  1. ComputationalBiology and Approaches Raquell M. Holmes, Ph.D. Computational Biology Workshop Howard University and Boston University August 15, 2005

  2. This morning Computational Biology • Snapshots of existing models • Transition in biological views Computing and computational science

  3. Computational Biology • Bioinformatics, Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolome • Sequences analysis and comparison • Database searches • Statistics, Graph theory, Strings, Markov Models • High throughput data generation • Protein structure, folding, energy • Molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo

  4. Computational Biology: Dynamics Jacquet et al 2003, JCB

  5. What exists…

  6. Actin polymers: models http://www.cytochemistry.net/Cell-biology/actin_filaments.htm

  7. Ways of studying properties • Microscope: • Watch growth and shrinkage • Use fluorescent probes for growth, shrinkage, orientation • Rates of monomer addition Myosin, actin, ATP In_vitro_motility_assay

  8. Gallery Heart muscle fibers http://www.psc.edu/research/graphics/gallery/heart.html Daniel Mocanu, Joachim Kettenbach, Michael O. Sweeney, Bruce H. KenKnight, Ron Kikinis and Solomon R. Eisenberg –Boston University

  9. Neuromuscular junction … All images were produced by Joel Stiles using DReAMM (www.mcell.psc.edu/DReAMM) software. Citation:  Stiles, JR, Ford, WC, Pattillo, JM, Deerinck, TE, Ellisman, MH, Bartol, TM, and Sejnowski, TJ.

  10. Posterior patterns determination

  11. Network for Wing Formation

  12. Conceptual models are changing

  13. Classical View of MAPK Pathways adapted from C.Roberts, et al., Science, 287, 873 (2000)

  14. The Protein Network View • Highly interconnected, not just a linear pathway! • Some proteins are missing from the protein interaction data sets (Cdc42, Ste20). • Includes several additional proteins (especially Akr1, Kss1). adapted from C.Roberts, et al., Science, 287, 873 (2000)

  15. Expression data • KEGG: • retrievable expression data sets • EcoCyc: • input expression data to view in relation to metabolic data. • Expression data is one way of viewing the behavior of a system.

  16. Submitted by: Hirotada MORI Organism: E.coli Raw data

  17. MicroArray Data: fold changes in expression Hypothetical data • Changes in gene expression: • Single time point,Various conditions • Multiple time points, One condition • GenMapp tools highlight changes

  18. Views from the Center for Cell Dynamics • Experimentalist use of confocal microscope • Static 3D image: microtubules and cytokinesis (Garry Odell) • Live label: GFP-EB1 in S. droebachiensis. (Mike Danilchik & George von Dassow) • Model Animation • Aster microtubules (George von Dassow)
