Bioinformatics Presentations
An attempt has been made to made the course of Bioinformatics better presentable and understandable. In an effort in this direction, a series of over 15 presentations, containing over 800 slides has been developed. The intention is to arrange about 1000-1200 slides covering almost every part of bioinformatics. These presentations do contain material taken from researchers and scientists from this field. My hearty acknowledgements to them for sharing the information with the entire world...
- Preamble - contains just a brief introduction to presentations in this series
- Overview of Bioinformatics - little information about bioinformatics, definitions of some commonly used terms
- A Glance on Genetics - I - contains information that forms the basis for bioinformaticians
- A Glance on Genetics - II (Part A, Part B and Part C) - continuation of the above presentation on genetics
- Data Acquisition Tools & Techniques - description of various tools and techniques used in bio-sciences such as mass spectrography, crystallography, etc.
- Sequence Alignment Techniques - description on how the sequences are aligned locally within itself as well as comparison with other genetic sequences, their problems, etc.
- Annotation & Visualization Techniques - annotation and visualization forms the most important aspect of bioinformatics and it is envisaged that it should be taught as a separate subject all together
- Structural Bioinformatics - the focus here is on protein structures and their comparison
- Data Analysis Tools & Techniques - I (Part A and Part B) - it provides information about various techniques on data analysis such as clustering, classification and other issues
- Data Analysis Tools & Techniques - II - continuation of the above presentation
- Microarray Data Analysis (Part A and Part B) - presentations specially dedicated for gene expression microarrays and data processing
- Higher Order Systems - brings out some basic information of genetic regulatory networks
- Cheminformatics & Pharmainformatics - bioinformatics application in chemistry and pharmacology is also important in terms of drug designing
- Medical Informatics - this a totally separate presentation that covers details of bioinformatics applications in the medical discipline; covers basic information on cancer also
- Bio-ethics - this is a new area in terms of problems and solutions linked to pre- and post-implementation aspects of bioinformatics applications
- New & Alied Areas - many new areas are adding up such as palanteogenomics, nutrigenomics, etc.
