    BIOINFORMATICS

Online Lectures on Bioinformatics

 
                        Complete set of lectures, covers all important topics in Bioinformatics. A very good start for computer students. Gives an excellent and simple introduction to biological concepts too.
 
 
                         A basic and an excellent introduction to the science underlying the Bioinformatics resources. Including basic introduction of cell, genome, molecular genetics.
 
 
 
 
 
                        Set of tutorials for both computer and biology students.
 
 
                      Whole book available online. A brief introductory primer on Molecular Biology and Artificial Intelligence gives computer students sufficient background to understand much of the biology discussed in the book. A must read for all computer students interested in Computational Biology.
 
 
                      Includes applications of many advanced topics of computer science like Neural networks, Bayesian networks, connectionist models in the fils of Bioinformatics.
 
 
 
                      The course consists of a series of lectures, demonstrations, and discussions that are directed at providing an overall understanding of how to analyze genetic sequence information by computer. This includes basic analyses such as restriction mapping and detection of coding sequences, to more advanced analyses such as sequence similarity searching, sequence comparisons and multi-sequence alignment; evolutionary analysis of gene families; prediction of functional motifs from primary sequence information; and current tools for the mapping, assembly, and analysis of genomic sequence information
 
 
                  This course provides an overview of sequence analysis methods, including pairwise alignment, hidden Markov models, multiple alignment, profile searches, RNA secondary structure analysis and phylogenetic inference. For each method, both the scoring function, typically involving a probabilistic model, and the algorithms that attempt to optimize the scoring function are addressed. The application of these methods is illustrated by several software tools, including BLAST, FASTA, HMMer, ClustalW, and others.
 
 
                 A Short And Simple Overview On What X-ray Crystallography Is All About.
 
 
                This BLAST information guide is designed to assist new and veteran users in employing NCBI tools such as BLAST and PSI-BLAST .
 
                Series contains lectures on Databases, Sequence alignment, Genomes and Metabolic networks.
 
 
                An animated primer on the basics of DNA , Gene, heredity. Organized around key concepts.The science behind each concept is explained by:animation, image gallery, video interviews, problem, biographies, and links.
 
 
               Lecture notes and excercises about practical analysis of microarray data, designing and fabrication.
 

Computational Management of Molecular Biological Information

               Lecture seies and hand-on exercises, aid to learn a compendium of algorithms that can search for sequence similarities, create alignments for finding consensus sequences, model 3-dimensional structures, and more
 
               The course will introduce structures, functions and evolution of proteins and nucleic acids, retrieve and interpret bioinformation from the Internet, learn principles, algorithms and software for sequence alignment, similarity search of sequence databases, estimation of phylogenetic trees, structural prediction and functional inference.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
