The term “bioinformatics” has gained popularity over the past decade. Bioinformatics is a word used to describe the type of computational analysis carried out on datasets from biological science studies. Bioinformatics is an important step in a genomic experiment. However, the significance of this step… [Read more]
ChIP-Seq and Analysis
ChIP-seq (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing) is a method that combines the DNA linked proteome information obtained from IP with next-generation sequencing. Most commonly, ChIP-seq is used to identify regions of the genome that are targeted by transcription factors or analyze histone/chromatin modifications. ChIP-seq can also be… [Read more]
Whole Exome Sequencing – The Whole Story
Rising Popularity of Whole Exome Sequencing and Whole Genome Sequencing Whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing (and the Bioinformatics to go along with them) seem to be the “It” topics. They were a major focus at many of the large Genomic and Biotechnology shows… [Read more]
