Ever since a monk called Mendel started breeding pea plants we've been learning about our genomes. In 1953, Watson, Crick and Franklin described the structure of the molecule that makes up our genomes: the DNA double helix. Then, in 2001, scientists...
UC Davis's Bart Weimer describes foodborne pathogens and their proclivity for rapid genome rearrangement. The 100K Pathogen Genome Project he leads is using PacBio long-read sequencing to close genomes and analyze methylation; Weimer reports that...
Applications are invited from highly motivated students (UGC-CSIR-JRF) with a background in Genomics/ Biotechnology/ Molecular Microbiology/ Biochemistry and Bioinformatics to pursue research leading to Ph.D. in the following areas;
1. Cancer...
The genetic code consists of 64 triplets of nucleotides. These triplets are called codons.With three exceptions, each codon encodes for one of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins. That produces some redundancy in the code: most of...
www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk - 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.
The tutorial is divided in three main parts:
In the Sequence part, you will see how to look efficiently for a...
virology.uvic.ca - Genome Annotation Transfer Utility (GATU) was designed to facilitate quick, efficient annotation of similar genomes using genomes that have already been annotated. For example, whenever a new strain of SARS coronavirus is sequenced, it is possible,...
