Consequently, the biomedical research enterprise is increasingly becoming dataintensive and data-driven. However, the ability of researchers to locate, analyze, and use Big Data (and more generally all biomedical and behavioral data) is often limited for reasons related to access to relevant software and tools, expertise, and other factors. D2K aims to develop the new approaches, standards, methods, tools, software, and competencies that will enhance the use of biomedical Big Data by supporting research, implementation, and training in data science and other Importance of Bioinformatics Deep sequencing data analysis DATABASES AND DATA RETRIEVAL Biosequences and Gene-related info WORKING WITH BIOSEQUENCES Alignments and similarity search NAVIGATING GENOMES By Genome Browsers gene details official sequence Annotation Tracks comparisons SNPs EXAMPLES FROM MORE ADVANCED BIOINFORMATICS Gene expression and RNA-seq data analysis Opportunities and Challenges OPPORTUNITIES: • estimate the odds of your future children being born with something like Down syndrome • secure paternity test • customized cancer-fighting drugs • personalized medicine Opportunities and Challenges OPPORTUNITIES: • estimate the odds of your future children being born with a genetic disease • secure paternity test • customized cancer-fighting drugs • personalized medicine CHALLENGES: • do you have something more “private” than your DNA? • consumers fear losing insurance coverage if results are shared, companies don’t want to reveal proprietary information about customized treatments “When your bank account or credit card is compromised, the situation is painful but recoverable. You can close the account, wipe the slate clean and start over. You cannot change or revoke your DNA once it’s leaked,” says Gene Tsudik – UCI – GenoDroid project. BioMol- Informatica e Bioinformatica Modulo di Informatica Il modulo di Informatica si suddivide in lezioni di teoria (16 ore) e lezioni pratiche in lab. (16 ore). Il modulo si propone di fornire un’introduzione* su: - architettura degli elaboratori; - circuiti logici; - rappresentazione dell'informazione; - sistemi operativi; - reti di calcolatori; - Data Base, sicurezza --- cenni - programmazione (python). Roberto Di Pietro *il programma di dettaglio verrà discusso durante la prima lezione e messo on-line.
