BINC Exam merged with DBT- BET JRF Exam

Jit — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 09:37:36 -0600

Another breaking news received has been received from the Department of biotechnology – DBT. As per a notification released by DBT, Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) Exam conducted once per year by DBT has been now merged with DBT- BET JRF Exam.

Also, Bioinformatics Industrial Training Program (BIITP) is merged with the HRD Biotechnology Industrial Training Programme (BITP).

While this comes as a surprise for a lot of participants. We believe this is a good attempt to unify and create a national benchmark for talent. And we appreciate this endeavor from Department of biotechnology.

However, such last-minute announcements can create confusion. Thus candidates are advised to go through the complete notification DBT-BET JRF 2019 via the link below.If you have any kind of doubts, you must contact DBT JRF or Biotecnika for any kind of help & assistance.

Attention:-Bioinformatics Programs (BINC and BIITP)

1. Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) has been merged with DBT-Junior
Research Fellow (BET Exam)

2. Bioinformatics Industrial Training Program (BIITP) is merged with HRDBiotechnology Industrial Training Programme (BITP).

Students of Bioinformatics, who are interested to apply for Fellowship or Industrial
Training may keep track of the advertisement of DBT-JRF (BET Exam) and BITP
of DBT.

The Clark Lab

Fri, 07 Feb 2020 13:57:24 -0600

Study the process of Adaptive Evolution, during which species adopt novel traits to overcome challenges. We retrace the evolutionary histories of genomic elements to determine the changes underlying adaptation and to discover previously unknown genetic networks. These discoveries have already led to advances in human health, species conservation, and molecular biology.

Bioinformatics Algorithm Demonstrations and Tutorials

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:23:51 -0500

Abstract

This project presents demonstrations of selected computer science algorithms important in bioinformatics, implemented in the spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel. Spreadsheets provide an interesting platform for demonstration of algorithms, since various steps of the calculations can be exposed in a manner that is easily comprehensible to users with little programming experience. The algorithms demonstrated include two approaches to approximate string matching (dynamic programming and Shift-AND numeric approximate matching), Hierarchical Clustering (used in phylogenetic studies and microarray analysis of gene expression), a Naive Bayes Classifier for simulated microarray gene expression data, and a simple Neural Network. These demonstrations are designed to serve as instructional aids in bioinformatics courses.
