Bioinformatics in Africa:- Part 1

BioStar — Sun, 31 Jan 2021 09:04:01 -0600

The Institut Pasteur de Côte d’Ivoire was created by the N°72511 law of July 27th, 1972 under the Presidency of his Excellency Felix Houphouët Boigny and Professor Jacques Monod, then Leading of the Pasteur institute of Paris.

The objectives of the Bioinformatics pole are:

• Encourage the access to innovations in research and the best exploitation of research data management.

• Develop the critical spirit of the researchers around their axis of research.

• Bring an active help to the improvement of the public health while having for constant worries to feed it by research and the innovation.

• Start training researchers to use bioinformatics as an indispensable tool to research.

• Encourage interdisciplinary creating a network of scientific information available to the researchers of the institute and partners

Longterm training activities:

• To integrate the bioinformatics in the training programs of academic scientists.

• Development of West Africa Centre training in bioinformatics and genome data analysis.

Shortterm training activities:

The IPCI will organize in the month of May 2007 a yearly regional course of initiation and using genome data analysis with the participation of the Centre Biotechnologique de Sfax, Tunisia (Pr Ahmed Rebaï, Department of bioinformatics).

Computational Proteomics : Lets remember the basics

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 17:24:20 -0500

I spend some of my valuable time in computational drug designing sector. I remember my initial proteomics days, playing with interactive protein visualization software and dreaming big. Fortunately or unfortunately, I switched to genomics and handling the genomic floods in Petabytes which is expected to be in Brontobytes in coming years. Did I mention Brontobytes ??? Let me call to my server personnel … it gonna tsunami !!!!!

Today, refreshing my old memories I decided to blog about the basic knowledge of biochemistry and computational proteomics skills, but after I found several article on internet saying exactly what I had wanted to say I thought I might as well just redirect BOL's blog readers there instead:

Here is the list of website and videos links which provide a good resource for you basic chemistry need:

http://tecreativ.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/funny-shortcut-remember-periodic-table.html

This blog have some specific hindi word to remember entire periodic table. I really like

Group 14 (C Si Ge Sn Pb) -> Sentence “Chemistry Sir Gives Sanki Problems”

Sanki is a hindi word which mean crazy :P

I found this link useful as well http://www.wikihow.com/Memorise-the-Periodic-Table

The eagle genomics group provide an element of bioinformatics in periodic tables. Yes you got it, this is not periodic table rather bioinformatics tools with periodicals

http://elements.eaglegenomics.com/

You can also try this video links, which provide you an overview with tricks on periodic tables:

For drug design educational material, software, tools, databses, viewer, file format and many more stuff at one place http://www.allfordrugs.com/drug-design/ I highly recommend you all computational drug designer to bookmark this page for future studies as well.

I just remember one of my mini project in which I use my flash knowledge (flash .. oh ya flash) to explain amino acids in interactive and user friendly manner. I can’t provide It right now, but promise you to provide a link in near future. I hope that you will enjoy my flashy creative skills :).

Moreover, I found some of very interesting tricks to remember all amino acids chemical formulae on youtube at

Key points for computer added drug designers?
1. A shortage of biochemistry skills means that you absolutely nowhere in understanding the key concept and do research.
2. Keep handy with complex mathematical formula, before merely running tools or software.
3. Dig it better and deeper guys .. design it.

Hmm .. Don't worry you read it right .. this is not pi but bi ... "life of Bioinformatician(BI)".
