Cancer Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics, Bio - medicine and genetic engineering in the development and FUTURE medical care.

Dr.TVRao, MD



Bioinformatics is an emerging field that brings together the fields of microbiology, molecular biology, bio-technology and genetics in the fold of computers and software advances in computer technology. Thank you to James Watson - Crick in the basic understanding of bacterial DNA (genome). The coding of chromosomes by super-computers, databases and software technology complete code of life, now bioinformatics has become a big business. Research reports from around the world (300 laboratories) recently presented at a major conference genome Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has clearly shown that exciting technology is born. We physicians in the past, the search for life's problems and illness in clinical medicine, laboratory tests and some other technical improvements. Bioinformatics is the development of the concept as a whole, the future may require us to see life and the disease by the chemistry of genes. Facts about the human genome project were published online by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institute of Health, which makes it easier approach to any scientist or doctor to learn science of genomics to detail possible.
1. main conclusions of the Genome Project: a) Living between two individuals is equal to 99.9% as the secret of the difference is only 0.1%, contributing to our individuality. b) There are about 30,000 genes. c) gene mutations are common among men, men are agents of change. d) genetic diseases are so common among men.
2. Computer speaks (Bio Information): With the power of complex information to a computer, he speaks that life is a pack of information with a clear message that the book of life written in the DNA complex, consisting of four letters. ATGC
A = adenine T = thymine G = guanine, C = cytosine.
Currently, we have over 85% of the information on the 23 pairs of human chromosomes. In future science expects that physicians can solve many mysteries of the disease is looking into a computer and the biggest advantage is the detection of most genetic diseases. In the future, many diagnostic tests may be done by computers Bioinformed, flea abnormal location of base pairs in different locations genes. Now, in many countries of eminent scientific organizations are on the way bioinformatics with the aim of making science available for many recent.
3. Bioinformatics and Gene Therapy: Gene therapy has suffered numerous problems in the past have a greater revival with a better understanding of the human genome. Many paths of gene therapy will become virtual reality.
4. Bioinformatics and Proteomics: The knowledge about genes and genomic sciences lead to the science of proteomics to catalog and analyze all the proteins in the human system. The science of proteomics (Structural Genomics) is going to revolutionize the understanding of hormones, immunoglobulins targeting infections and enzymes that break down or build energy reserves. We are aware today that there are too many proteins that guide our life (approximately 50,000 to 2,000,000). But few proteins play real orchestra, changing various actions. Already many companies have begun Bio proteomics program, if events follow the expectations you want, there will be a better quality of life in the service details.
5. Human Genome Project - Drugs of the Future: Currently, we use certain drugs with a broad understanding of targeting only 500 proteins in the body, the 30,000 proteins already known to us. Due to the better understanding of the genome, researchers have a good understanding of what happens if d.
