List of GOI approved peer reviewed bioinformatics and computational biology journals

Jit — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 05:03:27 -0500

Unfortunately, we now live in a world where the integrity of peer-reviewed journals is being threatened by the rise of the academic version of fake news – something many call “predatory publishing". Mostly in academic publishing world, "predatory open access publishing" is an exploitative open-access publishing business model that involves charging publication fees to authors without providing the editorial and publishing services associated with legitimate journals (open access or not).

Nearly 20% of the such journals have a flashy impact factor and quick publication time, which are quick give-aways. Interestingly, under contact address, some journal websites do not even provide any address to contact. All of this has led to the emergence of a new and dark market of deceptive publishers that exploit the concept of open access and provide channels for “scientific journal” publication with little or no peer review. For a fee, they will publish almost anything – even if the study was fatally flawed. And these journals provide a forum that can be used as a channel to publish fraudulent “advocacy research.” You can find list of certain such publishers at "Beall's List" http://beallslist.weebly.com/

Keeping all these in mind, Government of India (GOI) decided to approved certain bioinformatics and computational biology journals for your research publication.

Following are the list of GOI validated and peer reviewed bioinformatics and computational biology journals:

NOTE:Each journal details are in following order Tittle\nSource\nSubject.
Point to remember: The list of journals are NOT sorted in any ascending or descending order.

If I missed any other GOI validated bioinformatics journal, then please report me in comment section.

RosettaAntibodyDesign (RAbD): A general framework for computational antibody design

BioStar — Sun, 20 Sep 2020 06:03:42 -0500

RosettaAntibodyDesign (RAbD) is a generalized framework for the design of antibodies, in which a user can easily tailor the run to their project needs. The algorithm is meant to sample the diverse sequence, structure, and binding space of an antibody-antigen complex. It can be used for a multitude of project types, from denovo design to redesigns that improve binding affinity, optimize stability, or manipulate function.

The framework is based on rigorous bioinformatic analysis and rooted very much on our recent clustering of antibody CDR regions. It uses the North/Dunbrack CDR definition as outlined in the North/Dunbrack clustering paper.

Computational Biology Summer Research Programme

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 23:38:44 -0600

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.
General Structure
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.

Qualifications
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.

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.
Stipend
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.

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

Other information
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.

The goal of our research is to interpret and distill this complexity through accurate analysis and modeling of molecular pathways, particularly those in which malfunctions lead to the manifestation of disease. We are inventing integrative methods for systems-level pathway modeling through integrative analysis of genome-scale datasets. We apply these approaches in studying challenging biological problems, such as how pathways function in diverse cell types and how they change dynamically.

Drew Berry: Animations of unseeable biology

Mon, 10 Mar 2014 06:44:59 -0500

http://www.ted.com We have no ways to directly observe molecules and what they do -- Drew Berry wants to change that. At TEDxSydney he shows his scientifically accurate (and entertaining!) animations that help researchers see unseeable processes within our own cells. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate If you have questions or comments about this or other TED videos, please go to http://support.ted.com
