Understanding Computational Biology
Environmental research has been revolutionized by sequencing technologies that generates huge amount of data by directly sequencing of DNA from environment. Analysis of the data using computational biology provides valuable insights about novel microorganisms, their functions and metabolic pathways. This blog aims to enhance understanding of different tools, algorithms and pipelines for the study of microbial diversity in different environment. Contact me: ashoks773@gmail.com

Prediction of peptidoglycan hydrolases- a new class of antibacterial proteins
Time to predict the peptidoglycan hydrolases using a recent machine learning based tool 'HyPe'.
A recent publication out from our lab. Please explore and write back to (ashok@iiserb.ac.in and drsanjivk@gmail.com) in case of any problem. Comments are welcome.
The present tool helps in the identification and classification of novel peptidoglycan hydrolases from complete genomic or metagenomic ORFs. To our knowledge, this is the only tool available for the prediction of peptidoglycan hydrolases from genomic and metagenomic data.

Xenobiotics metabolism and gut microbes
The
role of gut microbes in the metabolism of xenobiotics is known from
almost three decades. It is one of the most important field now a
days, as the activity and toxicity of xenobiotics is primarily
dependent upon the gut microbial profile. The diverse and huge
metabolic enzymes of gut microbes are the workhorses of this
metabolic activity. The population specific differences in
the gut microflora show well correlation with the activity
of these gut microbes in modulating the biotransformation of
these xenobiotics.
Recently reports have shown the major impact of the gut microflora on the pharmacological properties of a drugs. Therefore, the gut metagenomic studies focusing on the gut metagenomic potential of these gut microbes will be crucial in the field of precision medicine. For more details you can go through the article published in nature reviews titled as "The microbial pharmacists within us: a metagenomic view of xenobiotic metabolism".
