Primer-BLAST combines primer design (using Primer3) and a specificity check with BLAST.

After a long hiatus SciView is back with a new interview with Dr Roderic Page from the University of Glasgow. Dr Page is the current Editor in Chief of Syatematic Biology and developer of TreeView(X), the beloved phylogenetic tree visualization software. He was also the editor of the Current Protocols in Bioinformatics.

As usual here is the link.

Enjoy.

The paper described a framework for comparisons across gene expression microarray platforms and laboratories, which including: 1) Affymetrix; 2) Agilent; 3) Applied Biosystems (ABI); 4) Amersham (now GE Healthcare); 5) cDNA arrays provided by the Cepko laboratory (academic cDNA); 6) Compugen (now Sigma-Genosys); 7) Mergen; 8) long oligonuceotide arrays from the Microarray Core facility at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH long oligo); 9) MWG BioTech (now Ocimum Biosolutions); 10) Operon. As a result, the commercial platform ABI has the best performace, where the academic cDNA from Harvard poorest.

Isoenzymes have similar function but different
structures.
             
This means these protiens have similar active sites. We know that some enzymes
even if their polypeptide chain is shortened can perform their function.
So what's the Use of these "unwanted" amino acids?
                             
Please make me Knowledgable in this scientific query.

Greg is a busy lad just now - I'm sure he won't mind my announcing the new Nodalpoint Wiki. Built using the fabulous DokuWiki, we'd like this to complement the main site by providing a place for collaborative articles, site documentation, coding tips and tricks or whatever you like.

You can login with your Nodal username and password - give it a try and let us know what you think.

Update: The wiki is now fully operational. Previously only admins were able to login and edit pages, this has now been fixed (the problem was due to a bug in the authentication code). Check out the Entrez programming utilities hacks and BLAST hacks. Feel free to contribute.

As much a reminder to myself as a spur for the rest of you...

Can it be the end of April already? Where does the time go? More importantly, get thinking about your next submission for "Bioinformatics paper of the month" in 2 days time.

Please reveiw my website

Hi

I've created an RSS newsfeed for my science news webzines (science news RSS). The webzines cover a wide range of scientific topics including chemistry, biology and biomedicine (as well as some bioinformatics and genetics)

Thanks
