UniProt is a powerful online database that contains information on millions of proteins found in living organisms. It is an essential tool for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the study of life sciences. In this article, we will explain what UniProt is, how it works, and its significance in the world of biological research. …
In bioinformatics, the BED file format is a commonly used file format for storing genomic data. BED stands for “Browser Extensible Data,” and it is used to represent annotation and other data for a genome region. In this blog post, we will explore the BED file format and its applications in bioinformatics. What is a …
As a bioinformatician, you will be working with large amounts of biological and molecular data, which means that you need to have a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts in these fields. Molecular biology is a fascinating and complex field of study that deals with the study of the biological processes at the molecular level. …

DNA sequencing is a way to read the genetic code that makes up all living things. It is like reading a recipe book for life, except that the “ingredients” are different molecules that make up the DNA. The state-of-the-art DNA sequencing technologies use advanced machines and computer programs to rapidly read and analyze large amounts …
Introduction The FASTA file format is a widely used text-based file format for storing biological sequence information, such as DNA and protein sequences. It was developed in the early 1980s by William Pearson and David Lipman, and it has since become the de facto standard for sequence data storage and exchange. In this article, we …
This tutorial walks you through building a breast cancer survivability prediction classifier which use clinical and gene expression data by employing machine learning techniques. Overview Cancer is a disease in which cells in the human body grow uncontrollably. This phenomenon often spreads to other parts of the body. Human bodies contain trillions of cells. Human …

Introduction Probability distributions are cornerstones in the theory of machine learning. The entire field of machine learning is often theoretically viewed or explained from a probabilistic perspective. Compared to the linear algebraic point of view, the probabilistic perspective gives formulations of machine learning algorithms that are more impressive. Binomial distribution is one of the many …
The Jupyter Notebook is best suited for doing as well as documenting empirical research. It can contain text, code images, videos, interactive content, and also nicely typesetting equations. This makes anyone doing simulations or empirical research prototype their work and share it with their colleagues. The same Jupyter notebook can be used to visualize protein …

Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been useful and easy to use for all types of computer users. We all use it every day to get things done. However, the computing history has the provision to do command-line instructions also to do the same things. Linux terminal is one such command line interface. Let us take …
In STEM fields it is often required to communicate ideas using graphs or infographics. Many times the dimensionality of data will be higher and require clever hacks to represent so that the reader gets the idea quickly. There have been systematic studies on how to do data visualization effectively. For data scientists or machine learning …
