I am looking for a presentation topic in bioinformatics. I haven't occupied with this field yet, but I find it really interesting.
It would be nice if the topic would include an algorithm. What source do you suggest to me?
A fairly easy to get to grips with topic, but that digs down to the meat of bioinformatics algorithms, is sequence alignment. Read around Needleman-Wunsch and Smith-Waterman alignment algorithms.
Wikipedia will be a perfectly adequate starting place :) - steal all the references at the bottom of the page!
I don't know how strong you maths ability is, but you'll find quite a few equations while you dig around in the bases of bioinformatics algorithms!
It depends on what you define as introduction. For a start you could always do what Joe Healy suggested and read around to see if it is a field that suits you.
If you want a textbook I found An Introduction to Bioinformatics by Jones and Pevzner to be indeed a great introduction to bioinformatics. It treats you like an absolute beginner and I think you will be able to follow no matter your programming or math abilities.
Now, if you want to get your hands dirty I can't recommend Project Rosalind enough. It introduces you to a variety of (mainly) programming problems while simultaneously teaching you the corresponding biologic concepts.
Phillip Compeau (co-founder of Rosalind) along with Pavel Pevzner have released a textbook of their own: Bioinformatics Algorithms: An Active-Learning Approach, which I admit I haven't read, but it is generally well recieved.
But before all that, I suggest to take a small introduction to Python (if you haven't already) and get familiar with the basic libraries (mainly BioPython). Perl is also a language you would like to consider, but far less beginner-friendly.
The fields of bioinformatics and computational biology at UCSF aim to investigate questions about biological composition, structure, function, and evolution of molecules, cells, tissues, and organisms using mathematics, informatics, statistics, and computer science.
Because these approaches allow large-scale and quantitative analyses of biological phenomena and data obtained from many disciplines, they can ask questions and achieve unique insights not imaginable before the genomic era.
Both bioinformatics and computational biology are frequently integrated in faculty laboratories, often with experimental studies as well, with bioinformatics emphasizing informatics and statistics, while computational biology emphasizes development of theoretical methods, mathematical modeling, and computational simulation techniques to answer these questions.
Examples of bioinformatics studies include analysis and integration of -omics data, prediction of protein function from sequence and structural information, and cheminformatics comparisons of protein ligands to identify off-target effects of drugs. Examples in computational biology include simulation of protein motion and folding and how proteins interact with each other.
Faculty members working in these areas include:
Research Stories
Chronic wounds
Prof. Heck's legacy
"This second annual CBCB research symposium highlights the rapid growth of the center, and its broadening impact across the University, the state and beyond," said Karl Steiner, senior associate professor for research development and professor of electrical and computer engineering.
Steiner added, "Bioinformatics provides the key tools to make new and exciting discoveries at the nexus of biology and information technology, and we are thrilled about the progress CBCB has made over the past three years.&rdquo
Cathy H. Wu, center director and the Edward G. Jefferson Chair of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at UD, said this year's symposium was designed to showcase the newly formed Bioinformatics Network of Delaware (BiND) and to provide a forum to catalyze the cross-fertilization of ideas and foster multidisciplinary research collaborations.
BiND includes UD and partner institutions Christiana Care Health System, Delaware State University, Delaware Technical and Community College, Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital for Children and Wesley College. It was established to integrate the bioinformatics and biostatistics resources available through the partner institutions to strengthen the Delaware INBRE (IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence) infrastructure and efforts to promote collaborative research and training.
The daylong symposium featured a keynote address by Mark Gerstein, the Albert L. Williams Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Yale University.
Gerstein spoke on the topic "Molecular Networks: The Next-Generation Annotation for Personal Genomes." His talk highlighted the development of algorithms used to tease apart the role of pseudogenes and transcription factors within a biological network.
Gerstein's research is a key example of applying bioinformatics to complex networks involving human processes.
The symposium was organized in conjunction with the Bioinformatics ShortCourse: RNA-Seq Data Analysis, which was hosted by CBCB.
This introductory certificate course prepared participants to analyze high-throughput transcriptomic sequencing (RNA-Seq) data with open source software packages. Lectures and hands-on exercises emphasized practical application, walking participants through the process of designing RNA-Seq experiments and analyzing/visualizing resulting data sets.
Attendees at the workshop and symposium included representatives from Nemours, Christiana Care Health System, DuPont, Delaware State University, Delaware Technical and Community College, U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Wesley College and UD.
The symposium also featured presentations and posters from all BiND institutions. Yogasudha Veturi, a master's student in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences at UD, was selected as the winner of the student poster award and gave an award presentation about her poster.
2. Transcriptomics
Transcriptomics is the study of an organism’s transcriptome. The transcriptome is referred to as the sum of an organism’s RNA transcripts. The DNA information in the genome gets converted to RNA through a process called transcription. A segment of DNA that gets transcribed into an RNA molecule is called a transcription unit which encodes genes.
A few research problems in transcriptomics include,
- Transcriptome assembly
- Transcriptome mapping
- Applications of transcriptomics in autoimmune diseases
- Differential expression of miRNAs
- The Genomics Lab includes an Illumina MiSeq where undergraduate students sequence and annotate whole-genomes of a variety of organisms.
- Recent bioinformatics graduates are employed at the Cleveland Clinic, Newport Labs, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
- Bioinformatics students gain career exposure and hands-on experience through a required co-op experience.
- With a 100% outcomes rate, bioinformatics graduates jump into a number of exciting careers immediately after graduation. They utilize their analytical and computational skills to solve real-world problems.
Bioinformatics is the intersection of biology and computer science. In this major, you’ll analyze big data collected by the healthcare industry to discover, diagnose, and treat a wide range of medical conditions. A rapidly growing field that requires professionals to possess problem-solving skills, you’ll gain hands-on learning through distinct undergraduate research opportunities. Graduates pursue graduate degrees and go on to successful careers in bioinformatics software development, biomedical research, biotechnology, comparative genomics, genomics, molecular imaging, pharmaceutical research and development, proteomics, and vaccine development.
Bioinformaticists use computers to analyze, organize, and visualize biological data in ways that increase the understanding of this data and lead to new discoveries. In laboratory exercises and assignments, you’ll learn to sequence DNA and use computer programs to analyze DNA sequences and predict molecular models.
The bioinformatics degree was developed by faculty in the departments of biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and statistics, and information technology, with the guidance from leaders in the bioinformatics and biotechnology industries. The major meets the needs of prospective employers in this challenging and rapidly changing and growing field.
Bioinformatics is a field that has been developing over the last thirty years. It is a discipline that represents a marriage between biotechnology and computer technologies and has evolved through the convergence of advances in each of these fields. Today bioinformatics is a field that encompasses all aspects of the application of computer technologies to biological data. Computers are used to organize, link, analyze and visualize complex sets of biological data.
With the advent of high-throughput technologies such as Next Generation Sequencing and proteomics, bioinformatics has become essential to the biological sciences in general. In the past, laboratories were able to manage and analyze their experimental data in spreadsheets. Many research labs now require the expertise of dedicated bioinformatics core centers or their own in-house bioinformaticists.
Graduates of our programs have entered such laboratories, both in industry and academia, as bioinformaticists. Some have also gone on to leverage their biotechnology experiences as wet lab experimentalists themselves. The diversity of skills our students cultivate has given them access to a wide range of career choices.
Nature of Work
Bioinformatics jobs come with several different areas of focus, which are less strictly hierarchical than bioscience discovery research jobs. The analyst/programmer job provides more focused computational analysis support. Analyst/programmers design and develop software, databases, and interfaces used to analyze and manipulate genomic databases. They collaborate with production to develop high-throughput data processing and analysis capability and to design and implement data queries, novel algorithms, and/or visualization techniques. Analyst/programmers also maintain large-scale DNA databases, prepare data for other scientists, monitor new data from integrating sequence-based/ functional knowledge about genes to help scientists analyze and interpret gene-expression data. They also analyze DNA information and identify opportunities for innovative solutions to analyze and manage biological data. In addition, they often assist in developing software and custom scripts to automate data retrieval, manipulation, and analysis application of statistics and visualization tools.

Bioinformatics Project Ideas/Topics Collection For Engineering Students
Here is a list of project ideas based on Bioinformatics. Students belonging to third year or final year can use these projects as mini-projects as well as mega-projects. This list has been complied after searching for project ideas across the net.
- Predicting Cellular Localization. Eukaryotic cells contain several sub-compartments, the Cellular Localization problem consists of predicting which compartment a protein is most likely to be found, on the basis of sequence information alone. The project may consist of a review of the literature and/or a novel analysis (I have access to a data-set that has never been used in a predictive context).
- Regulatory-motifs. Review of the literature on algorithms to automatically determine regulatory motifs (short sequence signals) in DNA sequence data. I have a Java library that can be used to implement a prototype application see suffix tree below.
Specifically, is there a way to extend the dynamic programming
structure prediction algorithms to obtain a polynomial time algorithm
for the above question?
2. Combinatorial Design of Universal DNA Tag Systems.
Short DNA tags are used to label molecules in a
chemical library or to anchor DNA molecules to DNA arrays. A
combinatorial approach to design of DNA tags was proposed by Ben-Dor
et al. (RECOMB, 2000), based on the of
strand duplexes. However, the measure of melting temperature used in
the paper is less than ideal more accurate measures, based on nearest
neighbour calculations, are preferred.
3. A resource bounded theory of DNA self-assembly.
Molecular self-assembly naturally gives rise to
numerous complex forms. Self-assembly of DNA molecules with
programmable interactions can be used to construct structures at a
nano-metre scale.
Rothemund and Winfree propose a formal model for studying
self-assembled objects from the point of view of computational
complexity, and study the complexity of self-assembly of a
square in this model.
4. Phylogenetic classification of organisms based on sequence tags.
Given a (potentially partial) phylogenetic tree, develop strategies
and algorithms for placing sequences in that tree based on knowledge
of a short subsequence (tag) only.
This project is potentially of immediate and significant practical relevance
in the context of a collaboration we have with Bill Mohn and Michael Murphy
from the UBC Dept of Microbiology and Immunology.
5. RNA Secondary Structure Prediction.
Develop and test a (heuristic) algorithm that can predict RNA secondary structures
with pseudoknots. Since the problem is combinatorially hard, we expect that
stochastic local seach techniques might be particularly effective for solving
it algorithmically.
6. Multiple digestion restriction site mapping.
Implement a few known techniques for solving this problem,
try to improve them with modern heuristic techniques, and
do a comparative analysis of their performance on real genomic data.
Bioinformatics - Lab Report Example
Blast P Down syndrome is a condition that occurs because of a genetic defect. A normal person has 46 chromosomes while a person with Down syndrome has 47 chromosomes. This extra chromosome affects the brain and body development. Down syndrome is very common and is the cause of many birth defects in humans (Selikowitz 6). Down syndrome can be diagnosed at birth: the doctor can look at the appearance of the baby or listen to the baby’s chest using a stethoscope. A blood test can also be done to confirm the diagnosis by checking the extra chromosome.
I chose a protein from a human being accession number NP_001380 (Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule isoform CHD2-42 precursor). After conducting a blast p search, I chose the following proteins EFR29682.1 a hypothetical protein from Anopheles darlingi it had an E value of 10. This protein is not in any way related to Down syndrome. This is a protein from mosquito saliva and matches by chance. This E value is high its significance is low in relation to Down syndrome (Pevsner 7).Protein 2 is EGW12244.
1 known as Down syndrome critical region protein 3–like from Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus). This protein has an E value of 1 and is related to Down syndrome since the E value is very low. The hamster genome is similar to the human genome (Pevsner 15). Protein 3 was XP_002122877 with an E value of 0.4 it is a protein predicted to be similar to Down syndrome critical region protein 3 (Down syndrome critical region protein A). It is a protein from Ciona intestinalis, an invertebrate that is closest to humans and shares 80 % of the genome.
Open thesis topics
Advances in sequencing technologies have enabled the study of microbial communities, their composition and their genetic potential. In a culture-independent approach known as metagenomics, DNA is obtained directly from the environment and the resulting sequence data is analyzed in order to derive taxonomic community profiles as well as metabolic potential. In a similar manner, translated mRNA of bacterial communities is sequenced (environmental ``RNA-Seq'' or metatranscriptomics) and processed, thereby allowing to identify transcribed genes and perform differential gene expression analysis.
For the management, storage and analysis of such datasets, we have developed and operate the MGX platform, a client-server framework enabling scientists to conveniently process sequence data obtained from microbial communities. MGX offers a wide range of different analysis workflows for taxonomic and functional profiling of metagenome datasets based on unassembled sequence data. Recently, MGX was also extended with a pipeline based on the Common Workflow Language (CWL) supporting metagenome assembly, gene prediction, quantification and taxonomic binning.
Within the scope of de.NBI, the German network for bioinformatics infrastructure, MGX is provided as one the flagship services by the Bielefeld-Giessen Center for microbial bioinformatics.
Thesis aims
- Design and implementation of a bioinformatics pipeline for the de novo assembly, quantification, and binning of metatranscriptome datasets based on CWL,
- performance evaluation of the pipeline with regard to choice of transcriptome
assembler software (e.g.Trinity, rnaSPAdes) , and - exemplary analysis of a sample metatranscriptome dataset.
Prerequisites
- In-depth knowledge of the Linux command line
- Prior experience with workflow systems, preferably Common Workflow Language (CWL)
- Ability to work independently
- Methodical way of working
Also, additional thesis topics are offered by the group for Algorithmic Bioinfomatics of Prof. Stefan Janssen a comprehensive list of open theses is available.

I congratulate, it seems magnificent idea to me is
It's just awesome :)
I believe that you are wrong. Let's discuss this.
Indeed, and as I have never understood
