Institute of Bioinformatics

Business World highlighted about Dr. Akhilesh Pandey and Institute of Bioinformatics under 'Biotech' section in its June 2007 issue.

Journal of Proteome Research, in its May 2006 issue, highlighted the achievements of Akhilesh Pandey and co workers at IOB (India), JHU (USA) and University of Wurzburg (Germany) in successfully mapping and assembling largest human interactome. The trend setting analysis of 25,464 human Protein Protein Interactions, tries to reform the conventional wisdom about conservation of PPIs across related organisms. It also hints that essential genes need not be highly connected. Analysis also revealed that genes involved in the same types of diseases or diseases occurring in the same organ are more likely to interact with each other.

Science magazine under its NetWatch section carried an article - 'Blood Work' about Plasma Proteome Database, a joint work between Institute of Bioinformatics and Johns Hokins University. This database allows accessing of comprehensive list of blood proteins.

Proteomics, in its August 2005 issue, covered the comprehensive efforts of Institute of Bioinformatics to create the Human Plasma Protein Database and to funtionally annotate the subproteomes in Human plasma. The database was also featured on the cover of the journal highlighting our work.

Nature, in its July 2005 issue, covered India's Biotech Boom. A special mention was made for the world class research done at the Institute Of Bioinformatics to characterize the human X chromosome.

Journal of Proteome Research, in its April 2005 issue, covered the work done by Akhilesh Pandey and his team, in analyzing the proteins in hemodialysis fluid under the heading 'Low-abundance proteins in hemodialysis fluid'.

Nature Genetics in its April 2005 issue published an editorial entitled 'A feat worth replicating', which praised the Institute of Bioinformatics' efforts in annotating the X chromosome.

An article entitled Project Creates Repository for Microarray Datasets, was published in the news section of the August issue of Journal of the National Cancer Institute (USA) describing details of the Oncomine database.

Science magazine under its NetWatch section carried an article - 'Profiling Cancer Cells' about Oncomine, a joint venture between Institute of Bioinformatics and University of Michigan. This database allows accessing of cancer microarray studies to identify characteristic cancer signatures.
