There have been long discussion amongst several specialized/expert educator regarding bioinformatics arena, but everyone explain bioinformatics with their own view. I tried to explain it with a cartoon. Hope you all will like it.

BioKit: a set of tools dedicated to bioinformatics, data visualisation

Neel — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 02:04:39 -0500

BioKit is a set of tools dedicated to bioinformatics, data visualisation (biokit.viz), access to online biological data (e.g. UniProt, NCBI thanks to bioservices). It also contains more advanced tools related to data analysis (e.g., biokit.stats). Since R is quite common in bioinformatics, we also provide a convenient module to run R inside your Python scripts or shell (:mod:biokit.rtools module).

HIV PhD and MSc Research Positions

Mon, 16 Sep 2013 18:55:44 -0500

SANBI are looking to recruit two MSc students and a PhD student who are interested in implementing a computational biology approach to explore HIV’s glycan shield. Successful candidates for the MSc should hold an honours degree in physics, computer science or biological sciences while PhD applicants should hold an honours degree and a MSc in one or more of physics, computer science or biological sciences.

As these positions are funded by the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) priority will be given to South African citizens and permanent residents however exceptional applicants who do not fulfil these criteria may be considered.

Applications including a CV outlining your experience together with a cover letter detailing why you are a suitable candidate should be sent to simon_at_sanbi.ac.za by 30th September 2013.

Synteny and Rearrangement Identifier (SyRI)

Jit — Tue, 05 May 2020 10:37:10 -0500

SyRI is a comprehensive tool for predicting genomic differences between related genomes using whole-genome assemblies (WGA). The assemblies are aligned using whole-genome alignment tools, and these alignments are then used as input to SyRI. SyRI identifies syntenic path (longest set of co-linear regions), structural rearrangements (inversions, translocations, and duplications), local variations (SNPs, indels, CNVs etc) within syntenic and structural rearrangements, and un-aligned regions.
