in 2010-11, Indian bioinformatics market was valued at US$58 Million While it was expeccted to grow by 25% in 2015.
In a market that require a large number of trained professionals, Bioinformatics can be a good choice.
In this article, we are going to download FASTA sequences for multiple structures from PDB [1]. We need to have PDB IDs only for input. (more…)
Most of the examples that demonstrate the SOM analysis use the default Iris dataset. It is also mentioned in the SOM example of MATLAB that for the user dataset, the predictors need to be defined [1]. But it is not quite clear how to define the features or predictors of our dataset. In this article, we will learn how to define predictors for user datasets. (more…)

tanimoto_similarities.py: A Python script to calculate Tanimoto similarities of multiple compounds using RDKit.
RDKit [1] is a very nice cheminformatics software. It allows us to perform a wide range of operations on chemical compounds/ ligands. We have provided a Python script to perform fingerprinting using Tanimoto similarity on multiple compounds using RDKit. (more…)
