2. Bioinformatics 2 (c) Mark Gerstein, 1999, Yale, bioinfo.mbb.yale.edu Original definition (1979 by Paulien Hogeweg): “application of information technology and computer science to the field of molecular biology” Biological Data + Computational Calculation

3. Derivation: Bio + Informatics BioBios (Greek)Life InformaticsInformatique (French) Data Processing

4. Why Use of Bioinformatics Why bioinformatics To Find an answer quickly - in-silicobiology is faster than in-vitro Massive amounts of data to analyse Need to make use of all information Not possible to do analysis by hand Can’t organise and store information only using lab note books Automation is key All results of computer analysis should to be verified by biologists

5. Data TypeData SizeTopics Raw DNA sequence8.2 million sequences (9.5 billion bases) Separating coding and non-coding regions Identification of introns and exons Gene product prediction Forensic analysis Protein sequence300,000 sequences (~300 amino acids each) Sequence comparison algorithms Multiple sequence alignments algorithms Identification of conserved sequence motifs Macromolecular structure 13,000 structures (~1,000 atomic coordinates each) Secondary, tertiary structure prediction 3D structural alignment algorithms Protein geometry measurements Surface and volume shape calculations Intermolecular interactions

6. Data TypeData SizeTopics Genomes40 complete genomes (1.6 million – 3 billion bases each) Characterisation of repeats Structural assignments to genes Phylogenetic analysis Genomic-scale censuses (characterisation of protein content, metabolic pathways) Linkage analysis relating specific genes to diseases Gene expressionlargest: ~20 time point measurements for ~6,000 genes Correlating expression patterns Mapping expression data to sequence, structural and biochemical data Quantity of each type of data that is currently (August 2000) available

7. Why Use of Bioinformatics  Biological data are being produced at a unusual rate.  On average, these databases are doubling in size every 15 months  To bring together and store vast amounts of information from Lab equipment and experiments Computer Analysis Human Analysis Make visible to the world’s scientists Without Bioinformatics, Human Genome Project could not have been achieved !!!

8.  Development and implementation of tools that enable efficient access to, and use and management of, various types of information.  Development of new algorithms and statistics with which to assess relationships among members of large data sets, such as methods to - locate a gene within a sequence, - predict protein structure and/or function, - uncover the wealth of biological information hidden in the mass of data - obtain a clear insight into the fundamental biological process of organisms. - identify malfunctions in these processes which lead to diseases - find approaches to improving drug discovery.

9. Bioinformatics Databases Public databases are the most important entity in bioinformatics Store knowledge about - Sequence e.g. EMBL - Structure e.g. PDB - Pathways e.g. KEGG - Interactions e.g. DIP - Diseases e.g. OMIM And many others … Can be searched in a variety of ways e.g. keyword, pattern, sequence
