What is the objective of BINC examination?

Neel — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:36:53 -0500

I personally did not understand the objective behind BINC examination. Is government only try to show off that they are doing something to promote Indian bioinformatics sector?

Moreover, It looks like BINC indirectly putting an extra burden to bioinformatician, mentally and financially.

Bioinformatics Workshops !

Abhi — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 02:16:53 -0500

When delving into bioinformatics, having access to reliable resources is crucial for effective research and analysis. Key online resources include the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), which offers tools like BLAST for sequence alignment and comprehensive gene databases. For presentations and educational materials, exploring SlideShare for introductory and advanced bioinformatics topics can provide valuable insights and learning aids.

Ph.D. Fellowship (Computational Biology/Bioinformatics) : Cork, Ireland : Cork, Ireland

Thu, 15 Aug 2013 14:09:00 -0500

Ph.D. Fellowship (18,000 euro/pa, plus tuition fees at the EU students rate) is available for four years to work on development of Bioinformatics resources for the analysis and visualization of ribosome profiling data. Ribosome profiling (ribo-seq) is a technology that allows mapping positions of the ribosomes on the whole transcriptome level with a nucleotide precision. The technology allows obtaining high resolution digital snapshots of gene expression in cells. The position is available starting on the 1st of October, 2013.

Candidate:
The candidate is expected to have B.S. or M.S. degree in the disciplines such as Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or Electrical Engineering. The candidates with the backgrounds in Life Science disciplines such as Bioinformatics, Computational or Quantitative Biology will also be considered.

Location:
The position is available at LAPTI (http://lapti.ucc.ie) that is located in the Western Gate Building (http://www.stwarchitects.com/project-information.php?c=1&p=09993) at University College Cork. Western Gate Building Research Complex hosts several UCC departments and provides ideal environment for interdisciplinary research. Cork (sometimes referenced as “Venice of Ireland”) is the second most populous city in the Republic. It has friendly cosmopolitan atmosphere and vibrant culture. A number of American industrial giants such as Apple , EMC and Pfizer have chosen Cork as a home for their European headquarters.

Golden Rules of Bioinformatics

Jitendra Narayan — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 21:11:33 -0500

All constant are variable.
Copy and paste is a genetic error.
First solve the problem, then write the code.
No matter what goes wrong, it will probably look right.
Any simple problem can be insoluble if enough metting are held to discuss it. :P
Stastics is a systematic method of comming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
Bug is a undocumented feature in programming languages.
Good biological programmer goes on summer holiday with raincoat. [because see 1]
Thanks god Google know python is not a python and multiplication and division are the same thing.
Don' be clever, complex biology will trick you.
