Tree illustrating the lack of interchromosomal rearrangement of the microchromosomes. No interchromosomal microchromosome fusions from the avian ancestor unless otherwise stated (macrochromosomal fusions not listed). The overall pattern of microchromosome stability and rearrangement across the species is illustrated

Published a dataset of 363 genomes from approximately 92 percent of bird families

Jit — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 07:04:41 -0600

A research team published a dataset of 363 genomes from approximately 92 percent of bird families and showed the significance of sampling dense organisms for biodiversity research. The study was jointly conducted by Chinese and international institutions and museums and was led by researchers from the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Total of 267 were newly published among the 363 sequenced genomes. They were mainly taken from samples of avian tissue kept in museums around the world, enabling researchers to sequence rare and endangered birds' genomes.

Its descendants have adapted to a wide variety of ecological niches since the first bird formed more than 150 million years ago, giving rise to small, hovering hummingbirds, plunge-diving pelicans and showy paradise birds. More than 10,000 bird species live on the planet today - and now scientists are well on their way to capturing a full genetic image of that diversity.

B10K is expanding its efforts to encompass the next stage of avian classification with 363 genomes complete. The team will sequence thousands of extra genomes in this process, attempting to represent each of the approximately 2,300 bird genera.

The genomic resource is expected to provide new insights on evolutionary processes in cross-species comparative studies and assist in efforts to protect species, according to the research findings reported as a cover story in the journal Nature.

Genetics for Fun and Profit: Andrew Hessel at TEDxVilnius

Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:15:06 -0500

Andrew Hessel co-chairs the Bioinformatics and Biotechnology track at the Singularity University, an institution founded by futurist Ray Kurzweil and X Prize Foundation CEO Peter Diamandis, with sponsorship from world-leading organizations that include Google, Autodesk, and NASA. He is also the founder of the Pink Army Cooperative, a venture aiming to make open source personalized cancer therapies. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Futurist Magazine, H+, and Wired News. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Golden Rules of Bioinformatics

Jitendra Narayan — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 21:11:33 -0500

All constant are variable.
Copy and paste is a genetic error.
First solve the problem, then write the code.
No matter what goes wrong, it will probably look right.
Any simple problem can be insoluble if enough metting are held to discuss it. :P
Stastics is a systematic method of comming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
Bug is a undocumented feature in programming languages.
Good biological programmer goes on summer holiday with raincoat. [because see 1]
Thanks god Google know python is not a python and multiplication and division are the same thing.
Don' be clever, complex biology will trick you.

The Best Bioinformatics / Computational Biology Quotes
