Abstract:
<p>Background: Modelling and simulation are important tools for understanding biological systems. Numerous modelling and simulation software tools have been developed for integrating knowledge regarding the behaviour of a dynamic biological system described in mathematical form. The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) was created as a standard format for exchanging biochemical network models among tools. However, it is not certain yet whether actual usage and exchange of SBML models among the tools of different purpose and interfaces is assessable. Particularly, it is not clear whether dyna

Abstract:
Bioinformatics has acquired a lot of importance especially with the advent of genomic approaches. The large amount of data produced by ``omics'' experiments requires appropriate frameworks to handle, store and mine the information and to derive appropriate work hypotheses. Transcriptome is defined as the whole amount of RNA molecules produced by a cell that provides the bridge between the genome and proteins. RNA molecules can be divided in two major classes: protein coding RNAs or messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). While the first class has been the most studied in the last

Abstract:
The carbon-carbon bond forming ability of transketolase (TK), along with its broad substrate specificity, makes it very attractive as a biocatalyst in industrial organic synthesis. Through the production of saturation mutagenesis libraries focused on individual active site residues, several variants of TK have been discovered with enhanced activities on non-natural substrates. We have used computational and bioinformatics tools to increase our understanding of TK and to guide engineering of the enzyme for further improvements in activity. Computational automated docking is a powerful technique

Abstract:
This thesis presents research associated to phenotyping of plants by applying informatics techniques which includes databases, web technologies, image processing and feature measurements of 2D and 3D images. The thesis presents two enabling bioinformatics tools related by a shared set of research objectives and distinct by the nature of their applications. The first project called ClearedLeavesDB, is a common platform for plant biologists to share data and metadata about cleared leaf images. This project resulted in an online interactive database of cleared leaf images. The second project call

Abstract:
Neisseria meningitidis is a gram negative, and sometimes encapsulated, diplococcus that causes devastating disease worldwide. For the worldwide genetic surveillance of N. meningitidis, the gold standard for profiling the bacterium uses genetic loci found around the genome. Unfortunately, the software for analyzing the data for these profiles is difficult to use for a variety of reasons. This thesis shows my suite of tools called the Meningococcus Genome Informatics Platform for the analysis of these profiling data. To better understand N. meningitidis, the CDC Meningitis Laboratory and oth

Abstract:
Epigenetics refers to the mitotically heritable modifications in gene expression without a change in the genetic code. A combination of molecular, chemical and environmental factors constituting the epigenome is involved, together with the genome, in setting up the unique functionality of each cell type. DNA methylation is the most studied epigenetic mark in mammals, where a methyl group is added to the cytosine in a cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotides or a CpG site. It has been shown to have a major role in various biological phenomena such as chromosome X inactivation, regulation of gen

Abstract:
Eukaryotic gene regulation is a complex process requiring the action of many multicomponent complexes in the cell. Specific inhibitors of chromatin-associated factors allow the functional study of protein domains without genetic removal of the entire protein. Here, two small molecule probes were used to study the role of DOT1L and BET proteins in cancer biology. DOT1L is a histone methyltransferase with activity correlating with positive regulation of transcription. In MLL-rearranged leukemia, DOT1L is recruited aberrantly to early developmental transcription factors, leading to their inapprop

Abstract:
<p> Cancer is an ideal target for personal genomics-based medicine that uses high-throughput genome assays such as DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing, and expression analysis (collectively called <i>omics</i>); however, researchers and physicians are overwhelmed by the quantities of big data from these assays and cannot interpret this information accurately without specialized tools. To address this problem, I have created software methods and tools called <i>OCCAM</i> (OmiC&nbsp;data Cancer Analytic Model) and DIPSC (Differential Pathway Signature Correlation) for automatically extracting knowled
