multiPhATE: bioinformatics pipeline for functional annotation of phage isolates

Abhimanyu Singh — Thu, 16 May 2019 00:17:39 -0500

multiple-genome Phage Annotation Toolkit and Evaluator (multiPhATE). multiPhATE is a throughput pipeline driver that invokes an annotation pipeline (PhATE) across a user-specified set of phage genomes. This tool incorporates a de novo phage gene-calling algorithm and assigns putative functions to gene calls using protein-, virus-, and phage-centric databases.

Bioinformatics related group

Rahul Agarwal — Sun, 09 Feb 2020 03:17:16 -0600

FaBI emerged from the respective groups of the four founding societies GI (German Informatics Society), DECHEMA (Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology), GBM (Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) and GDCh (German Chemical Society). In fall 2015, the GMDS (German Society for Medical Informatics, Biometry, and Epidemiology) joined FaBI. FaBI represents more than 750 members today and considers itself as a joint representation of interests of bioinformatics research in Germany and as an interlocutor for politics, economy, and society aiming at a strong informatics-based life science research.

Applied Computational Genomics Course at UU: Spring 2020

Shruti Paniwala — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 03:30:44 -0600

This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to fundamental concepts and experimental approaches in the analysis and interpretation of experimental genomics data. It will be structured as a series of lectures covering key concepts and analytical strategies. A diverse range of biological questions enabled by modern DNA sequencing technologies will be explored including sequence alignment, the identification of genetic variation, structural variation, and ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analysis. Students will learn and apply the fundamental data formats and analysis strategies that underlie computational genomics research. The primary goal of the course is for students to be grounded in theory and leave the course empowered to conduct independent genomic analyses.

16sRNA Database Download

LEGE — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 04:33:15 -0500

Downloading 16S rRNA databases can be crucial for various bioinformatics analyses, especially in microbiome research. However, it's important to note that databases can vary based on your specific needs, such as the taxonomic coverage you require or the type of analysis you're performing. Here's a general guideline on how you can obtain 16S rRNA databases:

NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information):
- NCBI provides various databases related to genetic information, including 16S rRNA sequences.
- You can access the 16S ribosomal RNA sequences from NCBI's Nucleotide database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/).
- Perform a search using keywords like "16S rRNA" or specific bacterial names to find relevant sequences.
- You can download sequences individually or in batches using the provided tools.
GreenGenes:
- GreenGenes is a widely used 16S rRNA gene sequence database.
- You can access it at http://greengenes.secondgenome.com/.
- GreenGenes provides precompiled databases for various purposes, including classification, alignment, and phylogenetic analysis.
SILVA:
- SILVA (https://www.arb-silva.de/) is another comprehensive database for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences.
- It covers not only 16S rRNA but also other ribosomal RNA sequences.
- SILVA provides precompiled databases for various purposes, including taxonomic classification and alignment.
Ribosomal Database Project (RDP):
- RDP (http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/) is a curated database that offers 16S rRNA sequences.
- It provides tools for sequence analysis and classification.
- You can download sequences and taxonomy information from their website.
QIIME (Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology):
- QIIME (https://qiime2.org/) is a widely used bioinformatics platform for microbiome analysis.
- It provides tools for analyzing microbial communities, including processing 16S rRNA sequences.
- QIIME often includes its own preprocessed 16S rRNA databases that can be used for analysis within the platform.

Before downloading any database, make sure to read the terms of use and citation requirements, as some databases may have specific usage policies. Additionally, consider the compatibility of the database with your analysis pipeline and software tools.

Bioinformatics Codes Search

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:08:52 -0500

I bet, this website will be your best friend in near future. This helps us to explore the existing open source codes and learn from it.

You can find some useful open source bioinformatics codes for your analysis work. You can use the left bar options to filtere out or narrow down your search result. This webpage can be an useful resource for a beginners bioinformatician as it contain several bioinformatics basics script that are commonly used by biological programmers and biologist.

Stand on the slumped, dandruff-covered shoulders of millions of computer nerds. _/\_

Enjoy the code and research work.

Programming language to build synthetic DNA

Jit — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 16:37:24 -0500

A team led by Georg Seelig (http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~seelig/index.html) at University of Washington has developed a programming language for chemistry that it hopes will streamline efforts to design a network that can guide the behavior of chemical-reaction mixtures in the same way that embedded electronic controllers guide cars, robots and other devices. In medicine, such networks could serve as “smart” drug deliverers or disease detectors at the cellular level.
