Presentation Transcript

  1. Bioinformaticsand sequence analysis Michael Nilges Unité de Bio-Informatique Structurale Institut Pasteur, Paris Mars 2002

  2. Overview • Bioinformatics: a brief overview • Organising knowledge: databanks and databases • Protein sequence analysis • Sequence alignment • Multiple alignment and sequence pofiles • Phylogenetic trees Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  3. I. Bioinformatics - a brief overview

  4. What is it? Bioinformatics: Deduction of knowledge by computer analysis of biological data. or: see 20000 pages on this issue on the WWW Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  5. The data • information stored in the genetic code (DNA) • protein sequences • 3D structures • experimental results from various sources • patient statistics • scientific literature Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  6. Algorithmic developments • Important part of research in bioinformatics: methods for data storage data retrieval data analysis Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  7. Interdisciplinary research • rapidly developing branch of biology • highly interdisciplinary: using techniques and concepts from informatics, statistics, mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and linguistics. • many practical applications in biology and medicine. Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  8. Computation in biology... • similar to other sciences: computational physics, computational chemistry derivation of physics laws from astronomical data • already in the '20s biologists wanted to derive knowledge by induction • reasons for recent development: development of computers and networks availability of data (sequences, 3D structures) amount of data Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  9. Why? • An avalanche of data: • Sequences • Function related • Structures • requires computational approaches Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  10. Genomics • New way to perform experiments: • accumulation of data: • sequences • structures, • function-related • not hypothesis-driven • Hypothesis formed later and tested in silico Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  11. Bioinformatics key areas • e.g. homology searches organisation of knowledge (sequences, structures, functional data) Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  12. Structural Bioinformatics • Prediction of structure from sequence • secondary structure • homology modelling, threading • ab initio 3D prediction • Analysis of 3D structure • structure comparison/ alignment • prediction of function from structure • molecular mechanics/ molecular dynamics • prediction of molecular interactions, docking • Structure databases (RCSB) Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  13. Structural Bioinformatics Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  14. II. Databases

  15. Organizing knowledgein databanks and databases • Introduction • Sequence databanks and databases • EMBL, SwissProt, TREMBL • SRS: Sequence Retrieval system • 3D structure database: the RCSB - PDB • Domain databases Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  16. Biological databanks and databases • Very fast growth of biological data • Diversity of biological data: • primary sequences • 3D structures • functional data • Database entry usually required for publication • Sequences • Structures • Database entry may replace primary publication • genomic approaches Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  17. DNA sequence data bases • Three databanks exchange data on a daily basis • Data can be submitted and accessed at either location • Genebank • www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/GenbankOverview.html • EMBL • www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/index.html • DNA DataBank of Japan (DDBJ) • www.nig.ac.jp/home.html Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  18. EMBL database growth Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002

  19. Distribution of entries Bioinformatics lecture March 5, 2002
