	<title><![CDATA[CABOG: Celera Assembler with Best Overlap Graph]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>CABOG (Celera Assembler with Best Overlap Graph) is scientific software for&nbsp;<a href="http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/24/24/2818.abstract">DNA research</a>. CABOG has been a critical component of many genome sequencing projects. CABOG operates on small genomes such as bacterial as well as large genomes such as mammalian. CABOG is an extension of the Celera Assembler software that was originally developed at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.celera.com/">Celera</a>&nbsp;for the 2001 publication of the first draft human genome sequence. The software was released to the public domain in 2004. Its open source&nbsp;<a href="http://wgs-assembler.sf.net/">repository</a>&nbsp;on Source Forge is an internet resource for scientists around the world.&nbsp;</p>
<p>CABOG is one of many software programs called genome assemblers. These programs exist to overcome the fundamental limitation of all sequencing machines, namely, that they read out very few DNA letters at a time. These programs reconstruct genomes that are billions of letters long from the hundreds of letters per read that modern sequencers provide. What these programs do is often described as a scaled up version of a family solving a jigsaw puzzle.</p>
<p>The CABOG software was the first to accomplish many scientific goals. It was the first to assemble the genome of a multicellular organism (<em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>, 2000). It was the first to assemble both parental haplotypes of one human genome (J. Craig Venter, 2007). It was the first to assemble environmental sequence from the oceans (Sargasso Sea in 2004 and Global Ocean Sampling in 2007). It was first to combine reads from first-generation Sanger sequencing machines and second-generation pyrosequencing machines (Marine microbes, 2006). Today, CABOG is one of the leading assembly programs for data sets that include paired end data from the Roche 454 line of sequencing machines.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.jcvi.org/cms/research/projects/cabog/overview/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcvi.org/cms/research/projects/cabog/overview/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Data Mining in Bioinformatics]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Data mining, the extraction of hidden predictive information from large databases. Data mining is becoming an increasingly important tool to transform this data into information. It is commonly used in a wide range of profiling practices, such as marketing, surveillance, fraud detection and scientific discovery. Data Mining for Bioinformatics enables researchers to meet the challenge of mining vast amounts of biomolecular data to discover real knowledge. In other words, you&rsquo;re a bioinformatician, and data has been dumped in your lap. Find the patterns, trend, answers, or what ever meaningful knowledge the data is hiding. They scour databases for hidden patterns, finding predictive information that experts may miss because it lies outside their expectations.This page Covering theory, algorithms, and methodologies, as well as data mining technologies. Unfortunately life is never simple. In molecular biology, it&rsquo;s becoming more common to generate reams of data then ask someone in bioinformatics to produce an answer. This is exploratory data analysis, one of the most difficult things to do well. Especially if you&rsquo;re thrown in at the deep end.</p><p><strong>Data mining commonly involves four classes of tasks:</strong></p><ul>
<li>Classification - Arranges the data into predefined groups. For example, an email program might attempt to classify an email as legitimate or spam. Common algorithms include decision tree learning, nearest neighbor, naive Bayesian classification and neural networks.</li>
<li>Clustering - Is like classification but the groups are not predefined, so the algorithm will try to group similar items together.</li>
<li>Regression - Attempts to find a function which models the data with the least error.</li>
<li>Association rule learning - Searches for relationships between variables. For example a supermarket might gather data on customer purchasing habits. Using association rule learning, the supermarket can determine which products are frequently bought together and use this information for marketing purposes. This is sometimes referred to as market basket analysis.</li>
<li>From experience, I can say that is one of the most frustrating positions to be in. Data mining is a huge field and can easily be bewildering for a beginner. However, high through-put techniques in molecular biology require, more and more, that bioinformatics is required to interpret the data. Furthermore, people working in bioinformatics generally come from computer science, or biology backgrounds. Data mining, however, involves statistics to one degree or another, which means entering a field that is may not be your strong point.</li>
<li>Excel is fine for creating graphs. If you&rsquo;re serious about data mining though, you&rsquo;ll need something more heavy weight. I use R, free, and with good data mining packages such as vegan and labdsv. For beginners R can be impenetrable, I recommend this book an introduction to R as well as the underlying statistics.</li>
<li>Any of us can rush head on into a land of support vector machines, hidden markov models and neural networks. But coming back to the first point, what are you trying to prove? Always question what are you doing, how does it fit in to the wider picture? Try to regularly review, and keep track of where you are going? This will prevent you from falling into data mining despair.</li>

	<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[Genomics for Bioinformatician]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Genomics is the study of the genomes of organisms. The field includes intensive efforts to determine the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping efforts. The field also includes studies of intragenomic phenomena such as heterosis, epistasis, pleiotropy and other interactions between loci and alleles within the genome. In contrast, the investigation of the roles and functions of single genes is a primary focus of molecular biology or genetics and is a common topic of modern medical and biological research. Research of single genes does not fall into the definition of genomics unless the aim of this genetic, pathway, and functional information analysis is to elucidate its effect on, place in, and response to the entire genome's networks.<br /><br />Genomics was established by Fred Sanger when he first sequenced the complete genomes of a virus and a mitochondrion. His group established techniques of sequencing, genome mapping, data storage, and bioinformatic analyses in the 1970-1980s. A major branch of genomics is still concerned with sequencing the genomes of various organisms, but the knowledge of full genomes has created the possibility for the field of functional genomics, mainly concerned with patterns of gene expression during various conditions. The most important tools here are microarrays and bioinformatics. Study of the full set of proteins in a cell type or tissue, and the changes during various conditions, is called proteomics. A related concept is materiomics, which is defined as the study of the material properties of biological materials (e.g. hierarchical protein structures and materials, mineralized biological tissues, etc.) and their effect on the macroscopic function and failure in their biological context, linking processes, structure and properties at multiple scales through a materials science approach. The actual term 'genomics' is thought to have been coined by Dr. Tom Roderick, a geneticist at the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) over beer at a meeting held in Maryland on the mapping of the human genome in 1986.<br /><br />The outcome of almost two years of intense discussions with literally hundreds of scientists and members of the public, has three major areas of focus: Genomics to Biology, Genomics to Health, and Genomics to Society.<br /><br /><strong><em>Genomics to Biology:</em></strong>&nbsp;<br />The human genome sequence provides foundational information that now will allow development of a comprehensive catalog of all of the genome's components, determination of the function of all human genes, and deciphering of how genes and proteins work together in pathways and networks.<br /><br /><strong><em>Genomics to Health:<br /></em></strong>Completion of the human genome sequence offers a unique opportunity to understand the role of genetic factors in health and disease, and to apply that understanding rapidly to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This opportunity will be realized through such genomics-based approaches as identification of genes and pathways and determining how they interact with environmental factors in health and disease, more precise prediction of disease susceptibility and drug response, early detection of illness, and development of entirely new therapeutic approaches.<br /><br /><strong><em>Genomics to Society:</em>&nbsp;<br /></strong>Just as the HGP has spawned new areas of research in basic biology and in health, it has created new opportunities in exploring the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of such work. These include defining policy options regarding the use of genomic information in both medical and non-medical settings and analysis of the impact of genomics on such concepts as race, ethnicity, kinship, individual and group identity, health, disease, and "normality" for traits and behaviors.<br /><br />This vision for the future of genomics is not just about the NHGRI. It encompasses the whole field of genomics, including the work of all the other Institutes and Centers at the NIH and of a number of other federal agencies. All of the NIH Institutes are already taking full advantage of the sequence and will apply its data to the better understanding of both rare and common diseases, almost all of which have a genetic component. A recent example of the way that the HGP and the knowledge and new technologies it has spawned are already facilitating science is the extremely rapid sequencing by groups in Canada and at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta of the genome of the virus that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The sequencing of the SARS virus genome provides insight into this new and deadly disease at a speed never before possible in science. In turn, this should lead to the rapid development of diagnostic tests and, in time, vaccines and effective treatments.<br /><br /><strong>Links for the addition material available on Net</strong></p><p><a href="http://pevsnerlab.kennedykrieger.org/bioinformatics/bioinf10_genomes.htm">Genomes and genomics:</a></p><p><a href="http://www.123genomics.com/learning.html">Bioinformatics and Genomics:</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/docs/roadshow_tutorial/strgenomics/tutorial.html">Structural genomics tutorial:</a></p><p><a href="http://www.hgu.mrc.ac.uk/Users/Philippe.Gautier/tutorial/index.html">Comparative Genomics Tutorial:</a></p><p><a href="http://www.scfbio-iitd.res.in/tutorial/genomics.html">GENOME TUTORIAL:</a></p><p><a href="http://genomebiology.com/content/pdf/gb-2001-3-1-reviews2001.pdf">Tools and resources for identifying protein families, domains and motifs</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/posters/chromosome/tools.shtml">Bioinformatics Tools</a><a href="http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/posters/chromosome/tools.shtml">&nbsp;<br />Tips, Tutorials, and Terminology for Using Selected Resources in Genome Database Guide:</a></p><p><a href="http://www.doe-mbi.ucla.edu/Reprints/R31%20Strong%20A%20Web-based%20Comparative%20Genomics%20tutorial%20Microbiology%20Eduction%202004.pdf">A Web-Based Comparative Genomics Tutorial for Investigating Microbial Genomes:</a></p><p><a href="http://www.genome.gov/27530225">Free Online Tutorials Teach Anyone How to Use Genome Databases:</a></p><p><a href="http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/circos/?tutorials">Circos to create concise, explanatory, unique and print-ready visualizations of your data:</a></p><p><a href="http://www.igd.cornell.edu/Comparative%20Genomics/Comparative%20Genomics%20Proj.html">Genomics and Comparative Genomics</a><a href="http://www.igd.cornell.edu/Comparative%20Genomics/Comparative%20Genomics%20Proj.html">&nbsp;Learning Module:</a></p><p><a href="http://psb.stanford.edu/psb10/conference-materials/tutorials/compgen-notes.pdf">Computational Challenges in Comparative Genomics</a></p><p><a href="http://psb.stanford.edu/psb10/conference-materials/tutorials/compgen-notes.pdf">A Tutorial:</a></p><p><a href="http://gramene.agrinome.org/tutorials/modules_tutorial.pdf">A Comparative Genomics Resource for Grains</a>:</p><p><a href="http://www.plantcell.org/cgi/content/full/21/12/3718">PLAZA: A Comparative Genomics Resource to Study Gene and Genome Evolution in Plants:</a></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VISTA_(comparative_genomics)">VISTA</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VISTA_(comparative_genomics)">:</a></p><p>Software for Genomics</p><ol>
