Pathway Curation: An Upcoming Area in Bioinformatics
With the existing boom in data technologies, we see its application in nearly every single aspect of our life. “Bioinformatics” is the subject, which deals with the application of info technology in the field of biology, for example usage of computing power for drug designing, protein modeling, sequencing genomes and proteins and so on. Pathway curation is 1 branch/part of bioinformatics. A pathway is a representation of a set of related reactions in a given context, i.e. glycolysis, Krebs cycle or apoptosis [1]. Due to the fact of extensive analysis, with tools like High-throughput genomics and DNA microarrays, researchers have accumulated high volumes of information that are frequently too significant for manual assessment. Mathematical and statistical analysis can be done to structure the large information volumes. Based on various computational algorithms, … Read entire article »
Animal Models for Therapeutic Strategies
Model organisms have lengthy been a mainstay of fundamental and applied study in the life sciences. Among model organisms, it is model animals that have had a central place in medical investigation and in pharmaceutical and biotechnology business investigation, including drug discovery, preclinical studies, and toxicology. Despite the fact that pharmaceutical organizations have lengthy employed animal models based on such mammalian species as mice and rats, dogs, cats, pigs, and primates, far more recently the pharmaceutical/biotechnology business has also adopted several invertebrate and lower vertebrate animal models that have emerged from academic laboratories. These animal models include the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the fruit fly Drosophila, and the zebrafish. The adoption of invertebrate and zebrafish animal models by industry has been driven by the advent of genomics, particularly the obtaining that … Read entire article »
Innovative Ocean Technology
Introduction The ocean technologies test bed (OTTB) will be an engineering laboratory, located on the sea floor. The OTTB will be integrated with the Experimental Network under the sea observatory. It will enable scientific instrument prototyping, ocean technology development and systems engineering. More particularly, it will facilitate analysis into the technologies needed to extend the reach of cabled ocean observatories making use of underwater vehicles, autonomous instrumentation, acoustic networks and manufacturing. In the Sea, machine layout difficulty is solved by Group Technology concept. This article developed the implementation of group technologies at ocean technology. Description The ocean technologies test bed (OTTB) will be an integrated laboratory suitable for scientific instrument prototyping, ocean technology development, systems engineering and basic marine science, located on the sea floor. This innovative technology has a broad range of … Read entire article »
