	<description><![CDATA[<p>The purpose of this book is to give an introduction into statistics in order to solve some problems of bioinformatics. Statistics provides procedures to explore and visualize data as well as to test biological hypotheses. The book intends to be introductory in explaining and programming elementary statistical concepts, thereby bridging the gap between high school levels and the specialized statistical literature</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>CAMSA &ndash; is a tool for&nbsp;<span>C</span>omparative&nbsp;<span>A</span>nalysis and&nbsp;<span>M</span>erging of&nbsp;<span>S</span>caffold&nbsp;<span>A</span>ssemblies, distributed both as a standalone software package and as Python library under the MIT license.</p>
<p>Main features:</p>
<ol>
<li>works with any number of scaffold assemblies in de-novo non-progressive fashion</li>
<li>allows to simultaneously work with scaffold assemblies obtained from any&nbsp;<em>in silico</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>in vitro</em>&nbsp;techniques, supporting multiple existing formats via built-in converters</li>
<li>creates an extensive report with several comparative quality metrics (both on assembly level and on the level of individual assembly points)</li>
<li>constructs a merged combined scaffold assembly</li>
<li>provides an interactive framework for a visual comparative analysis of the given assemblies</li>

  <title><![CDATA[Computational Biology Summer Research Programme]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>IMSc has a limited programme for highly motivated bachelors and masters students interested in research in the areas of Theoretical Physics, Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science and Computational Biology to visit the Institute over their summer vacation. In addition, IMSc also accepts students through the summer program organized by the joint Indian Academies of Science.<br />General Structure<br />This is a limited programme, depending on the availability of infrastructure and faculty advisors. We typically select about 25 students across disciplines although this number varies a bit from year to year. These visits typically span 6-8 weeks during the summer (May-July). There is also a provision for a 4-6 month visit, typically during January-April or August-November for extended project work.</p>

<p>Qualifications<br />Students currently in their pre-final or final year of BSc/BE/BTech or first year MSc/ME/MTech or equivalent with a good academic record are encouraged to apply through IMSc's formal application process.</p>

<p>To apply through the summer program jointly organized by the Academies of Science, please check the Indian Academy of Sciences for their application process: http://web-japps.ias.ac.in:8080/fellowship2018/index.html.<br />Stipend<br />Selected students will be paid 2nd class round trip train fare plus Rs.200 per diem. Accommodation will be provided in the hostel during summer, subject to availability. Since our ability to provide accomodation is often limited, we suggest that students also explore alternative possibilities for stay in Chennai. Accommodation will not be provided for longer visits.</p>

<p>Application Process<br />To apply for our summer programs please follow the instructions for the respective fields:<br />Theoretical Physics<br />Mathematics<br />Theoretical Computer Science<br />Computational Biology</p>

<p>Other information<br />If you have more questions about our application procedures, about your eligibility or simply about life and work at IMSc, do write to any of the faculty members listed on our home page.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Which are the best statistical programming languages to study for a bioinformatician?]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>In Bio-informatics based&nbsp;genome sequencing and predicting metabolic pathways&nbsp;research jobs&nbsp;I used Matlab, SAS, SPSS, R and several Bioconductor packages. Matlab had a lot of powerful tools and was easy to use, whereas SPSS is for non-programmers and R need programming skills. I am wondering what other people think is best? or there might not be one specific language but a few that lend themselves best to Bio-informatics work that is math heavy and deals with a large amount of data.</span></p>]]></description>
