چکیده

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of completely sequenced bacterial genomes during the past two years as a result of the efforts both of public genome agencies and the pharmaceutical industry. The availability of completely sequenced genomes permits more systematic analyses of genes, evolution and genome function than was otherwise possible. Using computational methods - which are used to identify genes and their functions including statistics, sequence similarity, motifs, profiles, protein folds and probabilistic models - it is possible to develop characteristic genome signatures, assign functions to genes, identify pathogenic genes, identify metabolic pathways, develop diagnostic probes and discover potential drug-binding sites. All of these directions are critical to understanding bacterial growth, pathogenicity and host-pathogen interactions.

Comparative genomics of human stem cell factor (SCF)

Stem cell factor (SCF) is a critical protein with key roles in the cell such as hematopoiesis, gametogenesis and melanogenesis. In the present study a comparative analysis on nucleotide sequences of SCF was performed in Humanoids using bioinformatics tools including NCBI-BLAST, MEGA6, and JBrowse. Our analysis of nucleotide sequences to find closely evolved organisms with high similarity by NCB...

Genes carry instructions to make protein that affect body's cells and their physical activity. They also play an important role in the occurrence of various characteristics in the body. Recently, scientists in the new field of science known as genomics have studied the genetic instructions. Genomics deals with the discovery of all the sequences in the entire genome of organisms and is used to s...

Preface: RECOMB Systems Biology, Regulatory Genomics, and DREAM 2011 Special Issue

Over the past 10 years, the study of cell regulatory processes and their integration within complex ‘‘systems-level’’ models of cell physiology and cell pathology has flourished, with geometric increase in scientific publications and impact on biology. Within the broad spectrum of molecular biology disciplines, systems biology and regulatory genomics are perhaps the ones that have been most cha...
