Find out more Skip Navigation Briefings in Bioinformatics is an international forum for researchers and educators in the life sciences. The journal will also be of interest to mathematicians, statisticians and computer scientists who apply their work to biological problems. The journal publishes reviews for the users of databases and analytical tools of contemporary genetics, molecular and systems biology and is unique in providing practical help and guidance to the non-specialist in computerized methodology. "Briefings in Bioinformatics is a superb journal, and I find it to be an essential resource for staying current with the field of bioinformatics. The field of bioinformatics evolves at a rapid pace, and this journal rigorously describes current progress and often anticipates likely future developments. From a practical point of view, I use information from these articles in the laboratory and I also reference the journal in my teaching and publications."

UC Riverside research could lead to innovative strategies for controlling mosquito populations IMAGE:Keira J. Lucas, a fifth-year Ph.D. graduate student in the Graduate Program in Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics at UC Riverside, is the research paper's first author. view more Credit: Raikhel Lab, UC Riverside. RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes have contributed to the death and suffering of millions throughout human history, earning the mosquito the title as the world's most dangerous animal. Even today, several devastating mosquito-borne diseases (such as malaria, dengue fever and West Nile virus) continue to rage. The urgent need to better control mosquito numbers and interfere with disease transmission has guided much mosquito research in laboratories worldwide. Female mosquitoes rely on a blood-meal as a source of nutrients required for reproduction. The thinking is that if the mechanisms that govern mosquitoes' egg production are better understood, novel approaches to controlling the reproduction and population of mosquitoes can be devised. Now a team of scientists at the University of California, Riverside has made a research breakthrough in understanding, at the molecular level, one such mechanism related to the mosquito reproductive process. This mechanism includes small regulatory RNA molecules known as microRNAs or miRNAs. The … Continue reading →

bioinformatics noun plural but singular in construction b--in-fr-ma-tiks SCRABBLE fan? Try our new word finder! 1988 Science that links biological data with techniques for information storage, distribution, and analysis to support multiple areas of research. The data of bioinformatics include DNA sequences of genes or full genomes; amino acid sequences of proteins; and three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and proteinnucleic acid complexes. Database projects curate and annotate the data and then distribute it via the World Wide Web. Mining these data leads to scientific discoveries, enables the development of efficient algorithms for measuring sequence similarity in DNA from different sources, and facilitates the prediction of interactions between proteins. 2014 Word of the Year: Behind the Scenes How the Months Got Their Names Webster's Dictionary of 1864 Longest Word in the Dictionary What made you want to look up bioinformatics?

A programme on bioinformatics, sponsored by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, began at the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) on Monday. R. Soudamini, Director, Bio Informatics Centre, National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Bangalore, inaugurated the three-week programme, titled The winter school on bioinformatics and its emerging dimensions in agriculture. She stressed the need for integration of data developed at various research centres to facilitate proper understanding of behaviour of proteins.
