Bioinformatics: A challenging career & offered courses

After 10+2 exams, the biggest question is what to do next? If you are a science lover and want to do something different in this field, then you can opt for Bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is a subject combination of Statistics and Computer sciences, applying on molecular biology. It was introduced in 1980s’. As we know DNA sequencing has been the biggest project of recent years in Bio-sciences. Bioinformatics, a field which mingle the biosciences and software technologies together, brought a huge change in genomics world. DNA analysis, mapping and alignment are the keywords through which it could be possible to sequence the entire genome of many organisms. Bioinformatics has been the greatest motivation in the advancement of drug development and research.
Bioinformatics is a branch of computing which is concerned with the acquisition, storage and analysis of biological data. So many tools are needed to design the products faster with accuracy. IT tools have become important for managing and screening these data. In this career one can explore research capabilities and applicability of biological applications. This is a field which gives you independence. Where you can do research and work online.

Future of bioinformatics:

In India, as the IT industry is raising, there are many opportunities of jobs in this career. Our Drugs and Research companies are hunting for experts in this area. A graduate with good skills in computer science and software engineering along some biological aspects can be a good Bioinformatician.


Bioinformatics is a growing industry, nationally and internationally, that’s why many IT and medical research companies are investing their money in this field with a number of jobs growing further. IPOs and KPOs are showing its market acceptance. This industry is very hot, very dynamic, and very exciting, expecting thousands of jobs in coming years. The job options for the experts of this area covers IT industry, Pharmaceuticals, Research & Development etc.
It has grown as a multidisciplinary area; from cellular biology to biotechnology and cloning, it has covered all the branches of life-sciences. It is becoming more computationally intense as presenting all of the genomes in electronic databases. It is spreading its web, influencing many industries and welcomes the newcomers of Science and Software fields to explore the fun and infinity of genomic world.


Universities providing courses in Bioinformatics:

Nowadays many universities in India are providing diploma, graduate and post-graduate courses in Bioinformatics. These are on regular basis as well as through correspondence. In correspondence courses the most attractive point is your freedom, as they provide better time utilization. One can improve his/her skills and capabilities along their work experience.

Nursery and Kindergarten Admissions in Delhi/NCR Schools: What’s the age?

It is the most intricate issue of the current time in India. What should be the exact age of kids at the time of nursery admissions ? Lot of different perspectives and ideas are there, but in my opinion, the ideal age for kindergarten should be 5-6 years. I think we first let them enjoy their childhood, let them develop in all directions. Give them some more years or going play group is sufficient. But the opinions vary here, and everyone has her view on this matter. Some parents don’t want to send them at an early age, but they have no choice. These days mostly schools are taking 3+ kids for nursery and 4+ kids for KG . There are also some schools that prefer to take 4+ kids for nursery or they start from KG classes. The education system is growing more complicated as they don’t focus on the abilities of child and parents. Strict criteria and some guidelines are put, and that’s all. The most painful thing is the distances between schools and homes, how our little buds ca

Generation of Random amino acid protein sequences using Python/Bio-python

This program is about how to generate protein sequences (random sequences of 100amino acid) and these sequences should be stored in a database type file. The sequence analysis gave the bioscience researches a new direction. This project works for generating new sequences of proteins. These sequences might already exist in nature and having similarity with any organism. Through this software new random sequences may be generated and saved to a file on user’s machine. Saving to file helps to compare different sequences as well as the complete information may be placed at the same place. The Protein generation part is a simple program which takes in user input for number of random Protein Sequences to generate and filename/file-path. Based on these user inputs random Protein sequences are generate of 100 amino acid residues of type IUPACProtein. The sequences thus generated are saved to a file in the current directory by the name username.fasta in Fasta format. This program is in Python L

Green tea benefits

Green tea is a form of the leaves from the same tea plant, Camellia sinensis . It is less oxidised than black tea, but more than  white . The Green tea benefits have been proved remarkably promising in cancer and heart diseases. Presence of strong antioxidants makes it unique, theses anti-oxidants forage free radicals of our cells to wipe them out. Green tea benefits include the presence of  healthy  polyphenols and the most prominent poly-phenol is epigallocatechin gallate. Some main benefits of green tea are noticed in the case of Rheumatoid arthritis, High cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease and in the improvement of the immune system. For weight loss and fat  burn  green tea is the best source of fitness.  Must add this nature's gift to your routine.
