The Emerging Role of Bioinformatics in Biotechnology

Aug 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2576-6694.jbbs-18-2173
Nida Tabassum KhanCorresponding author

Bioinformatic tools is widely used to manage the enormous genomic and proteomic data involving DNA/protein sequences management, drug designing, homology modelling, motif/domain prediction ,docking, annotation and dynamic simulation etc. Bioinformatics offers a wide range of applications in numerous…

Human Proteome Project and Current Bioinformatics Status in Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

Apr 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2326-0793.jpgr-18-2004
Pervez AnwarCorresponding author

Human proteome project was revolutionized about 40 years ago with purpose of summarizing whole proteomic data at one place. It was launched after human genome project to map and observe all proteins. The goal related proteomic study is to draft the entire human proteome in disease diagnosis by using…

Bioinformatics of Metabolomics in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Oct 2014 DOI 10.14302/issn.2374-9431.jbd-13-212
Hamdy Ahmad SliemCorresponding author

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) is a complex polygenic disorder. DMT2 is a result of insulin resistance and destruction of pancreatic β-cell or dysfunction. Therefore, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, leading to nerve damage, blindness, organ failures and sometimes death. Recently, some recentl…

Call to Action: The Need for Adverse Drug Event (ADE) Standardization and Codification Through Improved ADE Definitions, Documentation and Mapping, as well as More Refined Medication Definitions

May 2025 DOI 10.14302/issn.2641-5526.jmid-25-5466
John McCueCorresponding author

Information on adverse drug event (ADE) assessment and prevention within Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is difficult for clinicians to use and produces wide-ranging results. Challenges include inconsistent ADE and drug product definition and documentation, workflows, terminology standardization, i…

Molecular Confirmation of Staphylococci Strain’s Identification Isolated in the Hospital and University Center of Brazzaville, Republic of Congo

Nov 2022 DOI 10.14302/issn.2690-4721.ijcm-22-4341
Léa Gwladys GangoueCorresponding author

Bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus are pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria responsible for various infections, including skin suppuration, which can be severe or chronic. The objective of this study was to confirm Staphylococci strain’s identification isolated by bacteriological methods from biologi…

Quantification of Micrornas by Absolute Dpcr for the Diagnostic Screening of Colon Cancer

Feb 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2471-7061.jcrc-18-2526
Farid E. AhmedCorresponding author

There is currently no validated micro(mi)RNA diagnostic stool test to screen for colon cancer (CC) on the market because of the complexity of fecal density, vulnerability of stool to daily changes, and the presence of three sources of miRNAs in stool (cell-free from fecal homogenates, exsosomal miRN…

Towards Implementing the Integrated Technology of Precision Agriculture in Sudan

Oct 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2639-3166.jar-18-2331
Abubaker Haroun Mohamed AdamCorresponding author

This study reviews the agricultural development perspective in the light of a rapid space technology development. In other words, precision agriculture as part of geoinformatics. The aim is to quantify whether the adopted technology can improve the efficiency of agricultural fields management and pr…

Bioinformatic Analysis of Coronary Disease Associated SNPs and Genes to Identify Proteins Potentially Involved in the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis

Mar 2017 DOI 10.14302/issn.2326-0793.jpgr-17-1447
Timothy D. HowardCorresponding author

Factors that contribute to the onset of atherosclerosis may be elucidated by bioinformatic techniques applied to multiple sources of genomic and proteomic data. The results of genome wide association studies, such as the CardioGramPlusC4D study, expression data, such as that available from expressio…

Functional, Structural and Contextual Analysis of a Variant of Uncertain Clinical Significance in BRCA1: c.5434C->G (p. Pro1812Ala)

Jan 2017 DOI 10.14302/issn.2572-3030.jcgb-16-1307
Rafael MoralesCorresponding author

Interpreting variants of uncertain significance (VUS) for their effect on protein function, and therefore for the risk of developing cancer, has become a challenge in clinical practice for genetic counselling services. The present work combines structural bioinformatics and systems biology based mat…

MicroRNA-1285 Might Potentially Regulate OCT4 Gene Expression by Direct Targeting of its Promoter

Jan 2016 DOI 10.14302/issn.2574-4372.jesr-15-768
James E. TroskoCorresponding author

The human OCT4 gene encodes a transcription factor that maintains pluripotency and self-renewal in Embryonic Stem (ES) cells. This gene generates several known transcripts by alternative promoter and alternative splicing (OCT4A, OCT4B and OCT4B1). Even though OCT4A is the main isoform responsible fo…

Iolanda GrappasonniCorresponding author

Background: Health practitioners of different disciplines (physicians, paramedic personnel, pharmacists) should possess adequate ICT (Information and Communication Technology) skills and practical competence on these technologies. Pharmacy practice requires a relevant flow of information, collection…

Carbofuran Abrogates the Membrane Ca++-Atpase Activity in Liver: The Role of Cholesterol

Mar 2014 DOI 10.14302/issn.2326-0793.jpgr-13-333
Manik C. GhoshCorresponding author

Carbofuran is a broad spectrum pesticide used in agricultural fields and domestic places throughout the world. It is one of the deadly toxic carbamate pesticide that kills the pest by inhibiting the crucial enzyme of nervous system known as acetyl cholinesterase. In the present study, we report how…
