Prime Minister’s 100k Genome Project

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 09:40:39 -0500

Genomics Ebgland is destined to sequence 100,000 patients over the next five year in England. A landmark project by british government.

Genomics England will play a key role in building on the UK’s long track record as leader in medical science advances to push the boundaries by unlocking the power of DNA data. The UK will become the first ever country to introduce this technology in its mainstream health system – leading the global race for better tests, better drugs and above all better, more personalised care.

2013 NextGen Genomics & Bioinformatics Technologies (NGBT) Conference, New Delhi, INDIA

Thu, 08 Aug 2013 16:21:16 -0500

2013 NextGen Genomics & Bioinformatics Technologies (NGBT) Conference

SciGenom Research Foundation (SGRF) and Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) are pleased to host the Next-Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics for Genomics & Healthcare conference.

In the ten years since the first human reference genome was completed for US$3 billion the sequencing technologies have radically changed leading to great reduction in sequencing cost. Today a human genome can be sequenced for under US$ 5000 in less than two weeks. It is expected that by the end of 2015 the cost of sequencing a human genome will drop to below thousand dollars. The next generation sequencing technologies over the past five years have enabled a large number of genomic studies that impact human health and disease. Also, this has made possible the growth of microbial, animal and plant genomics studies. While the data production has increased at a rapid pace challenges remain in analyzing and understanding the data. The conference will cover the next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, bioinformatics for NGS and applications of NGS in many areas including personalized medicine.

Machine learning training and courses in bioinformatics !

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 31 Dec 2019 19:33:07 -0600

Machine learning techniques have been successful in analyzing biological data because of their capabilities in handling randomness and uncertainty of data noise and in generalization. In this class, we will learn basics about probabilistic models and machine learning techniques. We will focus on probabilistic models (Markov models, Hidden Markov models, and Bayesian networks) for biological sequence analysis and systems biology. Other machine learning techniques, such as Naive bayes, neural networks and SVMs will only be covered briefly.

What are the difference between BioRuby and BioGem?

Neel — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:27:57 -0500

I came across two diferent but matching term BioRuby and BioGem. What are the difference between these two term? If both are using same Ruby language for development then why did they develope two different biological packages.

Sequence Ontology Bioinformatics Analysis (SOBA) tool to provide a simple statistical and graphical summary of an annotated genome

BioStar — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 10:11:13 -0500

We have developed the Sequence Ontology Bioinformatics Analysis (SOBA) tool to provide a simple statistical and graphical summary of an annotated genome. We envisage its use during annotation jamborees, genome comparison and for use by developers for rapid feedback during annotation software development and testing. SOBA also provides annotation consistency feedback to ensure correct use of terminology within annotations, and guides users to add new terms to the Sequence Ontology when required. SOBA is available at http://www.sequenceontology.org/cgi-bin/soba.cgi.

Computational Biology in the 21st Century: Making Sense out of Massive Data

Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:32:26 -0500

Computational Biology in the 21st Century: Making Sense out of Massive Data Air date: Wednesday, February 01, 2012, 3:00:00 PM Category: Wednesday Afternoon Lectures Description: The last two decades have seen an exponential increase in genomic and biomedical data, which will soon outstrip advances in computing power to perform current methods of analysis. Extracting new science from these massive datasets will require not only faster computers; it will require smarter algorithms. We show how ideas from cutting-edge algorithms, including spectral graph theory and modern data structures, can be used to attack challenges in sequencing, medical genomics and biological networks. The NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.
