Technique / Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics and computational biology involve the use of techniques including applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, chemistry, and biochemistry to solve biological problems usually on the molecular level. Research in computational biology often overlaps with systems biology.

Data analysis and bioinformatics tools for tandem mass spectrometry in proteomics.

Data processing is a central and critical component of a successful proteomics experiment, and is often the most time-consuming step. There have been considerable advances in the field of proteomics informatics in the past 5 years, spurred mainly by free and open-source software tools. Along with the gains afforded by new software, the benefits of making raw data and processed results freely available to the community in data repositories are finally in evidence. In this review, we provide an overview of the general analysis approaches, software tools, and repositories that are enabling successful proteomics research via tandem mass spectrometry.

Bioinformatics applications for pathway analysis of microarray data.

Changes in transcript levels are assessed by microarray analysis on an individual basis, essentially resulting in long lists of genes that were found to have significantly changed transcript levels. However, in biology these changes do not occur as independent events as such lists suggest, but in a highly coordinated and interdependent manner. Understanding the biological meaning of the observed changes requires elucidating such biological interdependencies. The most common way to achieve this is to project the gene lists onto distinct biological processes often represented in the form of gene-ontology (GO) categories or metabolic and regulatory pathways as derived from literature analysis. This review focuses on different approaches and tools employed for this task, starting form GO-ranking methods, covering pathway mappings, finally converging on biological network analysis. A brief outlook of the application of such approaches to the newest microarray-based technologies (Chromatin-ImmunoPrecipitation, ChIP-on-chip) concludes the review.
