Synthetic Biology

5.8K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.9K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

21.7K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

101.2K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)
  • Ontology Engineering

Background:

  • A growing number of biomedical resources exist, but finding relevant tools for specific tasks is challenging, especially for non-IT experts.
  • Progress in clinical Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications has historically lagged behind general NLP advancements.
  • Current specialized repositories often lack efficient search functionalities for complex clinical or biomedical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the use of semantic annotation with domain-specific ontologies for biomedical resources.
  • To leverage Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods to empower non-IT expert users in efficiently searching biomedical resources using natural language.
  • To develop a framework that bridges the gap between natural language clinical questions and efficient biomedical resource discovery.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented an NLP engine to translate free-text clinical questions into ontology-based query descriptions.
  • Utilized information extraction techniques guided by integrated ontologies for text processing.
  • Incorporated text mining methods to map descriptions to domain ontologies, enhancing resource relevance and discovery accuracy.

Main Results:

  • The developed framework demonstrated high precision and low recall in identifying relevant biomedical tools for clinical questions.
  • Manual expert evaluation confirmed the system's ability to return more relevant results than irrelevant ones.
  • The framework was evaluated against automated discovery methods, showing improved accuracy in candidate tool identification.

Conclusions:

  • Sufficient biomedical ontologies, NLP tools, and annotation systems exist to build effective resource discovery frameworks.
  • The proposed framework, based on semantic annotation and NLP, is clinically useful for bridging natural language queries and resource discovery.
  • The study validates the potential of semantic approaches and NLP in enhancing the accessibility and utility of biomedical resources.
