Application examples This course Databases End Contact What is Bioinformatics? What is Bioinformatics? • Bioinformatics 6= sequence analysis There is: • Automatic analysis of literature • Analysis of gene expression • Proteins as molecules, not sequences • Interactions between gene and/or proteins • Modeling the cell ”In silico biology”, computational biology Refinement of lab results Reduction of wet-lab work by computational predictions: • ”Which gene could cause this?” • ”What 3D structure does this protein have?” • Structuring and handling of datasets in molecular biology Structure: ”What is a gene? How do we store its information?” • Infrastructure: ”How can researchers access this data?” • Contact What is Bioinformatics? Application examples This course Databases This course What it is not My take: • Extracting knowledge from biomolecular data • • • Application examples End Contact What is Bioinformatics? Central theme : Methods Application examples This course Databases End Course goals • Understand possibilities and limitations with Bioinformatics • Be able to use lab-supporting Method = Algorithm + Data + Art Contact What is Bioinformatics? Application examples This course Databases What is not in the course Bioinformatics in the industry. • Work in a lab and use Bioinformatics for analyzing results. • Prepare for PhD studies End Contact What is Bioinformatics? Application examples This course Databases In general • Is this a novel gene? • • • • Wet lab Biophysics Statistics (well, a little bit) No programming • I have a novel protein. What structure does it have? • What genes are found in platypus? End Contact What is Bioinformatics? Application examples This course Databases End Contact Example: Wood genes and frogs Application examples This course Databases This course Databases End Basic idea for Swedish Human Proteome Resource: • In what tissues are proteins/genes active? Where in the cell? • Consider all known human genes, choose peptides • Generate antibodies for selected peptides • Stain tissues with antibodies • Study, annotate, and store in database Henrik Aspeborg, KTH: • Found new gene in hybrid aspen • Very active during wood formation • 60 aa strongly similar to a pattern first found in frog. Function: localizes to microtubuli • Contains typical phosphorelation sites What is Bioinformatics? Application examples Example: Lab support for HPR Goal: How do you synthesize cellulose? • Sequence genes active during wood formation • Compare with known genes: What’s new? • Look for interesting properties Contact What is Bioinformatics?
