BioInformatics Group Seville
"Bioinformatics is an analytical and experimental molecular biology using computational methods. Molecular biologists use computational tools such as computer databases with accompanying algorithms, and specialized simulation software to analyse large quantities of raw genetic information, and to model and analyze biological and genetic processes in-silica. Common applications include protein sequencing and DNA sequencing. Bioinformatics was a key discipline in the sequencing of the human genome." ISCID Encyclopedia of Science and Philosophy. In post-genomic era, genomes have already been sequenced. Genomic investigation has changed from data generation to discovering scientific knowledge. The discovery of knowledge in data bases implies the application of statistical, mathematical and data mining methods to extract useful information, and it's main objectives range from the study of the functionality of specific genes and their participation in biological process to the reconstruction of diseases's conditions and their subsequent prognosis. In Microarray experiments, the mRNA expression level of several thousand of genes are measured systematically. We are interesting in proposing new techniques for the interpretation of high-throughput gene expression data. These new approaches are based on data mining techniques. The Bioinformatics group of Seville (Spain) was created about the middle of the year 2004 as a part of the Machine Learning Group of the University of Seville.
