I was discussing H1N1 with a bioinformatics friend of mine last weekend, and we ended up talking about ways that epidemiologists model transmission of disease. I wondered how some of the information that is shared voluntarily on social networks might be used to build useful models of various kinds.

 

I'm also interested in visualizing information that isn't implicitly shared - but instead is inferred or suggested.

 

This piece looks for tweets containing the phrases 'just landed in...' or 'just arrived in...'. Locations from these tweets are located using MetaCarta's Location Finder API. The home location for the traveling users are scraped from their Twitter pages. The system then plots these voyages over time.

 

I'm not entirely sure where this will end up going, but I am reasonably happy with the results so far.

Ayyappan, Secretary of the Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE) of the Ministry of Agriculture of India and Director General of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), at the official launch of the Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA), held in New Delhi, India on 5 October 2011.

 

BISA will be a new, state-of-the-art, international agricultural research and development center, based in India and managed by CIMMYT. It will boost agricultural productivity by adapting wheat and maize varieties able to thrive despite the challenges of climate change, natural resource scarcity, diverse ecosystems, and increasing market demand. It will deliver elite wheat and maize germplasm that is high-yielding and robust—able to withstand drought, heat, diseases—and meets requirements for diversified cropping rotations and grain quality, and make it accessible to small seed companies so that they can offer quality, affordable seed to smallholder farmers. It will provide support in the use of modern biotechnology and bioinformatics tools and supply effective and profitable technologies and crop varieties for conservation and precision agriculture. BISA will have centers in three states, Punjab, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, each of which contains varied agro-ecological zones allowing for testing of a variety of maize and wheat cultivars suited to the equally varied environments of South Asia.

 

Ayyappan opened the launch ceremony with a welcome address that was followed by speeches from Ramkrishna Kusmaria, Agriculture Minister of Madhya Pradesh, S. Sucha Singh Langah, Agriculture Minister of Punjab, and Sharad Pawar, the Union Minister for Agriculture and Food Processing Industries of India. Lumpkin delivered the closing remarks, saying “CIMMYT has been in India for 50 years. It’s time we laid down some roots.”

 

In addition to CIMMYT-India staff, the CIMMYT management committee, and its Board of Trustees, the ceremony was attended by representatives from CIMMYT’s sister institutions ILRI, IRRI, and Bioversity, as well as from the Allan Mustard Institute of the US Department of Agriculture and the private sector. The event was closed by a dinner and a speech by the Board of Trustees Chair, Sara Boettiger.

Michael Ashburner FRS (23 May 1942 - 7 July 2023) was a biologist and Professor in the Department of Genetics at University of Cambridge. He was also the former joint-head and co-founder of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and a Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ashburner

 

I remember Michael as a generous man with a wicked sense of humour. Despite being an international superstar, he was happy to chat to ordinary people like me in the pub, which he did once at The George Inn, Babraham. Cheers Michael and thanks. RIP. 🍻

The Northwest Association for Biomedical Research was excited to share with teachers our bioinformatics program, New Frontiers in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology funded by the National Science Foundation. The two-day workshop began in the Seattle research center of Novo Nordisk A/S and ended at Shoreline Community College, which features a Biotechnology Lab Specialist Program.

Introduction: DNA polymerases are cardinal enzymes, which play a vital role in preserving as well as maintaining the blueprint of life in all living cells. Furthermore, in-depth analyses of DNA and RNA polymerases, which are the crucial catalysts of life, not only reveal fundamental information about their emergence but also on the evolution of life on the planet earth.

 

Aim: To analyze the active sites of various prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA polymerases and propose a plausible mechanism of action for the polymerases with the Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I as a model system.

 

Study Design: Bioinformatics, Biochemical, Genetic, Site-Directed Mutagenesis (SDM) analyses and X-ray crystallographic data were analyzed.

 

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Molecular Microbiology, School of Biotechnology, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai – 625 021, India from 2007 to 2012.

 

Methodology: The advanced version of T-COFFEE was used to analyze both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA polymerase sequences. Along with this bioinformatics data, X-ray crystallographic and biochemical, SDM analysis data were also used to confirm the possible amino acids in the active sites of different types of polymerases from various sources.

 

Results: Multiple sequence analyses of various polymerases from different sources showed only a few highly conserved motifs among these enzymes except eukaryotic epsilon polymerases where a large number of highly conserved sequences were found. Possible catalytic/active site regions in all these polymerases showed a highly conserved catalytic amino acid K/R and the YG/A pair. A distance conservation is also observed between the active sites. Furthermore, two highly conserved Ds and DXD motifs are also observed and implicated in catalysis.

 

Conclusion: The highly conserved amino acid K/R acts as the proton abstractor in catalysis and the YG/A pair acts as a “steric gate” and along with a completely conserved R, select only dNTPS for polymerization reactions. The two highly conserved Ds act as the “charge shielder” of dNTPs and orient the alpha phosphate of incoming dNTPs to the 3’-OH end of the growing primer. Multiple sequence analyses have shown that a basic amino acid K/R and an YG pair are highly conserved in almost all DNA polymerases except in error-prone polymerases where the YG pair is not found at the expected distance from the catalytic K/R. SDM, biochemical and X-ray crystallographic analyses of DNA polymerase I from E. coli have also suggested their involvement in substrate binding and catalysis. Large numbers of highly/completely conserved monos, diads, triads are also found among different groups of DNA polymerases and they may play an important role in folding the proteins to the correct 3D structure. Based on these results, a mechanism of action is proposed for the polymerization reactions as well as for the proof-reading function of DNA polymerase I from E. coli as a model enzyme. A similar mechanism may be followed by other polymerases as the almost completely conserved K/R and YG pair are present in all of them.

SHORT-COURSE

“BIOINFORMATICS AND MACHINE LEARNING”

  

26-27 Settembre 2006 - Università Parthenope of Naples

 

Aula Didattica 1, Via Acton 38

 

Napoli

   

Contents

 

============

 

An unprecedented wealth of data is being generated by genome sequencing projects and other experimental efforts to determine the structure and function of biological molecules. The demands and opportunities for interpreting these data are expanding more than ever. Biotechnology, pharmacology, and medicine will be particularly affected by the new results and the increased understanding of life at the molecular level. Bioinformatics is the development and application of computer methods for analysis, interpretation, and prediction, as well as for the design of experiments. It has emerged as a strategic frontier between biology and computer science.

 

Machine learning approaches (e.g., neural networks, hidden Markov models, and belief networks) are ideally suited for areas where there is a lot of data but little theory--and this is exactly the situation in molecular biology. As with its predecessor, statistical model fitting, the goal in machine learning is to extract useful information from a body of data by building good probabilistic models. The particular twist behind machine learning, however, is to automate the process as much as possible.

===============

 

Pierre Baldi is Professor at the School of Information and Computer Science and the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine and the Director of the Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics. Born and raised in Europe, he received his PhD from the California Institute of Technology in 1986. From 1986 to 1988 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego. From 1988 to 1995 he held faculty and member of the technical staff positions at the California Institute of Technology and at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He was CEO of a startup company from 1995 to 1999 and joined UCI in 1999. He is the recipient of a 1993 Lew Allen Award at JPL and a Laurel Wilkening Faculty Innovation Award at UCI. Dr. Baldi has written over 100 research articles and four books:

 

(1) Modeling the Internet and the Web--Probabilistic Methods and Algorithms, Wiley, (2003);

(2) DNA Microarrays and Gene Regulation--From Experiments to Data Analysis and Modeling, Cambridge University Press, (2002);

(3) The Shattered Self--The End of Evolution, MIT Press, (2001);

(4) Bioinformatics: the Machine Learning Approach, MIT Press, Second Edition (2001).

 

His research focuses in various areas at the intersection of computational and life sciences, in particular the application of AI/statistical/machine learning methods to problems in bio and chemical informatics. The work of his group has resulted in several databases, software, and web servers that are widely used (http://www.igb.uci.edu/servers/servers.html). His main contributions include the development of Hidden Markov Models (HMMPro) for sequence analysis, recursive neural networks for de novo protein structure prediction (SCRATCH), Bayesian statistical methods for DNA microarray analysis (Cyber-T), informatics infrastructure for systems biology (SIGMOID) and, more recently, databases and tools in chemical informatics (ChemDB) for the prediction of molecular properties and applications in chemical synthesis, discovery, and drug design.

S. Sucha Singh Langah, Agriculture Minister of Punjab, addresses the audience at the official launch of the Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA), held in New Delhi, India on 5 October 2011. His speech recognized the important role that BISA will play in improving food security not only in his own state, but throughout the whole of South Asia.

It will provide support in the use of modern biotechnology and bioinformatics tools and supply effective and profitable technologies and crop varieties for conservation and precision agriculture. BISA will have centers in three states, Punjab, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, each of which contains varied agro-ecological zones allowing for testing of a variety of maize and wheat cultivars suited to the equally varied environments of South Asia.

 

S. Ayyappan, Secretary of the Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE) of the Ministry of Agriculture of India and Director General of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), opened the launch ceremony with a welcome address. This was followed by speeches from Ramkrishna Kusmaria, Agriculture Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Langah, and Sharad Pawar, the Union Minister for Agriculture and Food Processing Industries of India. Thomas Lumpkin, CIMMYT Director General, delivered the closing remarks, saying “CIMMYT has been in India for 50 years. It’s time we laid down some roots.”

 

In addition to CIMMYT-India staff, the CIMMYT management committee, and its Board of Trustees, the ceremony was attended by representatives from CIMMYT’s sister institutions ILRI, IRRI, and Bioversity, as well as from the Allan Mustard Institute of the US Department of Agriculture and the private sector. The event was closed by a dinner and a speech by the Board of Trustees Chair, Sara Boettiger.

www.sk.ru/en Boston, USA 18JUN2012

Representatives from the Skolkovo Foundation participated in the 2012 BIO International Convention at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center June 18-21. The conference, attended by pharmaceutical companies, teaching hospitals, venture capital firms and over 500 biotechnology companies, drew more than 15,000 attendees to the Boston area.

Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrett’s talk entitled “Massively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"

 

Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such “massively interacting” systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.

 

Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bio–sciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of socially– and biologically–coupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.

 

How does this situation serve to guide the development of “information portal technology” for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.

Researchers have now identified and catalogued more species that reside on the human skin than has ever been possible, largely due to advances in bioinformatics and laboratory techniques. Some of these previously unknown species are the most abundant on human skin. The results appear in a new catalog, the Skin Microbial Genome Collection (SMGC), published in Nature Microbiology. Investigators at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), European Bioinformatics Institute and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases participated in the collaborative study.
