Listeria TDRM Database http://www.lmtdrm.com/ . Please keep your comments and suggestions flowing in  kamesh@pronetinformatix.com The genus  Listeria  consists of a group of gram-positive bacteria of low G+C content closely related to  Bacillus, Clostridium, Enterococcus, Streptococcus,  and  Staphylococcus .  Listeria spp.   are facultative anaerobic rods of 0.4 by 1 to 1.5 µm that do not form spores, have no capsule and are motile at 10 to 25°C.  Listeria spp .  is isolated from a diversity of environmental sources, including soil, water, effluents, a large variety of foods, and the feces of humans and animals. The genus  Listeria  currently includes eight species:  L. monocytogenes ,  L. ivanovii ,  L. seeligeri , L.rocourtiace ,  L. innocua ,  L. welshimeri ,  L. marthii   and  L. grayi . Two of these species  L. monocytogenes  and  L. ivanovii  are potential...

Microbial Genomes Curator @ Computercraft Corporation--Maryland (US).  Submitted by Computercraft Corporation; posted on Saturday, March 17, 2012 RESPONSIBILITIES: Computercraft seeks a microbiologist to work with a team of software developers and biologists on microbial genome analysis including pan-genome, protein clusters, phylogenetic tree and more. This is a technically challenging position requiring experience in genome sequencing and annotation. A background in comparative genome analysis such as alignments and tree building is a plus. Our scientists work with genomic experts at the NIH's National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to create and enhance a suite of databases and tools available to researchers worldwide. Teamwork interaction and excellent organizational skills are essential for this detail-oriented position, as is scientific problem-solving with a results-oriented focus. REQUIREMENTS: * PhD in molecular biology, microbiology, or related field * ...

BIBI automates DNA sequence analysis for bacterial identification in the clinical field. BIBI relies on the use of BLAST and CLUSTAL W programs applied to different subsets of sequences extracted from GenBank. These sequences are filtered and stored in a new database, which is adapted to bacterial identification. For further details refer : http://umr5558-sud-str1.univ-lyon1.fr/ lebibi/lebibi.cgi

(EMBL-EBI seeking to recruit an enthusiastic Scientific Database Curator to join the InterPro team at the The European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) located on the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus near Cambridge in the UK. The post-holder will work as part of a small team maintaining and curating the InterPro database. Their responsibilities will include updating existing InterPro entries, integrating new predictive signatures and adding annotation such as concise, literature-referenced abstracts. Data in InterPro needs to be of a consistently high quality and so potential candidates should have a good attention to detail and a thorough attitude to their work. We believe that understanding our users' needs and providing for them is critically important, and so the curator may be required to attend conferences, workshops or training events in order to meet with users, hear their ideas and expectations, and teach them about InterPro. The EBI, part of the European Molecular ...

Cognizant, a leading provider of consulting, technology, and business process outsourcing services, and Eagle Genomics Ltd., a bioinformatics software company specializing in genomic data management and integration, has announced they are working with the Pistoia Alliance, Inc., a nonprofit, precompetitive alliance of life science companies and vendors, as one of the groups engaged to develop a conceptual cloud-based platform to facilitate access to public and proprietary sources of gene sequence data. The Pistoia Alliance’s sequence services working group aims to define and document an externally hosted service for securely storing and mining both proprietary derived gene/sequence information and public domain gene databases. This conceptual platform developed by Cognizant and Eagle Genomics, as part of this piloting stage, will enable working group companies to securely share their bioinformatics resources among simultaneous, registered users in a secure, encrypted environment, while...

The Workshop Drug discovery is an expensive and time taking process and therefore new approaches based on chemoinformatics and bioinformatics are being adopted.The knowledge of the 3D structures of protein targets is now playing a major role at all stages of drug discovery. The distinct nature of biological and chemical information requires the integrated capabilities of both bioinformatics and chemo-informatics to decipher existing and hidden relationships. Bioinformatics and chemo-informatics have largely evolved independently from biology and chemistry. Cheminformatics is an inter-disciplinary subject of storage, processing and retrieval of chemical information. Bioinformatics and chemoinformatics have significantly assisted in lead optimization, fingerprinting, pharmacophore designing, target identification, QSAR and their application can lead to discovery of new molecules. Molecular modeling using 3D graphics and optimization techniques helps the scientists to understand how drug...
