Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics
This article covers the core families of AI methods, their concrete use in transcriptomics, proteomics and integrative omics
Understanding Gene Expression Through RNA Sequencing
This article follows the full arc of an RNA-seq project: what the technology is, what it can reveal, how to design a study that will actually answer your question, how to interpret the results, and where the field is heading.
Metagenomics – SciLicium Analysis Pipeline
Bioinformatics pipelines are increasingly used to conduct metagenomics analyses. In many cases, you will need bioinformatics skills, computing resources, and an understanding of existing analytical processes. Guidelines for each pipeline include configuration profiles, reference databases, and recommended analytical steps. In the absence of a formal evaluation, selecting a pipeline and
SciLicium and INSERM Transfert join forces to promote TOXsIgN
SciLicium acquires TOXsIgN SciLicium acquires the TOXsIgN database. This is an important milestone in our partnership with INSERM and Dr Frédéric Chalmel. This initiative marks a major turning point in our commitment to scientific research and technological innovation. What is TOXsIgN? TOXsIgN is a database designed to centralise information on
Introduction to DeSeq2
DeSeq2 is a popular R package for analyzing RNA-seq count data. It can be used to identify differentially expressed genes between two or more experimental groups. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the basic steps of using DeSeq2 to perform a differential expression analysis. Install Before we begin,
Metagenomics analysis in skincare
Metagenomics is a field of study that involves the analysis of the genetic material of a community of microorganisms. This can be done through the use of high-throughput sequencing technologies, which allow researchers to identify and quantify the various species present in a sample. In recent years, metagenomics has become
What You Need to Know About Hiring a Bioinformatics Consultant
…and all the questions you’re afraid to ask As technology advances, we are able to solve problems that were previously unsolvable. One such problem is data analysis in the field of biology. That’s where bioinformatics consulting comes into play. If your company is considering bioinformatics consulting, you may
Transcriptomics in predictive toxicology
One of the challenges in toxicology is to be able to extrapolate the results of the different phases of risk analysis from experimental systems to human populations. Animal models in particular, although widely used, often present differences in terms of substance clearance or enzymatic activity. For these practical reasons, but
Developing and sharing reproducible bioinformatics workflows
There’s a snake in my boot Life-sciences are nowadays conducted in multi-disciplinary and multi-centric studies. In this context, the same software components must be deployed in multiple environments most of the time resulting in reproducibility and scalability issues. Besides, data analysis pipelines are usually composed of multiple components, continuously
