Data Pushing: A Fly-Centric Guide to Bioinformatics Tools

Bioinformatics Data Profiling Tools: A Prelude to Metabolic Profiling

The term metabolic profiling is often used to denote the systematic characterization of the unique biochemical trails or fingerprints left behind by cellular processes. Advances in computational biosciences are often invaluable in dealing with the huge amount of raw data generated from the countless biochemical intermediates that flood the cell at any given time. As a prelude to metabolic profi...

A Guide to Bioinformatics for Immunologists

Bioinformatics includes a suite of methods, which are cheap, approachable, and many of which are easily accessible without any sort of specialized bioinformatic training. Yet, despite this, bioinformatic tools are under-utilized by immunologists. Herein, we review a representative set of publicly available, easy-to-use bioinformatic tools using our own research on an under-annotated human gene,...

Bioinformatics tools for analysing viral genomic data.

The field of viral genomics and bioinformatics is experiencing a strong resurgence due to high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology, which enables the rapid and cost-effective sequencing and subsequent assembly of large numbers of viral genomes. In addition, the unprecedented power of HTS technologies has enabled the analysis of intra-host viral diversity and quasispecies dynamics in relation...

Immunopharmacology: a Guide to Novel Therapeutic Tools

A guide to performing systematic literature reviews in bioinformatics

Bioinformatics research depends on high-quality databases to provide accurate results. In silico experiments, correctly performed, may prospect novel discoveries and elucidates pathways for biological experiments through data analysis in large scale. However, most biological databases have presented mistakes, such as data incorrectly classified or incomplete information. Also, sometimes, data m...
