Bioinformatics is the name given to these mathematical and computing approaches used to glean understanding of biological processes. Common activities in bioinformatics include mapping and analyzing DNA and protein sequences, aligning DNA and protein sequences to compare them, and creating and viewing 3-D models of protein structures.
The Biopython project is an open-source collection of non-commercial Python tools for computational biology and bioinformatics, created by an international association of developers. [1] [4] [5] It contains classes to represent biological sequences and sequence annotations, and it is able to read and write to a variety of file formats.
Machine learning in bioinformatics is the application of machine learning algorithms to bioinformatics, [1] including genomics, proteomics, microarrays, systems biology, evolution, and text mining. [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
BioJava is an open-source software project dedicated to provide Java tools to process biological data. [1] [2] [3] BioJava is a set of library functions written in the programming language Java for manipulating sequences, protein structures, file parsers, Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) interoperability, Distributed Annotation System (DAS), access to AceDB, dynamic ...
Structural bioinformatics is the branch of bioinformatics that is related to the analysis and prediction of the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules such as proteins, RNA, and DNA. It deals with generalizations about macromolecular 3D structures such as comparisons of overall folds and local motifs, principles of molecular ...
BLAST is one of the most widely used bioinformatics programs for sequence searching. [4] It addresses a fundamental problem in bioinformatics research. The heuristic algorithm it uses is much faster than other approaches, such as calculating an optimal alignment. This emphasis on speed is vital to making the algorithm practical on the huge ...
EMBER [permanent dead link ]: a European Multimedia Bioinformatics Educational Resource. EMBER was a European Union (EU) funded project aiming to develop a suite of multimedia bioinformatics educational tools [4]. EMBER comprises a self-contained, interactive Web tutorial in bioinformatics, & the equivalent stand-alone course on CD-ROM.
UGENE is computer software for bioinformatics. [1] [2] It works on personal computer operating systems such as Windows, macOS, or Linux.It is released as free and open-source software, under a GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2.
