RNA sequence alignment
category: general [glöplog]
I wonder if anybody here has ever been into RNA sequence alignment, or bioinformatics in general?
I'm currently attending a symposium in Vienna which deals with this topic (among other things); it's interesting, but I'm still a newbie to that area. My studies so far have had other emphases.

One time I was looking at a Huble picture of a gravitation distortion and one guy came behind and asked if I belived in that. I still don't know what he was talking about. I belive that stars exist. I belive that Hubble exists. I belive that photographs exist.
Anyway, I've read about RNA once or twice. But nothing too technical. It's not my thing.
What are the current researches in the area, anyway?

I read a little about DNA, and how it translates into different types of RNA, which in turn builds proteins. But not in depth. And I've read a little about Einstein's relativity theory, and I find it whatmost clear and logical.

or use google and write down: "define: word" without the "
"define : word" give you loads of definitions of the word hence give you urls of websites who talk about what you're looking about.
Reading several definitions of the same thing helps to remind about this thing.
your can also try to search google images and this way when you find a picture which is exactly about what you think you get into the good web site too.

Adok - I'm currently involved in bioinformatics and alignment matters for my university.
What are you interested in in particular?

makc: As I'm new to this subject, I'd be interested in a good tutorial. What I've found so far is: http://www.usm.maine.edu/~rhodes/Goodies/Matics.html What's your opinion on that? What else would you recommend that I should check out?
I'd go with paragraph alignment at minimum, but I don't think you can go much wrong with even page-level stuff since these sequences tend to be rather long so you could consider that as well just to be on the safe side.
Adok:
Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary field. Genetists, Computer Scientists, (Bio)Chemists, Physicists all have a role and a different approach, as they have often different goals.
If you want to take a look at what has been found in the DNA using some of your background as a physician that tutorial will give you a cluttered overview, but it will do.
As the field is very large and evolving day-to-day, I suggest you to find some specific subject to concentrate on at first. You will then learn the tools needed, how to use them and most important how to interpret the output.
Also, get an idea of how FASTA (global alignment) and BLAST (local alignment) work and how to interpret their outputs. They're pretty ubiquitous.
As the argument in not very demosceneish (ok, someone is trying to do some of this work with shaders, but i only have ps1.3 ... as i can't do it, it sux). i wouldn't pollute pouet more. This is the place of teh Basselhoff.
But feel free to contact me in private!

let me paraphraze that with an illustration
makc, don't worry this much about being on-topic. the pouet bbs can tolerate such a pollution ;)
is the RNA sequence alignment scene crowded with megastars and fangirls ?
No but every now and then there are fan pigs who want to donate DNA.
makc: Thank you for your offer! Would you please give me your email address, since I can find it? Or simply write to me - cdvolko@gmx.net
