Computational Epidemiology is the passion now

Computational Epidemiology in combating diseases like AIDS has become the front runners for Bioinformaticists in helping molecular biologists discover or model genes.

Are you the one in this field?

Understanding Complex Diseases : A Bioinformatical approach

Researchers have been using in silio approaches to identify some regions of interest in proteins to elucidate how complex diseases could deal with?

What and How do you think it would help us?

Federated databases on rise: The next big thing in Bioinformatics!

Would you like to see your query processed at one go for Bioinformatics databases of your interest?

If yes federated databases is the one right point to start with.

Very interesting one

Any thoughts please?

Say 'Ome' ? Not always!

Ome means many(~money) But in case of Dinosaurs..." Many had surprisingly tiny genomes"

Excerpts from

So "Omy" doesn't apply for such tiny genomes. What do you think?

Theoretical Model depositions in Protein Data Bank are no longer accepted: Where do we stand now?

Start October 15, 2006, theoretical Model depositions in Protein Data Bank are no longer accepted: Where do we stand now? What do you think of the theoretical structure prediction henceforth?

Nobel prize:Full honours to RNAi and DNA!

RNAi and DNA rules!
Hearty congratulations to Drs. Andrew Fire, Craig Mello and Kornberg for getting the coveted Nobel Prize in Medicine and Chemistry respectively!

And we would for sure hope for more excitement in RNAi

How many (protein-coding) genes in Human?

Owing to the recent genome re-sequencing of chromosome 1, there has been changes amended in numbering total genes in Humans. The then 100,000 to now 20,000 odd!
Any comment on this please?
