πŸ’₯How to add gene expression data to an interaction network

🌐 Watch

πŸ”ŽDetails:
1. Load an interaction network on cytoscape from a file (uses bioGRID)
2. Filter nodes by species and create a sub-network from filtered nodes
3. Add your gene expression data to the network in the form of a table
4. Change the color of the nodes to represent the changes in gene expression
5. Search for a specific node in the network and create a sub-network from all nodes that interact with this node
6. Change the layout of the network
7. Save the network as an image
8. Save the node or edge table as a .csv file

πŸ“‘Gene Identification Tools in Bioinformatics
πŸ’₯One of the most essential aspects of bioinformatics is gene prediction. Gene prediction involves locating regions of genomic DNA that encode genes (protein-coding genes). Gene prediction or gene identification is extremely important because it helps scientists to distinguish between coding and non-coding regions of a genome, explain genes in terms of their function, conduct research related to detection, treatment, and prevention of genetic disorder diseases, etc. Genes are identified broadly via two methods, i.e., a) similarity-based searches and b) Ab-initio prediction. These methods are briefly discussed and related tools introduced.

πŸ“°A Quick Guide for Building a Successful Bioinformatics Community

From abstract: β€œScientific community” refers to a group of people collaborating together on scientific-research-related activities who also share common goals, interests, and values. Such communities play a key role in many bioinformatics activities. Communities may be linked to a specific location or institute, or involve people working at many different institutions and locations. Education and training is typically an important component of these communities, providing a valuable context in which to develop skills and expertise, while also strengthening links and relationships within the community. ....We present here a quick guide to building and maintaining a successful, high-impact bioinformatics community, along with an overview of the general benefits of participating in such communities.

πŸ“„A survey on deep learning in DNA/RNA motif mining

From abstract: DNA/RNA motif mining is the foundation of gene function research. The DNA/RNA motif mining plays an extremely important role in identifying the DNA- or RNA-protein binding site, which helps to understand the mechanism of gene regulation and management. Related algorithms can be divided into two categories: the enumeration approach and the probabilistic method. In recent years, machine learning methods had made great progress, especially the algorithm represented by deep learning had achieved good performance... We introduce the application of deep learning in the field of motif mining in terms of data preprocessing, features of existing deep learning architectures and comparing the differences between the basic deep learning models. ..
