The document discusses hosting a GIT repository on GitHub and accepting an invitation to a shared repository called "Bioinformatics-I-2015" hosted on GitHub.ugent.be. It also lists some example control structures for Python scripts like if/else statements and for loops and poses extra bioinformatics analysis questions that could be answered using Python scripts.
To make this comparison we need to first consider the problem that both approaches help us to solve. When programming any system you are essentially dealing with data and the code that changes that data. These two fundamental aspects of programming are handled quite differently in procedural systems compared with object oriented systems, and these differences require different strategies in how we think about writing code.

InterPro is an open-source protein resource used for the automatic annotation of proteins, and is scalable to the analysis of entire new genomes through the use of a downloadable version of InterProScan, which can be incorporated into an existing local pipeline. InterPro integrates protein signatures from 11 major signature databases (CATH-Gene3D, HAMAP, PANTHER, Pfam, PIRSF, PRINTS, ProDom, PROSITE, SMART, SUPERFAMILY, and TIGRFAMs) into a single resource, taking advantage of the different areas of specialization of each to produce a resource that provides protein classification on multiple levels: protein families, structural superfamilies and functionally close subfamilies, as well as functional domains, repeats and important sites. The InterPro website has been improved, following extensive community consultation and a new version of InterProScan promises improved speed, ease of implementation as well as additional functionalities.
Lecture delivered by T. Ashok Kumar, Head, Department of Bioinformatics, Noorul Islam College of Arts and Science, Kumaracoil, Thuckalay, INDIA. UGC Sponsored National Workshop on BIOINFORMATICS AND GENOME ANALYSIS for College Teachers on August 11 & 12, 2014. Organized by Centre for Bioinformatics, Department of Zoology, NMCC.
Protein Sequence, Structure, and Functional Databases: UniProtKB, Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL, PIR, MIPS, PROSITE, PRINTS, BLOCKS, Pfam, NDRB, OWL, PDB, SCOP, CATH, NDB, PQS, SYSTERS, and Motif.

The patent literature has historically been complex and inaccessible to searches required for effective IP management and maintenance of a competitive position, particularly when it comes to chemical structure information. The availability of raw patent text feeds in a structured form have allowed the application of text-to-structure and image-to-structure conversion techniques. The problem then became one of applying this solution across massive data sets in an accurate and scalable manner to deliver a turnkey patent informatics system with automatically extracted, and searchable chemical structures. SureChem, an advanced cloud application, uses a tournament of methods to achieve higher coverage and accuracy than any single approach. This product was launched and licensed by a user community with a freemium business model. Latterly, user feedback and market shifts indicated a need to link biological data into patents too (sequences, genes, targets, diseases, etc). This created an opportunity to transition SureChem to EMBL-EBI, a public organisation with the remit of data dissemination and sharing, and deep experience of biodata, including the large ChEMBL database of Structure Activity Relationship Data. In 2014 SureChem became SureChEMBL. The presentation will review the development of SureChem, discuss the marketplace for patent informatics, and look ahead to future development plans for SureChEMBL.

The Longevity Genie is an open-source toolbox and a chatbot that aims to enhance the capacity of large language models (LLMs) to address inquiries on personal health, genetics, and longevity research.
The EPA CompTox Chemistry Dashboard provides access to data associated with ~760,000 chemical substances. The available data includes experimental and predicted physicochemical properties, environmental fate and transport data, in vivo and in silico toxicity data, in vitro bioassay data, exposure data and a variety of other types of information. The data are under continuous expansion and curation and the experimental data have been used to develop QSAR and QSPR models. A number of these models are available via a web interface so that users can submit a chemical structure and predict properties in real time. The dashboard also provides access to pre-compiled chemical lists and categories, including pesticides, and chemicals detected in the environment via non-targeted mass spectrometry analysis. The data are searchable using chemical identifiers (systematic names, trade names, CAS Registry Numbers), by structure, mass and formula. Batch searches allow for data associated with thousands of chemicals to be obtained in a few seconds, with just a few button clicks, and downloaded to the desktop. This presentation will provide an overview of the Dashboard and its applications to accessing source data associated with agriculturally related chemicals.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

• Evolution conserves amino acids that are important to protein
structure and function across species. Sequence comparison of
multiple “homologs” of a particular protein reveals highly
conserved regions that are important for function.
• Clusters of conserved residues are called “motifs” -- motifs
carry out a particular function or form a particular structure
that is important for the conserved protein.

7. The hydropathy index of an amino acid is a number
representing the hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties of its
side-chain.
It was proposed by Jack Kyte and Russell Doolittle in 1982.
The larger the number is, the more hydrophobic the amino
acid. The most hydrophobic amino acids are isoleucine (4.5)
and valine (4.2). The most hydrophilic ones are arginine (-4.5)
and lysine (-3.9).
This is very important in protein structure; hydrophobic
amino acids tend to be internal in the protein 3D structure,
while hydrophilic amino acids are more commonly found
towards the protein surface.
