Personalized Medicine: Customised Medicines For Your Specific Genes!
By:
anisha kathpalia
Each individual is unique. This uniqueness is due to the difference in our genetic makeup. These variations affect our health and susceptibility to a disease. So why use the same medicine or treatment for everyone? This introduces the concept of personalized medicine which means developing medicines based on the genetic characters of the people. This is still a concept, but will be a reality soon!!!

Why and How of Normalization in Microarray Data Analysis
By:
Sandhya Anand
Normalization is the process used in microarray data analysis to correct the measurement errors and bias introduced in acquisition of data. The data from microarray experiments are log normalized format since the log forms of data always follow a Gaussian distribution. The process therefore contributes more towards error correction.

Pairwise Sequence Alignment For Sequence Similarity
By:
Muniba Safdar
What is pairwise alignment? It is the tool of Bioinformatics used to quantify and to visualize the sequence similarity. It is assumed that good alignment is equal to sequence similarity. In other words, the total number of alignment is huge, we need an objective function (scoring function) to identify the best alignment called 'Optimal alignment'.
