Alexey Kondrashov

He founded the laboratory of evolutionary genomics in the College of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Angel Ortiz

Ángel Ramírez Ortiz (30 June 1966 – 5 May 2008) was a Spanish scientist in the area of protein structure & bioinformatics.

BioSLAX

Their aim was to effectively create a "BioSLAX CLOUD" where students and staff may instantiate any number BioSLAX servers dynamically for research and education (conduct bioinformatics practical labs by having students connect to the servers via suitable X Window clients such as X-Win32, VNC, Exceed and NoMachine NX) or deployed in such a manner which when used in conjunction with the UD Grid mpagent may be used to form a cluster for processing large jobs.

Cell Signaling Technology

CST maintains a curated, web-based bioinformatics resource known as PhosphoSitePlus, which details protein phosphorylation in human, mouse and rat.

Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics

CDFD is Sun Microsystems Center of Excellence in Medical Bio-informatics, supported with a strong bioinformatics facility, and is the India node of the EMBnet.

Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis

The project aims to accelerate genomic research by amassing a large repository of metagenomic data generated by independent members of the research community at large, by developing a custom bioinformatics toolset optimized for cluster computing, and by offering the high-performance computing infrastructure on which to run it.

Complex and adaptive systems laboratory

Groups in this cluster develop and apply methods to a broad range of problem domains including Finance, Computer Science, Design, Architecture, Music, Sound Synthesis, Bioinformatics, Engineering and Telecommunications.

David Sankoff

" Michael Waterman and David Sankoff are responsible for transforming bioinformatics from a ‘stamp collection' of ill-defined problems into a rigorous discipline with important biological applications."

ECCB

European Conference on Computational Biology, a scientific conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

Exon trapping

The technique has largely been supplanted by the approach of sequencing cDNA generated from mRNA and then using bioinformatics tools such as NCBI's BLAST server to determine the source of the sequence, thereby identifying the appropriate exon-intron splice sites.

FlyBase

FlyBase is an online bioinformatics database and the primary repository of genetic and molecular data for the insect family Drosophilidae.

Genomic Medicine Institute

The Bioinformatics Core of the Lerner Research Institute is hosted at the Genomic Medicine Institute, and provides essential analysis for the integration of complex biological and clinical data to researchers across Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic (and beyond) either as fee-for-service or as collaborative efforts through grant support.

Genomic Standards Consortium

Established in September 2005, this international community includes representatives from a range of major sequencing and bioinformatics centres (including NCBI, EMBL, DDBJ, JCVI, JGI, EBI, Sanger, FIG) and research institutions.

InforMax Inc

was an American bioinformatics company founded in 1990 by Alex Titomirov with the group of prominent Russian and American scientists and businessmen.

The Netherlands Bioinformatics for Proteomics Platform (for short NBPP) is joint initiative of the Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre (NBIC) and the Netherlands Proteomics Centre (NPC).

Obestatin

Research carried out at the Stanford University School of Medicine in 2005 identified obestatin as a new hormone with a bioinformatics approach by computer search of the sequenced genomes of several organisms.

Pairwise Algorithm

One of the earliest applications of PairWise to problems in bioinformatics was by Ewan Birney.

Philip Palmer Green

He earned his doctorate from Berkeley in mathematics in 1976 with a dissertation on C*-algebra, but, like his colleague Eric Lander, transitioned from pure mathematics into applied work in biology and bioinformatics.

Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid

Annals of the Botanical Garden of Madrid: This is the magazine published by the Botanical Garden, which publishes papers on plant taxonomy and systematics and fungi and related fields such as biogeography, bioinformatics, conservation, ecophysiology, phylogeny, phylogeography, floral, functional morphology, nomenclature or plant relationships -animal, including works of synthesis and review.
