Introduction to Bioinformatics

  • Teaching Assistance
  • Oleg Rokhlenko

What is Bioinformatics?
3
Course Objectives
  • To introduce the bioinfomatics discipline
  • To make the students familiar with the major
    biological questions which can be addressed by
    bioinformatics tools
  • To introduce the major tools used for sequence
    and structure analysis and explain in general
    how they work (limitation etc..)

4
Course Structure and Requirements
  • Class Structure
  • Each class (except the first one) will be divided
    into two parts
  • Lecture (in lecture room)
  • A Training Lab (in computer lab)
  • For the Training Lab the class will be divided to
    2 groups.
  • Each one of the groups will meet every second
    week,
  • starting from the second week.
  • The work in the Training Labs will be in pairs.
  • Lab assignments will be submitted at the end of
    each lab.
  • Preparing yourself for the lab- A tutorial
    including self home exercise and their answers
    will be posted on the web a week before the lab
  • 2. A final home exam

5
Grading
  • 30 lab assignments
  • 70 final exam

What is Bioinformatics?
9
What is Bioinformatics?
The field of science in which biology, computer
science, and information technology merge to form
a single discipline Ultimate goal to enable
the discovery of new biological insights as well
as to create a global perspective from which
unifying principles in biology can be discerned.
10
from purely lab-based science to an information
science
Bioinformatics Bio Informatics
11
Central Paradigm in Molecular Biology
mRNA
Gene (DNA)
Protein
12
Genome
  • Chromosomal DNA of an organism
  • Coding and non-coding DNA
  • Genome size and number of genes does not
    necessarily determine organism complexity

13
Transcriptome
  • Complete collection of all possible mRNAs
    (including splice variants) of an organism.
  • Regions of an organisms genome that get
    transcribed into messenger RNA.
  • Transcriptome can be extended to include all
    transcribed elements, including non-coding RNAs
    used for structural and regulatory purposes.

14
Proteome
  • The complete collection of proteins that can be
    produced by an organism.
  • Can be studied either as static (sum of all
    proteins possible) or dynamic (all proteins found
    at a specific time point) entity

The Human Genome Project
  • Initiated in 1986 Completed
    in 2003
  • Project goals were to
  • identify all the genes in human DNA,
  • determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical
    base pairs that make up human DNA,
  • store this information in databases,
  • improve tools for data analysis and develop new
    tools
  • address the ethical, legal, and social issues
    that may arise from the project.

The Human Genome Project
  • Initiated in 1986 Completed
    in 2003
  • How did we do??
  • identify all the genes in human DNA ? ?
  • determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical
    base pairs that make up human DNA ? ? ?
  • store this information in databases ? ? ?
  • improve tools for data analysis and develop new
    tools ? ? ?
  • address the ethical, legal, and social issues
    that may arise from the project ?

20
What makes us human?
21
How humans are chimps?
Perhaps not surprising!!! Comparison between the
full drafts of the human and chimp
genomes revealed that they differ only by 1.23
22

  • Researchers have learned a great deal about the
    function of human genes by examining their
    counterparts in simpler model organisms such as
    the mouse.

factor) Between human and mouse.
