RBT503: Bioinformatics-I
Unit I
Introduction to Bioinformatics; Biological databases: Nucleotide databases, Protein databases,
Specialized databases; Laboratory data submission and data retrieval; Various file formats for
biomolecular sequences: Genbank, EMBL, Fasta, GCG, msf, nbrf-pir etc.; Basic concepts of
sequence similarity: identity and homology, definitions of homologues, orthologues, paralogues;
Sequence patterns and profiles: Basic concept and definition of sequence patterns, motifs,
domains and profiles; various types of pattern representations viz. consensus, regular expression
(prosite-type) and profiles.
Unit II
Sequence Alignment: Pairwise sequence alignments: Dot matrix for sequence alignment,
Dynamic programming for Local and Global alignment; Multiple sequence alignment:
progressive method and Iterative method; Applications of pairwise and multiple sequence
alignment; Tools for multiple sequence alignment: CLUSTALW and Pileup (Algorithmic
concepts).
Unit III
Scoring Matrics: Basic concept of a scoring matrix, Similarity and distance matrix, Substitution
matrices: Matrices for nucleic acid and proteins sequences, PAM and BLOSUM series,
principles based on which these matrices are derived; Sequence-based database searches: Need
of sequence based database search, BLAST and FASTA algorithms, Various versions of basic
BLAST and FASTA, Advance version of BLAST: PHI-BLAST and profile-based database
searches using PSIBLAST.
Unit IV
Phylogenetics: Phylogeny and concepts in molecular evolution; nature of data used in taxonomy
and phylogeny; definition and description of Phylogenetic trees and various types of trees;
Different methods of Phylogenetic tree construction: UPGMA and Fitch-Margoliash Algorithm;
case studies in phylogenetic sequence analysis.
Unit V
Protein structure prediction: Secondary structure prediction (Statistical method: Chou Fasman
and GOR method, Neural Network and Nearest neighbor method) and Tertiary structures
prediction (Homology Modeling); Structure visualization methods (RASMOL, CHIME etc.);
Protein Structure alignment and analysis. Application of bioinformatics in drug discovery and
drug designing.
