🔬🌟 Hello, Bioinformatics Enthusiasts! 🧬💡

As the admin of our BioinformaticsPoint Telegram group, I'm excited to share something truly inspiring with you all. I've come across a fascinating article in Nature that I believe is a must-read for anyone interested in bioinformatics and its potential for your career.

The article, titled "Bioinformatics is a rewarding career in need of new recruits," highlights the incredible opportunities this field offers. It mentions that a career in bioinformatics can be intellectually satisfying and financially lucrative, and the best part is, it's open to anyone with a relevant background. However, there's a catch: new researchers are in frustratingly short supply.

Are bioinformaticians in demand? Adil Mardinoglu, an expert in bioinformatics and a professor of systems biology at King’s College London and KTH-Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, says, "With datasets growing faster than they can be thoroughly analyzed, there’s a desperate need for new talent. It’s very difficult for me to retain my post-docs, because they are in high demand. We often lose them to pharma or start-up companies after a year or two, but I don’t begrudge this because it allows them to acquire new skills and progress their careers."

Why is this important for you? Well, bioinformatics is at the intersection of biology and technology, and it's an ever-evolving field where you can be at the forefront of groundbreaking research. The shortage of new researchers means there's a world of opportunity waiting for those who dive into this field.

So, I invite you all to read the article and join our discussions in this group. Let's explore the potential of bioinformatics, share knowledge, and inspire each other to make a difference in this exciting field.

Let's seize this opportunity and embark on this incredible journey together! 💪👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

📌 Today's course: Sequence Alignment and Phylogenetic Training

Don't miss this course to quickly and effectively learn sequence alignment and phylogenetic trees through PhyML practice.

🌟 Enroll now: https://bioinformy.com/course/sequence-alignment-and-phylogenetics

Participants in this course will achieve significant milestones in the field of bioinformatics. By the end of the training, you will have acquired the following key skills:

1. Sequence Alignment Knowledge: Learn how to align nucleic sequences and detect similarities or differences. Sequence alignment is a fundamental skill for genetic data analysis.

2. Pairwise Sequence Alignment: Understand the methods used to determine similarities and differences between two different sequences, a crucial step for various bioinformatics analyses such as homology studies and database searches.

3. Multiple Sequence Alignment: Discover how to identify similarities and patterns among three or more sequences. This skill is critical for tasks like phylogenetic analysis, functional annotation, and detecting conserved motifs.

4. Phylogenetic Trees and Evolutionary Models: Gain insights into what phylogenetic trees are, how they are constructed, and how to interpret them. You will also comprehend evolutionary models and the evolution of genetic sequences.

5. Tree Construction Methods: Develop the ability to construct phylogenetic trees using various tree construction methods, essential for the study and tracking of evolutionary relationships.

6. Use of PhyML Tool: Hone your ability to perform phylogenetic analyses using widely-used tools like PhyML, encompassing the technical skills required for genetic data analysis.

Hello,

Bioinformy Student Society is holding its first article workshop! Become a member to attend this workshop, which will be held on Wednesday, November 29 at 20.00! In our online workshop to be held by ERES Biotechnology Bioengineering Intern Oğuzhan Güven, we will examine the article "In silico Methods for Identification of Potential Therapeutics Targets".


Bioinformy Student Society is a community that supports and brings together bioinformatics-related studies among students. As Bioinformy Student Society, a group consisting of university and graduate students, we aim to organize and support activities such as developing projects together, trainings, and knowledge sharing. You can establish connections with experienced names in the sector, shape your career in this field and share knowledge with other students.


If you would like to be a part of this exciting community, you can click on the link below and register to join the Bioinformy Student Society:

Your participation is valuable to us and we would be happy to have you among us. If you have questions, you can contact us without hesitation.


Best Regards,
Hello everyone, I want to share an interesting competition with you all. If you participate, please share your experiences with us too ❤️

Protein Design Competition
In this competition, you can test your skills as a protein designer by designing a binding protein to the extracellular domain of EGFR, a cancer-associated drug target. The best designs will be experimentally validated in our automated wet lab and all results will be open-sourced.

https://design.adaptyvbio.com
The NIH Office of Technology Transfer has created a webpage where the public can view a list of all active NIH patents and patent applications.

More info is available on website: go.nih.gov/9tZppWD
