	<title><![CDATA[Common methods to discover tandem repeats]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p>Tandem repeats are DNA sequences that are repeated in a contiguous manner in the genome. These sequences are often used as genetic markers and are important in many areas of genetics and genomics research. Here are some methods for discovering tandem repeats in genomes:</p><ol>
<li>
<p>Tandem Repeat Finder: Tandem Repeat Finder is a software tool that identifies tandem repeats in DNA sequences. It is available for free download and can be used on both nucleotide and protein sequences. The tool uses a statistical algorithm to identify repeats based on their length, copy number, and overall composition.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>RepeatMasker: RepeatMasker is another software tool that can identify tandem repeats in DNA sequences. It works by comparing the input sequence to a database of known repeats and then identifies any tandem repeats that match those in the database.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>PCR-based methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used to amplify and detect tandem repeats in genomic DNA. PCR primers are designed to flank the tandem repeat region, and amplification of the target DNA fragment can be visualized on a gel. This method can be useful for detecting novel tandem repeats and for genotyping.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Southern blotting: Southern blotting is a classic method for detecting DNA fragments in a sample. It can be used to detect tandem repeats by digesting genomic DNA with a restriction enzyme, separating the fragments by gel electrophoresis, and then probing the blot with a tandem repeat-specific probe.</p>
</li>
</ol><p>Overall, a combination of these methods can be used to comprehensively identify tandem repeats in genomes.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>]]></description>

<p>The Bioinformatics group at Boku University has two main areas of interest, underpinning a common goal, the study of complex systems in living organisms. To overcome the engineered redundancies and combinatorial effects prevalent in higher eukaryotes, novel views augmenting the classical gene by gene approaches are required. We combine</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Basics of BLAST Programs !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is a powerful bioinformatics program used to compare an input sequence (such as DNA, RNA, or protein sequences) against a database of sequences to find regions of similarity. Developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), BLAST is widely used for identifying species, finding functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences, and predicting the function of novel sequences.</p><p>Key Features of BLAST:<br />1. Sequence Comparison: BLAST searches for local alignments between the query sequence and sequences in a database. It identifies regions of similarity, which can help infer functional and evolutionary relationships.</p><p>2. Speed and Efficiency: BLAST uses heuristic algorithms, making it faster than exhaustive search methods, suitable for large-scale database searches.</p><p>3. Versatility: There are several versions of BLAST for different types of sequence comparisons:<br /> - blastn: Compares a nucleotide query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database.<br /> - blastp: Compares a protein query sequence against a protein sequence database.<br /> - blastx: Compares a nucleotide query sequence translated in all reading frames against a protein sequence database.<br /> - tblastn: Compares a protein query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database translated in all reading frames.<br /> - tblastx: Compares the six-frame translations of a nucleotide query sequence against the six-frame translations of a nucleotide sequence database.</p><p>4. Scoring and E-value: BLAST results are scored based on the quality and length of the alignments. The E-value (expect value) indicates the number of alignments one can expect to find by chance, with lower E-values representing more significant matches.</p><p>5. Output Formats: BLAST provides results in various formats, including plain text, HTML, XML, and JSON, making it adaptable for different types of analyses and integrations with other tools.</p><p>Applications of BLAST:<br />- Genomic Research: Identifying genes, understanding genetic diversity, and mapping genome sequences.<br />- Protein Function Prediction: Inferring the function of unknown proteins by comparing them to known protein sequences.<br />- Evolutionary Studies: Exploring evolutionary relationships between organisms by comparing their genetic material.<br />- Medical Research: Identifying pathogens, understanding disease mechanisms, and developing treatments by comparing sequences of interest.</p><p>Overall, BLAST is an essential tool in bioinformatics, offering a reliable and efficient way to analyze and interpret biological sequence data.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>The genome sequencing revolution is approaching a landmark figure of 1000 completely sequenced genomes. Coupled with fast-declining, per-base sequencing costs, this influx of DNA sequence data has encouraged laboratory scientists to engage large datasets in comparative sequence analyses for making evolutionary, functional and translational inferences. However, the majority of the scientists at the forefront of experimental research are not bioinformaticians, so a gap exists between the user-friendly software needed and the scripting/programming infrastructure often employed for the analysis of large numbers of genes, long genomic segments and groups of sequences. We see an urgent need for the expansion of the fundamental paradigms under which biologist-friendly software tools are designed and developed to fulfill the needs of biologists to analyze large datasets by using sophisticated computational methods. We argue that the design principles need to be sensitive to the reality that comparatively small teams of biologists have historically developed some of the most popular biological software packages in molecular evolutionary analysis. Furthermore, biological intuitiveness and investigator empowerment need to take precedence over the current supposition that biologists should re-tool and become programmers when analyzing genome scale datasets.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/23/14/1713.full" rel="nofollow">http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/23/14/1713.full</a></p>]]></description>
