Python and BioPython Tutorial

Manshi Raghubanshi — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 06:47:40 -0500

A quickstart tutorial that allows to become familiar with the Python language. The exercises expect knowledge of basic concepts of programming. A group of 2nd year computer science students with no previous Python knowledge required 60'-90' to complete the exercises. With about 3 hours time, the exercise is suitable for non-programmers as well.

New born babies get ready to know their whole genome soon!!!

Rahul Agarwal — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 07:24:02 -0500

USA launch a pilot projects to examine medical information of newborn baby, which are being funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), both parts of the National Institutes of Health.

Awards of $5 million to four grantees have been made in fiscal year 2013 under the Genomic Sequencing and Newborn Screening Disorders research program. The program will be funded at $25 million over five years, as funds are made available.

"Hundreds of US babies will be pioneers in genomic medicine through a US$25-million programme to sequence their genomes soon after they are born."

Bioinformatics Algorithm Demonstrations and Tutorials

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:23:51 -0500

Abstract

This project presents demonstrations of selected computer science algorithms important in bioinformatics, implemented in the spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel. Spreadsheets provide an interesting platform for demonstration of algorithms, since various steps of the calculations can be exposed in a manner that is easily comprehensible to users with little programming experience. The algorithms demonstrated include two approaches to approximate string matching (dynamic programming and Shift-AND numeric approximate matching), Hierarchical Clustering (used in phylogenetic studies and microarray analysis of gene expression), a Naive Bayes Classifier for simulated microarray gene expression data, and a simple Neural Network. These demonstrations are designed to serve as instructional aids in bioinformatics courses.

4273π: Bioinformatics education on low cost ARM hardware

Jitendra Narayan — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 07:02:43 -0500

Are you teaching bioinformatics at universities and found it complicated by typical computer classroom settings. As well as running software locally and online, students should gain experience of systems administration. Hmm don't worry there is one new OS for the rescue. 4273π, an operating system image for Raspberry Pi based on Raspbian Linux. It provides an attractive, general-purpose computing environment, within which the course 4273π Bioinformatics for Biologists is embedded.

Though far slower than current desktop and laptop computers, the Raspberry Pi is notably faster than the Cray 1 supercomputer, a marvel of computer speed in its day. The Raspberry Pi approach includes all the benefits of the laptop approach, above, but at lower cost. In addition, the Raspberry Pi is a new and exciting computer system, which in itself can add interest to the course.

As the Raspbian operating system, Raspberry Pi firmware and hardware and 4273π Bioinformatics for Biologists teaching material develop, further releases of 4273π will be made available. It is anticipated that there will be a minimum of two releases per year during the next four years.

4273π is a means to teach bioinformatics, including systems administration tasks, to undergraduates at low cost.
