Bioinformatics lectures !

Jit — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 05:39:54 -0600

Computational Biology is a huge field of study, that touches upon many distinct algorithmic and biological areas of study. What we are able to cover in this course will depend, in part, on the pace at which we move, which I will attempt to adjust as appropriate. However, here is a tentative list of topics I hope to cover this semester (not necessarily in order).

Optimal sequence alignment (global, local, and glocal alignment &mdash with constant & affine gap penalties
Algorithms and data structures for efficient text indexing and exact search
Heuristics for read alignment and mapping &mdash mapping DNA-seq and RNA-seq reads
Genome assembly &mdash k-mers, De Brujin graph construction and representation, long-read technology and read-overlap graph assembly
Motif finding via Gibbs sampling
Gene finding &mdash statistical models for ab initio and evidence-guided prediction of genes
RNA-seq and transcriptomics &mdash transcript assembly, abundance estimation and differential expression testing
Phylogenetics &mdash The small and large phylogeny problem; parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods

2013 NextGen Genomics & Bioinformatics Technologies (NGBT) Conference, New Delhi, INDIA

Thu, 08 Aug 2013 16:21:16 -0500

2013 NextGen Genomics & Bioinformatics Technologies (NGBT) Conference

SciGenom Research Foundation (SGRF) and Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) are pleased to host the Next-Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics for Genomics & Healthcare conference.

In the ten years since the first human reference genome was completed for US$3 billion the sequencing technologies have radically changed leading to great reduction in sequencing cost. Today a human genome can be sequenced for under US$ 5000 in less than two weeks. It is expected that by the end of 2015 the cost of sequencing a human genome will drop to below thousand dollars. The next generation sequencing technologies over the past five years have enabled a large number of genomic studies that impact human health and disease. Also, this has made possible the growth of microbial, animal and plant genomics studies. While the data production has increased at a rapid pace challenges remain in analyzing and understanding the data. The conference will cover the next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, bioinformatics for NGS and applications of NGS in many areas including personalized medicine.

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

BETSY: A new backward-chaining expert system for automated development of pipelines in Bioinformatics

Jit — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 18:46:51 -0600

The BETSY provides a command-line interface and available at https://github.com/jefftc/changlab. A user first searches in the knowledge base for desired output and then BETSY develops an initial workflow to produce that data which is later examined by the user. The user can optimize the parameters, the algorithm to preprocess the data, and normalize it depending on the task.

Currently, BETSY consists of modules required for the microarray and next-generation sequencing data [4] such as expression analysis, classification, peak calling, and visualization.
