Should you get sequenced? Not all bad genes predict disease
“What we really don’t know yet is whether the predictive aspects of the genome are going to turn out to be beneficial or potentially harmful” “As we roll out genomic medicine we are fighting against this society-wide misconception that having the bad gene means you’...Tags: Sequencing, health, medicine, genes, disease

Best book Titles for Learning Bionformatics
Nothing can add to our intellect more than reading a book. In books, we can experience new things that we would not normally be able to experience. It is proved that books can change our lives and other people’s lives. Reading can make us more intelligent, updated, imaginative. Withou...Tags: bioinformatics, computational biology, machine learning, statisitics, data mining, algorithms, sequence analysis, structure analysis, database, phylogeny, genes, strings, MSA

Tools for bacterial whole genome annotation
RAST – Web tool (upload contigs), uses the subsystems in the SEED database and provides detailed annotation and pathway analysis. Takes several hours per genome but I think this is the best way to get a high quality annotation (if you have only a few genomes to annotate). Pr...Tags: Tools, bacterial, whole, genome, annotation, prokaryotic, genes

Ancestral Genomes: a resource for reconstructed ancestral genes and genomes across the tree of life
Ancestral Genomes (http://ancestralgenomes.org) is a resource for comprehensive reconstructions of these ‘fossil genomes’. Comprehensive sets of protein-coding genes have been reconstructed for 78 genomes of now-extinct species that were the common ancestors of extant species fr...Tags: Ancestral, Genomes, resource, reconstructed, genes, genomes, across, tree, life

FGENESH - Program for predicting multiple genes in genomic DNA sequences
FGENESH is the fastest (50-100 times faster than GenScan) and most accurate gene finder available - see the figure and the table below. In recent rice genome sequencing projects, it was cited "the most successful (gene finding) program (Yu et al. (2002) Science 296:79) and was used to produc...Tags: FGENESH, Program, predicting, multiple, genes, genomic, DNA, sequences
