Will a genetic mutation cause trouble? Ask Spliceman
Public release date: 5-Mar-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: David Orenstein david_orenstein@brown.edu 401-863-1862 Brown University PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] In a brief paper in the journal Bioinformatics, Brown University researchers describe a new, freely available Web-based program called Spliceman for predicting whether genetic mutations are likely to disrupt the splicing of messenger RNA, potentially leading to disease. “Spliceman takes a set of DNA sequences with point mutations and computes how likely these single nucleotide variants alter splicing phenotypes,” write co-authors Kian Huat Lim, a graduate student, and William Fairbrother, assistant professor of biology, in an “application note” published in advance online Feb Continue reading

Open Bio Database Access Specifications, siRNA in the Clinic, and Making Sense of Missing Heritability
Ten years ago, 20 biohackers gathered in a windowless room in Tucson, Ariz., to generate Open Bio Database Access specifications and provide bioinformatics developers with a suite of modules to access sequence data across multiple languages and platforms. At the time, the European Bioinformatics Institute’s Ewan Birney told Genome Technology that the new specifications would benefit system administrators, database operators, and application developers alike. In November, Birney who helped lead both the Ensembl and ENCODE projects and oversees EBI’s nucleotide databases and his colleague Rolf Apweiler were named future associate directors of the institute, and will succeed Graham Cameron upon his retirement in April.

UK Research Councils Publish New Guidance for Bioinformatics Funding Applications
Three UK funding agencies released a statement this week intended to clarify which agency is most appropriate for different types of bioinformatics research applications. The groups the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and the Medical Research Council said that the new guidelines will make the bioinformatics application processing “more efficient” and “help us ensure that the best and most strategically relevant research is funded.” Under the new guidelines, BBSRC will support informatics projects that involve the development and application of computational tools and technologies with applications to biological challenges that fall under the group’s purview. EPSRC, meantime, will support biological informatics project that are driven by computer science and/or mathematics and statistics Continue reading

BGI Develops a Cloud in a Box for Faster Analysis of Genomic Data
To meet the increasing demand of researchers who want to take advantage of cloud computing, BGI in Shenzhen, China, has built its own cloud-computing solution terminal server called the “BGI-BOX.” The new cloud-computing service is intended to provide researchers with a cloud that is easy to operate and comes ready to use with customizable bioinformatics software analysis pipelines. “Since the year of 2009, BGI has been contributing to develop [a] cloud computing platform for processing the enormous amounts of biological data, aiming to provide comprehensive and cloud-based green — more energy efficient — solutions for researchers, and enable more efficient and reliable results for a wide range of bioinformatics analyses,” says Ye Yin, director of the research and cooperation division at BGI. “To better meet the increasing demand for bioinformatics analysis, BGI has developed BGI-BOX cloud computing terminal server for users without [a] bioinformatics background, and it allows users to access bioinformatics analysis and genomic data in their own laboratories with the advantages of [an] easy-to-use, high flexibility, and user-friendly interface.” The BGI-BOX was launched in early December after roughly a year of testing with researchers at several BGI-affiliated centers Continue reading

FDA Evaluating MolecularHealth's MASE for Analyzing Post-Market Drug Safety
By Turna Ray Under a collaboration with personalized medicine-focused bioinformatics company MolecularHealth, the US Food and Drug Administration will evaluate software that will allow the agency to analyze and predict drug safety issues caused by a variety of factors, including pharmacogenomic interactions. After evaluating the Molecular Analysis of Side Effects, or MASE, software the FDA will likely use a version of the system to gauge safety issues with marketed drugs. “The immediate plans are to use [MASE] in the post-market setting,” an agency spokesperson told PGx Reporter.
