Green genes: bioinformatics and systems-biology innovations drive algal biotechnology.
Many species of microalgae produce hydrocarbons, polysaccharides, and other valuable products in significant amounts. However, large-scale production of algal products is not yet competitive against non-renewable alternatives from fossil fuel. Metabolic engineering approaches will help to improve productivity, but the exact metabolic pathways and the identities of the majority of the genes invo...
متن کاملMetabolic systems analysis to advance algal biotechnology.
Algal fuel sources promise unsurpassed yields in a carbon neutral manner that minimizes resource competition between agriculture and fuel crops. Many challenges must be addressed before algal biofuels can be accepted as a component of the fossil fuel replacement strategy. One significant challenge is that the cost of algal fuel production must become competitive with existing fuel alternatives....
متن کاملAlgal Transgenics and Biotechnology
Transgenesis in algae is a complex and fast-growing technology. Selectable marker genes, promoters, reporter genes, transformation techniques, and other genetic tools and methods are already available for various species and currently ~25 species are accessible to genetic transformation. Fortunately, large-scale sequencing projects are also planned, in progress, or completed for several of thes...
متن کاملMRes Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
The influenza virus is a constantly evolving pathogen and each year new vaccines have to be developed that are based on the current viral strains that are circulating in the population. There is also the possibility that re-assortment of genetic material can take place in infected animals such as birds and pigs, resulting in new viral strains that may reach the human population causing a pandem...
متن کاملPreface: Computational Systems-Biology and Bioinformatics
Systems biology and bioinformatics are widely recognized as the fields of biological science that have been developed very rapidly in this century. In these fields, there is a much-needed development of computational tools to deal with a monumental amount of genomic and post-genomic data, aiming at systems-level understanding in biology. The Third International Conference on Computational Syste...
