Bioinformatics data mining in the era of high-throughput biology
When: Thursday, November 15th, 2012, Reception @ 12:00 m
Where: Montgomery 441 (MO441)
With the advance of all kinds of omics technologies, the modern biology has been in transition from studying one gene at a time to profiling all genes of a genome or metagenomes simultaneously. The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of sequenced genomes and metagenomes. We expect that bioinformatics data mining will play a leading role in extracting useful information from the genomic data and further transferring to novel biological knowledge. I am going to introduce some useful genomic/metagenomic data resources for bioenergy research and will also talk about our on-going efforts in bioinformatics data mining of plant genomes and microbial metagenomes to look for enzymes involved in bioenergy production.
Dr. Yanbin Yin is an assistant professor of Bioinformatics in BIOS of NIU since August 2012. He received Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from Peking University, China, and postdoc training in SUNY-buffalo (CS dept) and University of Georgia (Biology dept). His research has been focusing on comparative and evolutionary genomics of plants and microbes, especially using open bioinformatics tools to study bioenergy-related enzyme families.Return to Brown Bag
