Information management applied to bioinformaticsVyas, Hiten January 2006 (has links)
Bioinformatics, the discipline concerned with biological information management is essential in the post-genome era, where the complexity of data processing allows for contemporaneous multi level research including that at the genome level, transcriptome level, proteome level, the metabolome level, and the integration of these -omic studies towards gaining an understanding of biology at the systems level. This research is also having a major impact on disease research and drug discovery, particularly through pharmacogenomics studies. In this study innovative resources have been generated via the use of two case studies. One was of the Research & Development Genetics (RDG) department at AstraZeneca, Alderley Park and the other was of the Pharmacogenomics Group at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge UK. In the AstraZeneca case study senior scientists were interviewed using semi-structured interviews to determine information behaviour through the study scientific workflows. Document analysis was used to generate an understanding of the underpinning concepts and fonned one of the sources of context-dependent information on which the interview questions were based. The objectives of the Sanger Institute case study were slightly different as interviews were carried out with eight scientists together with the use of participation observation, to collect data to develop a database standard for one process of their Pharmacogenomics workflow. The results indicated that AstraZeneca would benefit through upgrading their data management solutions in the laboratory and by development of resources for the storage of data from larger scale projects such as whole genome scans. These studies will also generate very large amounts of data and the analysis of these will require more sophisticated statistical methods. At the Sanger Institute a minimum information standard was reported for the manual design of primers and included in a decision making tree developed for Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCRs). This tree also illustrates problems that can be encountered when designing primers along with procedures that can be taken to address such issues.

High performance reconfigurable architectures for bioinformatics and computational biology applicationsKasap, Server January 2010 (has links)
The field of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB), a relatively new discipline which spans the boundaries of Biology, Computer Science and Engineering, aims to develop systems that help organise, store, retrieve and analyse genomic and other biological information in a convenient and speedy way. This new discipline emerged mainly as a result of the Human Genome project which succeeded in transcribing the complete DNA sequence of the human genome, hence making it possible to address many problems which were impossible to even contemplate before, with a plethora of applications including disease diagnosis, drug engineering, bio-material engineering and genetic engineering of plants and animals; all with a real impact on the quality of the life of ordinary individuals. Due to the sheer immensity of the data sets involved in BCB algorithms (often measured in tens/hundreds of Gigabytes) as well as their computation demands (often measured in Tera-Ops), high performance supercomputers and computer clusters have been used as implementation platforms for high performance BCB computing. However, the high cost as well as the lack of suitable programming interfaces for these platforms still impedes a wider undertaking of this technology in the BCB community. Moreover, with increased heat dissipation, supercomputers are now often augmented with special-purpose hardware (or ASICs) in order to speed up their operations while reducing their power dissipation. However, since ASICs are fully customised to implement particular tasks/algorithms, they suffer from increased development times, higher Non-Recurring-Engineering (NRE) costs, and inflexibility as they cannot be reused to implement tasks/algorithms other than those they have been designed to perform. On the other hand, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have recently been proposed as a viable alternative implementation platform for BCB applications due to their flexible computing and memory architecture which gives them ASIC-like performance with the added programmability feature. In order to counter the aforementioned limitations of both supercomputers and ASICs, this research proposes the use of state-of-the-art reprogrammable system-on-chip technology, in the form of platform FPGAs, as a relatively low cost, high performance and reprogrammable implementation platform for BCB applications. This research project aims to develop a sophisticated library of FPGA architectures for bio-sequence analysis, phylogenetic analysis, and molecular dynamics simulation.
