Summary
The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC 2021) convened online, focusing on open source software and open science in bioinformatics. It highlighted global perspectives on advancing research and inclusivity through open science practices.
Area of Science:
- Bioinformatics
- Computational Biology
- Open Science
Background:
- The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) is a premier annual meeting focused on open source software and open science in bioinformatics.
- BOSC 2021 was held online as a track of the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology / European Conference on Computational Biology (ISMB/ECCB) conference, continuing its tradition since 2000.
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was held online, similar to the 2020 Bioinformatics Community Conference (BCC2020).

Synthetic Biology
5.0K
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.

Genomics
38.0K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Overview of Biostatistics in Health Sciences
2.9K
Biostatistics involves the application of statistical techniques to scientific research in health-related fields, including biology and public health. These techniques are essential for designing studies, collecting data, and analyzing it to draw meaningful conclusions. Given the complexity of biological processes, particularly in studies involving human subjects, biostatistical methods are crucial for effectively organizing and interpreting data that might otherwise obscure underlying patterns...

DNA Microarrays
19.0K
Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

Genome Annotation and Assembly
19.5K
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.
