Chromosome conformation captureChromosome conformation capture techniques (often abbreviated to 3C technologies or 3C-based methods) are a set of molecular biology methods used to analyze the spatial organization of chromatin in a cell. These methods quantify the number of interactions between genomic loci that are nearby in 3-D space, but may be separated by many nucleotides in the linear genome. Such interactions may result from biological functions, such as promoter-enhancer interactions, or from random polymer looping, where undirected physical motion of chromatin causes loci to collide.
Protein microarrayA protein microarray (or protein chip) is a high-throughput method used to track the interactions and activities of proteins, and to determine their function, and determining function on a large scale. Its main advantage lies in the fact that large numbers of proteins can be tracked in parallel. The chip consists of a support surface such as a glass slide, nitrocellulose membrane, bead, or microtitre plate, to which an array of capture proteins is bound. Probe molecules, typically labeled with a fluorescent dye, are added to the array.
Cartographie génétiquealt=Genetic Difference|vignette|Cartographie génétique du monde selon les légères différences de locus La cartographie génétique est la construction d’une carte soit localisée autour d’un gène, soit à base large portant sur le génome entier. Plus généralement, c’est la détermination de la position d’un locus (gène ou marqueur génétique) sur un chromosome en fonction du taux de recombinaison génétique. Son unité de distance est le centimorgan (cM).
BioconductorBioconductor is a free, open source and open development software project for the analysis and comprehension of genomic data generated by wet lab experiments in molecular biology. Bioconductor is based primarily on the statistical R programming language, but does contain contributions in other programming languages. It has two releases each year that follow the semiannual releases of R. At any one time there is a release version, which corresponds to the released version of R, and a development version, which corresponds to the development version of R.
Amarrage macromoléculaireL'amarrage macromoléculaire (en macromolecular docking) est la modélisation informatique de la structure quaternaire de complexes formés par plusieurs macromolécules biologiques en interaction. Les modélisations les plus courantes étant celles des complexes protéine-protéine et protéine-acide nucléique. L'amarrage vise à prédire la structure tri-dimensionnelle du complexe telle qu'elle est dans l'organisme vivant. La procédure peut produire plusieurs structures candidates qui vont ensuite être classées suivant leur pertinence d'apparaître dans la nature.
Structural variationGenomic structural variation is the variation in structure of an organism's chromosome. It consists of many kinds of variation in the genome of one species, and usually includes microscopic and submicroscopic types, such as deletions, duplications, copy-number variants, insertions, inversions and translocations. Originally, a structure variation affects a sequence length about 1kb to 3Mb, which is larger than SNPs and smaller than chromosome abnormality (though the definitions have some overlap).
Protein function predictionProtein function prediction methods are techniques that bioinformatics researchers use to assign biological or biochemical roles to proteins. These proteins are usually ones that are poorly studied or predicted based on genomic sequence data. These predictions are often driven by data-intensive computational procedures. Information may come from nucleic acid sequence homology, gene expression profiles, protein domain structures, text mining of publications, phylogenetic profiles, phenotypic profiles, and protein-protein interaction.
InterProInterPro est une base de données intégrées de « signatures » de domaines et de signaux protéiques utilisée pour la classification et l'annotation automatique de protéines. Interpro permet la classification des protéines en fonction de la présence de domaines fonctionnels, répétitions, et signaux grâce à une recherche automatisée dans plusieurs bases de données (CATH-Gene3D, HAMAP, PANTHER, Pfam, PIRSF, PRINTS, ProDom, PROSITE, SMART, SUPERFAMILY, TIGRFAMs).

BioRubyBioRuby is a collection of open-source Ruby code, comprising classes for computational molecular biology and bioinformatics. It contains classes for DNA and protein sequence analysis, sequence alignment, biological database parsing, structural biology and other bioinformatics tasks. BioRuby is released under the GNU GPL version 2 or Ruby licence and is one of a number of Bio* projects, designed to reduce code duplication. In 2011, the BioRuby project introduced the Biogem software plugin system, with two or three new plugins added every month.
BioPerlBioPerl is a collection of Perl modules that facilitate the development of Perl scripts for bioinformatics applications. It has played an integral role in the Human Genome Project. BioPerl is an active open source software project supported by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation. The first set of Perl codes of BioPerl was created by Tim Hubbard and Jong Bhak at MRC Centre Cambridge, where the first genome sequencing was carried out by Fred Sanger.
