A Molecular Biology Database Digest
نویسنده
چکیده
Computational Biology or Bioinformatics has been defined as the application of mathematical and Computer Science methods to solving problems in Molecular Biology that require large scale data, computation, and analysis [18]. As expected, Molecular Biology databases play an essential role in Computational Biology research and development. This paper introduces into current Molecular Biology databases, stressing data modeling, data acquisition, data retrieval, and the integration of Molecular Biology data from different sources. This paper is primarily intended for an audience of computer scientists with a limited background in Biology.

A Continuous Optimization Model for Partial Digest Problem
The pupose of this paper is modeling of Partial Digest Problem (PDP) as a mathematical programming problem. In this paper we present a new viewpoint of PDP. We formulate the PDP as a continuous optimization problem and develope a method to solve this problem. Finally we constract a linear programming model for the problem with an additional constraint. This later model can be solved by the simp...
متن کاملValidation of double digest selective label database for sequenced prokaryotic genomes
SUMMARY A database for simulation of double digest selective label (DDSL) typing technique has been created and validated against a sequenced strain (Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain LT2). In silico bands were in agreement with experimental, and the technique was able to discriminate among strains belonging to the same species. When compared with other strain discrimination techni...
متن کاملMolecular solutions for double and partial digest problems in polynomial time
A fundamental problem in computational biology is the construction of physical maps of chromosomes from the hybridization experiments between unique probes and clones of chromosome fragments. Double and partial digest problems are two intractable problems used to construct physical maps of DNA molecules in bioinformatics. Several approaches, including exponential algorithms and heuristic algori...
متن کاملModeling of Partial Digest Problem as a Network flows problem
Restriction Site Mapping is one of the interesting tasks in Computational Biology. A DNA strand can be thought of as a string on the letters A, T, C, and G. When a particular restriction enzyme is added to a DNA solution, the DNA is cut at particular restriction sites. The goal of the restriction site mapping is to determine the location of every site for a given enzyme. In partial digest metho...
متن کاملDiscovering Concepts in Structural Data
The explosive growth of databases in scientiic, industrial, and commercial elds has not been accompanied by a similar growth in our ability to analyze and digest this data. The increasing amount and complexity of data creates an urgent need for automatic database analysis tools. This trend is evident in molecular biology data which continues to grow in both size and complexity. This research ou...
