Scientists map 17,294 proteins produced in human body

Jit — Thu, 29 May 2014 01:57:55 -0500

Indian scientists missed the genomic profiling bus, but they've more than made up for it by creating the first human proteome map which is an extension of the genomic study. Till now, here is no direct equivalent for the human proteome. But recently two groups present mass spectrometry-based analysis of human tissues, body fluids and cells mapping the large majority of the human proteome.

The Indian scientists working in Bangalore, along with their American counterparts, have mapped more than 17,000 proteins in 30 organs of the human body. Just like the human genome was sequenced around the turn of the millennium, this is an equivalent mapping of the human proteome.

The researcher estimated there are around 20,500 proteins in the human body. These scientists have profiled around 17,294, which account for around 84% of the total proteins. Apart from this, the team also traced around 2,500 of 3,000 proteins that had been categorised as "missing proteins".

The work, done by group of Indian scientists, and Johns Hopkins University, published in the renowned journal Nature ( http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v509/n7502/full/nature13302.html ). Of the 72 people who worked on the project, 46 are Indians.

Amino Acid Flash Tutorial

Jit — Mon, 11 Aug 2014 08:58:17 -0500

Protein is a part of every cell in your body, and no other nutrient plays as many different roles in keeping you alive and healthy. Protein is the building block of our body, and amino acids are the main areas of interest. We have emphasized on all 20 amino acids in this documentary movie. This documentary has been developed that emphasize on chemical structure, chemical formula, IUPAC name and other detail information of all 20 amino acids with the voice, picture with interactive button. This will be helpful for the entire biology and bioinformatics student.

How to run?

You need to install flash player or open it with web browser ( I guess you have installed flash plugin) to play.

Protein Subcellular Localization Prediction

Poonam Mahapatra — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 06:20:47 -0600

Assigning subcellular localization to a protein is an important step towards elucidating its interaction partners, function, and potential role(s) in the cellular machinery. Computational tools offer an attractive complement to time-consuming and laborious experimental methods.

Ten recommendations for creating usable bioinformatics command line software

RAJESH DETROJA — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 10:06:26 -0500

Bioinformatics software varies greatly in quality. In terms of usability, the command line interface is the first experience a user will have of a tool. Unfortunately, this is often also the last time a tool will be used. Here I present ten recommendations for command line software author’s tools to follow, which I believe would greatly improve the uptake and usability of their products, waste less user’s time, and improve the quality of scientific analyses.

Google Genomics

Tenzin Paul — Thu, 18 Dec 2014 11:05:42 -0600

Explore genetic variation interactively. Compare entire cohorts in seconds with SQL-like queries. Compute transition/transversion ratios, genome-wide association, allelic frequency and more.
Process big genomic data easily. Run batch analyses like principal component analysis and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium on as many samples as you like, in minutes or hours, with just a little code.
Use Google's infrastructure and big data expertise. Store one genome or a million using Google Genomics and take advantage of the same infrastructure that powers Search, Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Drive.
Support emerging global standards. Google Genomics is implementing the API defined by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health for visualization, analysis and more. Compliant software can access Google Genomics, local servers, or any other implementation.

Installing ELGG on Ubuntu !

Jit — Thu, 25 Nov 2021 01:45:59 -0600

Follow this:

Settings file

Error

Your web server does not have permission to create the settings.php file in your installation directory. You have two choices:

1. Change the permissions on the elgg-config directory of your Elgg installation

2. Copy the file elgg-config/settings.example.php to elgg-config/settings.php and follow the instructions in it for setting your database parameters.

To resolve this --

Change the permision

chmod 777 elgg-config

Web server

Warning

Your server does not support automatic testing of the rewrite rules and your browser does not support checking via JavaScript. You can continue the installation, but you may experience problems with your site. You can manually test the rewrite rules by clicking this link: test. You will see the word success if the rules are working.

create a .httaccess

and provide detail in it

Installation of Elgg

(Note: Elgg requires installing an instance of MySQL.)

Steps to make adjustment and disposal of trial installations easier.

MySQL

At this point, we assume you've set up your MySQL database

Start your mysqld server daemon.
(For the sake of this example, we'll assume we're running on port 9999; you shouldn't actually use this port because only one daemon can run on any port number.)
Login to the server as root user, using the mysql client.
Create a database to store Elgg's tables. We'll call the database elggalpha.
mysql> create database elggalpha;

Grant access to a user — for this example we'll call him/her elggalphauser.

mysql> grant all privileges on elggalpha.* to 'elggalphauser'@'moxie'
    -> identified by 'secretpassword';

Elgg

Type umask 022
Change into your public_html directory (aka folder).
cd public_html
make a directory called elgg
mkdir elgg
Change into the elgg subdirectory of public_html.
cd elgg
download elgg into this directory
you'll end up with a file named
/home/your-user-id/public_html/elgg/elgg-X.X.X.X.zip
(It's not literally X.X.X.X, it might be elgg-1.8.0.1.zip, for example.)
unzip elgg
unzip -q elgg-1.8.0.1.zip
you'll end up with a directory (folder) named
/home/your-user-id/public_html/elgg/elgg-X.X.X.X
make a symbolic link (aka shortcut) to this
ln -s elgg-X.X.X.X alpha
(For example, ln -s elgg-1.8.0.1 alpha)
Give user nobody access to this directory
/usr/misc/bin/acl.sh -r -u nobody elgg-1.8.0.1
create a data directory for elgg (get into your home directory first):
```
cd
mkdir -p elgg/alpha/data
chmod -R 755 elgg/alpha/data
```
Change into the elgg/alpha directory.
cd elgg/alpha
Give user nobody access to this subdirectory data
/usr/misc/bin/acl.sh -u nobody data

In your browser, navigate to your elgg installation
http://moxie.cs.oswego.edu/~your-user-id/elgg/alpha/
You'll have a screen which includes this message:

Welcome

Installing Elgg has 6 simple steps and reading this welcome is the first one!

If you haven't already, read through the installation instructions included with Elgg (or click the instructions link at the bottom of the page).

If you are ready to proceed, click the Next button.

Follow configuration process:

The first screen probably will contain a success message in green and a failure message in pink:
```
Requirements check

Your server failed the requirements check. After you have fixed the below issues, refresh this
page. Check the troubleshooting links at the bottom of this page if you need further assistance.
PHP
```
Your server's PHP satisfies all of Elgg's requirements.
```
Web server
```
We think your server is running the Apache web server. The rewrite test failed and the most likely cause is that AllowOverride is not set to All for Elgg's directory. This prevents Apache from processing the .htaccess file which contains the rewrite rules. A less likely cause is Apache is configured with an alias for your Elgg directory and you need to set the RewriteBase in your .htaccess. There are further instructions in the .htaccess file in your Elgg directory.
```
Database
```
The database requirements are checked when Elgg loads its database.
To correct this, replace the .htaccess file that Elgg created with one that you can edit:
```
cp -ip .htaccess temp-htaccess
rm .htaccess
mv temp-htaccess .htaccess
```
Edit the .htaccess file: Go to approximately line 101 (where it says #RewriteBase /) and add the line:
RewriteBase /~your-user-id/elgg/alpha/
Be sure to save the edited file.
Click the Refresh button.
If this hasn't fixed things, seek professional help.
Click the Next button.

Fill in the parameters appropriate to your MySQL installation.
