This article describes how the last decade has been characterized by the production of huge amounts of different types of biological data. Following that, a flood of bioinformatics tools have been published. However, many of these tools are commercial, or require computational skills. In addition, not all tools provide intuitive and highly accessible visualization of the results. The authors have developed GEView (Gene Expression View), which is a free, user-friendly tool harboring several existing algorithms and statistical methods for the analysis of high-throughput gene, microRNA or protein expression data. It can be used to perform basic analysis such as quality control, outlier detection, batch correction and differential expression analysis, through a single intuitive graphical user interface. GEView is unique in its simplicity and highly accessible visualization it provides. Together with its basic and intuitive functionality it allows Bio-Medical scientists with no computational skills to independently analyze and visualize high-throughput data produced in their own labs.

Background: The gene regulation represents a very complex mechanism produced in the cell in order to increase or decrease the gene expression. This regulation of genes forms a Gene regulatory Network GRN composed of a collection of genes and products of genes in interaction. The high throughput technologies that generate a huge volume of gene expression data are useful for analyzing the GRN. The biologists are interested in the relevant genetic knowledge hidden in these data sources. Although, the knowledge extracted by the different data mining approaches of the literature are insufficient for inferring the GRN topology or do not give a good representation of the real genetic regulation in the cell. Objective: In this work, we are interested in the extraction of genetic interactions from the high throughput technologies, such as the microarrays or DNA chips. Methods: In this paper, in order to extract expressive and explicit knowledge about the interactions between genes, we use the method of gradual patterns and rules extraction applied on numerical data that extracts the frequent co-variations between gene expression values. Furthermore, we choose to integrate experimental biological data and biological knowledge in the process of knowledge extraction of genetic interactions. Results: The validation results on real gene expression data of the model plant Arabidopsis and human lung cancer shows the performance of this approach. Conclusion: The extracted gradual rules express the genetic interactions composed a GRN, these rules help to understand complex systems and cellular functions.

Genomic profiles of cancer patients such as gene expression have become a major source to predict responses to drugs in the era of personalized medicine. As large-scale drug screening data with cancer cell lines are available, a number of computational methods have been developed for drug response prediction. However, few methods incorporate both gene expression data and the biological network, which can harbor essential information about the underlying process of the drug response. We proposed an analysis framework called DrugGCN for prediction of Drug response using a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). DrugGCN first generates a gene graph by combining a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network and gene expression data with feature selection of drug-related genes, and the GCN model detects the local features such as subnetworks of genes that contribute to the drug response by localized filtering. We demonstrated the effectiveness of DrugGCN using biological data showing its high prediction accuracy among the competing methods.

The recent development of high-throughput technologies based on RNA sequencing has allowed a better description of the role of post-transcriptional regulation in gene expression. In particular, the development of degradome approaches based on the capture of 5′monophosphate decay intermediates allows the discovery of a new decay pathway called co-translational mRNA decay. Thanks to these approaches, ribosome dynamics could now be revealed by analysis of 5′P reads accumulation. However, library preparation could be difficult to set-up for non-specialists. Here, we present a fast and efficient 5′P degradome library preparation for Arabidopsis samples. Our protocol was designed without commercial kit and gel purification and can be easily done in one working day. We demonstrated the robustness and the reproducibility of our protocol. Finally, we present the bioinformatic reads-outs necessary to assess library quality control.

AbstractBackground:Advances in high-throughput molecular biology, genomics and epigenetics, coupled with exponential increases in computing power and data storage, have led to a new era in biological research and information. Bioinformatics, the discipline devoted to storing, analysing and interpreting large volumes of biological data, has become a crucial component of modern biomedical research. Research in otolaryngology has evolved along with these advances.Objectives:This review highlights several modern high-throughput research methods, and focuses on the bioinformatics principles necessary to carry out such studies. Several examples from recent literature pertinent to otolaryngology are provided. The review is divided into two parts; this first part discusses the bioinformatics approaches applied in nucleotide sequencing and gene expression analysis.Conclusion:This paper demonstrates how high-throughput nucleotide sequencing and transcriptomics are changing biology and medicine, and describes how these changes are affecting otorhinolaryngology. Sound bioinformatics approaches are required to obtain useful information from the vast new sources of data.

Researchers use transcriptomics analyses for biological data mining, interpretation, and presentation. Galaxy-based tools are utilized to analyze various complex disease transcriptomic data to understand the pathogenesis of the disease, which are user-friendly. This work provides simple methods for differential expression analysis and analysis of these results in gene ontology and pathway enrichment tools like David, WebGestalt. This method is very effective in better analysis and understanding the transcriptomic data. Transcriptomics analysis has been made on rheumatoid arthritis sra data. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease. T cells and autoantibodies mediate the pathogenesis. This article discusses the genes which are differentially expressed between the healthy (n=50) and diseased (n=51) and the functions of those genes in the pathogenesis of RA.

Summary The paradigmatic shift occurred in biology that led first to high-throughput experimental techniques and later to computational systems biology must be applied also to the analysis paradigm of the relation between local models and data to obtain an effective prediction tool. In this work we introduce a unifying notational framework for systems biology models and high-throughput data in order to allow new integrations on the systemic scale like the use of in silico predictions to support the mining of gene expression datasets. Using the framework, we propose two applications concerning the use of system level models to support the differential analysis of microarray expression data. We tested the potentialities of the approach with a specific microarray experiment on the phosphate system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a computational model of the PHO pathway that supports the systems biology concepts.
