An Introduction to Bioinformatics for Glycomics Research

An Introduction to Bioinformatics for Glycomics Research

Carbohydrates are considered the third class of information-encoding biological macromolecules. ‘‘Glycomics,’’ the scientific attempt to characterize and study carbohydrates, is a rapidly emerging branch of science, for which informatics is just beginning. Glycomics requires sophisticated algorithmic approaches. Several algorithms and models have been developed for glycobiology research in the ...

An Introduction to Focus Group Research

A focus group refers to a group of people who share some common characteristics. A researcher gathers these people in the group in order that they share their points of view and interact with each other over a specific issue. Focus group and Interview group are used interchangeably in the scientific literature and both refer to a method of collecting data in qualitative studies. Given the impor...

Using Bioinformatics to Spearhead the Glycomics Revolution

An Introduction to High-Throughput Bioinformatics Data

High throughput biological assays supply thousands of measurements per sample, and the sheer amount of related data increases the need for better models to enhance inference. Such models, however, are more effective if they take into account the idiosyncracies associated with the specific methods of measurement: where the numbers come from. We illustrate this point by describing three different...
