Do you have a computer? Its time for Bioinformatics

Ahamed Ismail Hossain Just imagine a scenario that you are in a hurry to get a new protein 3-D structure or to find out a drug binding site. But you can't neither invest a lot of money to have it nor can't consume huge time. Don't worry, there is a exciting alternative for you. You can produce a protein 3-D structure, identify a drug binding site, find out a specific gene/RNA/protein sequence by writing few program on your computer and gets the result within a very short time that scientists had been trying to discover for years. But you are doing the job just using few programs, tools and software. Do you know the difference between 'Dry lab' & 'Wet lab'? Dry lab helps us to reduce our time consumption, reduces expenditure of million dollars and years long effort in a research project. What I told you to imagine is a part of dry lab. Our traditional laboratories where chemicals, drugs or other materials or biological matters are handled in liquid s...
