In today’s era of big biology, we’re generating more data than ever before—genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, metabolomes, microbiomes… you name it. But raw biological data doesn’t speak for itself. Making sense of it requires more than traditional...

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...

In the genomic era, the ability to predict the virulence potential of pathogens has become an indispensable part of infectious disease research. With the exponential growth of microbial genome data, bioinformatics tools now enable scientists to...

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...

The Center for Interdisciplinary Neuroscience of Valparaiso (CINV) in Valparaiso, Chile, invites postdoctoral researchers to apply for a Postdoctoral Fellowship focusing on understanding the evolution of genes and molecular pathways that play a...

Modern sequencing technologies have turned biology into a data-heavy science. The human genome has about three billion DNA base pairs, and sequencing can produce massive datasets quickly. Bioinformatics helps organize and interpret this information,...

Some five points to keep in mind for bioinformatics software/tools

DNA code of 100,000 patients over the next five years

www.genengnews.com - The report adds to growing experimental support for the idea that all that extra stuff in the human genes, once referred to as “junk DNA,” is more than functionless, space-filling material that happens to make up nearly 98% of the...
