Bioinformatics: The Future at Port 80: Charthouse

A raised eyebrow, quizzical look or a nod of the head are just a few of the facial expressions computers could soon be using to read people's minds.

An "emotionally aware" computer being developed by British and American scientists will be able to read an individual's thoughts by analyzing a combination of facial movements that represent underlying feelings.

bioinformatics

LabBook -- for the life science researcher to access, data mine, integrate, store, and visualize biomedical information

a bioinformatics facility which puts Calgary scientists two years ahead of the pack in research capabilities. ... The centre will benefit students, industry collaborators and scientists studying a broad range of diseases from cancer to lupus.

Launched in early 2001 at the request of the life science community. I3C’s mission is to coordinate disparate efforts around the world and to drive data and tool interoperability across the value chain (from academic research to target identification through validation, lead development and clinical) towards the goal of accelerating basic research, drug discovery, and development. This is to be accomplished through the establishment of common data exchange protocols that enable a wide range of software tools and packages to work together more effectively.

Human Genome Project

Narrated 3D-computer animation illustrates the basics of molecular biology. The animation progresses from cells to the nucleus, chromosome to DNA, depicting the process of converting genetics instructions into active proteins.

Putting the genome to work raises questions and dilemmas for us as individuals, families, nations and even as a species. We need to make decisions about our health, our food, our stewardship of the natural world and our responsibilities to the next generation. The genomic revolution is here—are you ready?

the companion Web site to the PBS program broadcast on April 17, 2001. This two-hour special, hosted by ABC "Nightline" correspondent Robert Krulwich, chronicles the race to capture one of the biggest prizes in scientific history: the complete letter-by-letter sequence of genetic information that defines human life -- the human genome.

don't miss --> Explore a Stretch of Code (Hot Science)
When scientists look at the four letters that make up our DNA they can read stories in the code -- of ancient DNA, of snippets of code that has jumped around the genome, and much more. Explore an actual piece of human DNA, and see what the experts see.

On June 26, 2000, scientists announced they had completed a rough draft of the complete human genome. In just a few short years we will have moved from knowing almost nothing about our genes to knowing everything. I genuinely believe that we are living through the greatest intellectual moment in history. Bar none. ...

A book is a piece of digital information, written in linear, one-dimensional and one-directional form and defined by a code that transliterates a small alphabet of signs into a large lexicon of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome.

biotechnology

Bio 2001 starts this weekend in San Diego, California, where several cities hope to pronounce themselves the world's biotech capital, and where protestors will try to prevent any such thing from happening.
