What is bioinformatics
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Bioinformatics is the recording, annotation, storage, analysis, and searching/retrieval of nucleic acid sequence (genes and RNAs), protein sequence and structural information. This includes databases of the sequences and structural information as well methods to access, search, visualize and retrieve the information. Bioinformatics concern the creation and maintenance of databases of biological information whereby researchers can both access existing information and submit new entries.

Protein Secondary Structure Prediction: a Literature Review with Focus on Machine Learning Approaches
DNA sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. Instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. This protein sequence takes on a 3D structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in DNA. Every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...
متن کامل1 Ten Years of the Proteome
The concept of the proteome is now over 10 years old. As with all anniversaries, it is a good time to look back and reflect on what has been achieved in the area that we now call proteomics. What has been done well? What has been done not-so-well? What has been achieved, and what still eludes us? This review will briefly explore some of these questions, with respect to protein separations, mass...
متن کاملEarly bioinformatics: the birth of a discipline - a personal view
MOTIVATION The field of bioinformatics has experienced an explosive growth in the last decade, yet this 'new' field has a long history. Some historical perspectives have been previously provided by the founders of this field. Here, we take the opportunity to review the early stages and follow developments of this discipline from a personal perspective. RESULTS We review the early days of algo...

Chloroflexus aurantiacus J-10-f1 is an anoxygenic, photosynthetic, facultative autotrophic gram negative bacterium found from hot spring at a temperature range of 50-60°C. It can sustain itself in dark only if oxygen is available thereby exhibiting a dark orange color, however display a dark green color when grown in sunlight. Genome of the organism contains total of 3853 proteins out ...
متن کاملCMPUT 606 Computational Biology & Bioinformatics Project Proposal A General Survey of Hidden Markov Models in Bioinformatics
Introduction This project proposal will be divided into two sections: background and objectives. The background section will briefly outline the high-level theories behind Hidden Markov Models, and then go on to mention some successful and well-known biological technologies that make use of Hidden Markov Model theory. It is intended to be only a tiny preview of what the final project will event...
متن کاملBioinformatics and the theoretical foundations of molecular biology
To continue on some issues raised previously (Ouzounis, 2000), I would like to examine the principal elements of bioinformatics and its relationship to biological sciences. In various social settings, over conference dinners, at annual retreats and other occasions, I have been involved in these types of casual debates. Is bioinformatics a science or a mere technology platform? Or, put more blun...
