	<title><![CDATA[Tetra-Nucleotide Analysis]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>A tetra-nucleotide is a fragment of DNA sequence with 4 bases (e.g. AGTC or TTGG). Pride&nbsp;<em>et al.</em>&nbsp;(2003) showed that the frequency of tetra-nucleotides in bacterial genomes contain useful, albeit weak, phylogenetic signals. Even though tetra-nucleotide analysis (TNA) utilizes the information of whole genome, it is evident that it cannot replace other alignment-based phylogenetic methods such as&nbsp;<a href="https://chunlab.wordpress.com/orthoani/">OrthoANI</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;16S rRNA phylogeny. However, TNA can be useful for&nbsp;phylogenetic characterization when whole genome or 16S rRNA gene information is not available. For example, a partial genomic fragment obtained from a metagenome can be identified by TNA (Teeling&nbsp;<em>et al.</em>, 2004). TNA is also fast enough that it can be&nbsp;used&nbsp;as a search engine against a large genome database.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://chunlab.wordpress.com/tetra-nucleotide-analysis/" rel="nofollow">https://chunlab.wordpress.com/tetra-nucleotide-analysis/</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>The 10th North East Bioinformatics Network (NEBINet) Annual Coordinators' Meet organised by the Bioinformatics Centre, St Edmund's College, Shillong and sponsored by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, was held at St Edmund's College Auditorium here on Thursday. Meghalaya Governor Ganga Prasad graced the inaugural programme as chief guest. <br />In his inaugural address, the Governor said the panorama of scientific scenario has greatly changed over the years, the thrust areas have undergone a metamorphosis but the conceptual underpinning of the basic sciences still continues. <br />"Of late, the activity of basic research has been intricately intertwined with technology. And we are determined to carry forward this change, for it is through technology that science can actually reach the masses in our country and afar, and the changing times have also inculcated a culture of cross-departmental and interdisciplinary research. Science and technology has always played a pivotal role in taking a nation towards greater heights by ways of innovations and inventions," he added. <br />Prasad also hoped that discussions, suggestions and sharing of innovative ideas during the two-day 10th NEBINet Annual Coordinators' Meet will open up new avenues to make substantial advancement in Biological Sciences which will provide a platform for proper and effective delivery mechanism for the common man. <br />During the inaugural function, Advisor of Department of Biotechnology Dr T Madhan Mohan gave an overview of the NEBINet and Bioinformatics programme. <br />President of Epygen Biotech FZ LLC, Dubai, UAE, Dr Debayan Ghosh, delivered the keynote address. <br />St Edmund's College governing body secretary Brother Simon Coelho and St Edmund's College Principal Dr Sylvanus Lamare also spoke during the function.</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[BEAP: Blast Extension and Assembly Program]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[The Blast Extension and Assembly Program (BEAP) is a computer program that uses a short starting DNA fragment, often a EST or partial gene segment, as "primer", to recursively blast nucleotide databases in an attempt to obtain all sequences that overlaps, directly or indirectly, with the "primer" therefore help to "extend" the length of the original sequence for constructing a "full length" sequence for functional analysis, or at least to obtain neighboring regions of the segment for SNP discovery and linkage disequilibrium analysis. The confidence of assembling the resulting sequences is achieved by using a known genome, such as human genome, as a reference.
