T-BioInfo is a user-friendly computational platform that enables analysis and integration of big data.The challenge of mining -omics data for meaningful
patters that can be applied in biomedical and agricultural research as sequencing becomes cheaper and more precise. On the other hand, complex
networks of dependencies that define many conditions tend to require integration of huge heterogenous data sets from SNPs, gene expression, epigenetic
markers, proteomic and metabolomic profiles, even structural biology data. Our company has developed innovative and user friendly workflows for analysis
and integration of these different datasets. Now we are looking to test and commercialize a platform that provides web access to the platform.

4. Analysis of Total RNA
Concept: raw total transcriptome reads contain informa4on not only about
expressed splice variants (isoforms) of genes, but also about expressed
transposons and regulatory non-coding RNAs. The complete analysis consists
of three steps. First, the reads are mapped on isoforms in order to get
isoform expression levels. Second, previously unmapped reads are mapped
on known repe44ve elements (RE) and non-coding RNAs in order to get their
expression levels. Third, the rest of reads are processed by special clustering
(BiClustering) in order to get new expressed RE and non-coding RNAs as well
as their expression levels under applied biological condi4ons. On the next
stage, data integra4on can be performed: interplay between expressed
isoforms, transposons, and regulatory RNAs.

5. Epigenetic Analysis: Bisulfite DNA Methylation and CHiP-Seq
Bisulfite Concept: bisulfite sequencing shows T instead of C in a read if C of a genomics site
(like CpG) is methylated. Thus, detec4on of methylated sites and genome fragments
enriched/depleted by methyla4on is based on special type of read mapping, and
segmenta4on of the whole genome methyla4on profile. The analysis objec4ves include
special mapping algorithms with tolerance of the T-to-C mismatch, sta4s4cal es4ma4on of
the per-site methyla4on level, allele specificity of DNA methyla4on, as well as detec4on of
the over-methylated and under-methylated genomic regions.
CHiP-Seq Concept: detec4on of epigene4c signals such as histone modifica4ons of different types and DNA
methyla4on events as well as determining protein/DNA binding sites (TF binding sites) are performed by CHiP-seq
and CHiP-chip experiments. Analysis of profiles of these whole genome signals is performed by the genome
segmenta4on algorithms. The analysis objec4ves include iden4fying signal enriched genome fragments as puta4ve
epigene4c events, and a combina4on of enriched fragments on posi4ve and nega4ve strands with a certain
distance between them as the TF binding event. On the next analysis stage, the data integra4on can be performed:
interplay between genome muta4ons and epigene4c signals on one side and expressed isoforms, transposons, and
regulatory RNAs on the other side. The network of gene regula4on by a transcrip4on factor can be reconstructed
from the whole genome TF binding posi4ons and expressions of the down-stream genes. Microarray datasets are
transformed into pseudo NGS reads and are analyzed by the same CHiP-seq pipelines.

6. Virology Pipeline
Mutation Fitness
Genome-wide fitness calculations enabled by CirSeq,
combined with structural information, can provide
high-definition, bias-free insights into structure-function
relationships, potentially revealing novel functions for
viral proteins and RNA structures, as well as nuanced
insights into a viral genome’s phenotypic space. Such
analyses have the power to reveal protein residues or
domains that directly correspond to viral functional
plasticity and may significantly inform our structural
and mechanistic understanding of host–pathogen
interactions.

8. Integration of Heterogenous Data sets
Concept: mutual associa4on of features of biological datasets is most substan4al part for
integra4on of several analyses of biological projects in one story. We are sugges4ng several
techniques for such associa4ons.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF IMPROVED MOLECULE SCREENING
Computational analysis of small molecules can be roughly divided into three sections: pre-
processing analysis, virtual screening methods, and clustering.The aim of the conformer
generation process is to build a set of representative conformers that covers the conformational
space of a given molecule.There are two main classes of virtual screening methods: similarity-
based methods (descriptor-based screening; geometric querying; shape-based querying;
fingerprints) and receptor-based methods (docking). One of the greatest challenges of docking
software is to consider protein flexibility.These macromolecules are not static objects and
conformational changes are often key elements in ligand binding. T-Bioinfo provides a number of
proprietary methods that can be combined into pipelines for drug discovery.
