understand the genetic variation that occurs in that species. This is important for understanding how particular species can be protected. In this study, animals on the Red List of Endangered Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature had fewer differences in their genomes, which is consistent with their endangered status.</p><p>Ref @&nbsp;A comparative genomics multitool for scientific discovery and conservation&nbsp;https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2876-6</p><p>&nbsp;Data at&nbsp;http://zoonomiaproject.org/</p>]]></description>
